In response to Nano: Im pretty sure it's LO set is the same thing as its eviolite set only with less survivability and an increase in weakness to priority for a negligible damage boost since you should be OHKOing with 1 DD boost if scraggy is being played correctly.
I know Corkscrew mentioned the CS/moxie set, and tbh I've never seen it nor used it nor even heard of it (which is probably bad since a little "smogon searching" reveals it to be right under the DD set on scraggy's page). My immediate reaction to it is "an even later game sweeper" that uses a CS to begin a sweep without a turn setting up.
I've said my part on the scraggy subject and don't really intend to explain further. I will not deny that Scraggy is one of the best sweepers in the teir, but simultaneously the current metagame wants more than just "good sweepers," and I think thats what the S teir should be: pokemon with multiple, abusive sets or more obscure checks and counters (like how mixkrow decimates SubRoost's counters etc).
I'd also like to move the forum discussion away from Scraggy. I'm more than willing to discuss this further in the mIRC, but i definitely feel like we should pull away from scraggy (at least until the other viable mons get ranks) and give the other LCer's the time of day in the forum.
