So far it's been established that psychics are a huge threat in this meta since Absol left. The problem is finding something that can take them on even with their coverage moves. Scraggy is a fantastic mon that can not only take neutral damage from all of their coverage moves but also frequently set up on the wide variety of psychic types in the tier. It is immune to psychic and takes neutral damage from both HP ground and Signal Beam, has 2 fantastic set up moves in bulk up and dragon dance, and a useful ability in shed skin. Scraggy can pretty easily switch into Musharna and begin setting up. The set I've been testing out lately is an offensive ddance set recommended to me by Molk.

@ Eviolite
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Hi Jump Kick
- Crunch

This set can patch up any weaknesses to psychic types and can sweep pretty easily given the right set up. I've been using this set with a Custap Golem lead to give Scraggy a free switch in. It also pairs well with bulky physical mons that can take powerful fighting and flying type moves. I'd highly encourage you all to try this set.
