This is a solid team I put together a few weeks ago. It uses some of the top threats in the current meta, with a few unique sets. The main goal is to sweep with Scraggy, once fighting-types, fairies, poison-types, and ghost types are weakened or KOed (they can be problematic, but sometimes Scraggy can weaken them himself). Meditite is the standard set, with Poison Jab to help KO fairies for Scraggy. Scarf Pawniard is used due to the extra assurance against Ghost-types and it's ability to clean lategame. The Murkrow set used here is a pretty unique, and surprisingly effective set. Generally you want to set up a substitute to scout your opponent's move choice, and if you need to hit it with thief, keep using Substitute until you use up your Berry Juice. Thunder Wave lets Murkrow check Misdreavus very well, given that most go for Will-O-Wisp on the first turn, when you would set up your Substitute. Be sure to use Thunder Wave only when your sub is still up, otherwise you risk taking a large chunk of damage. Brave Bird is best used on weakened foes or fighting-types, preferably when you will take limited recoil. Ponyta helps check Fighting-types and other physical threats by burning them. Misdreavus uses Heal Bell because otherwise this team is extremely weak to status. Otherwise it is standard, and uses Eviolite so it doesn't automatically die to Knock Off. This team overall is pretty solid, but it has some problems handling Poison-types and certain Fighting-tyeps, as well as Fletchling and hazards. Hope people have fun using it!
