Scrafty!!!!!!!! Moxie abuse. Please rate.

[Rosez66]

Ok. So this team is based all around scrafty. The reason being is that I really like him and his ability to hit almost the whole ou tier for a at least neutral damage. Also he looks badass. But anyway onto the team.

Scrafty (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Moxie
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Crunch
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch

This is the main man. I really like the dragon dance set although it may seem outclassed by dragonite the real power comes from coverage and the self healing always helps. Crunch and drain punch are the STAB moves of choice and ice punch is take down pesky pokemon with a 4X times weakness to it.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 20 Def / 236 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Thunder Wave
- Iron Head
- Wish
- Stealth Rock

The first thing which I knew I would need is a supporter with stealth rock. I chose jirachi as I needed a pokemon which could take special based moves, mainly flying and fighting aimed at scrafty and support the sweep aswell.

Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 224 HP / 252 Def / 32 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Drill Peck
- Roost

Skarmory is used as my physical wall. He to can take flying and fighting types moves well although on the physical spectrum. He also resists most priority moves which could harm scrafty like Mach punches. Spikes is also to help the sweep.

Tentacruel (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Scald
- Protect
I know I needed a rapid spinner for a few reasons. Firstly to take away toxic spikes, to keep scraftys lum berry intact, and also to keep his longevity because he has high defense but low HP so it takes its toll. I have chosen liquid ooze as I'm not running rain and to toxic spikes because, well I prefer them to toxic which could pontentially miss and if used on pokemon with natural cure would be a wasted turn.

Rotom @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Volt Switch
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Trick

I know this one may seem unorthodox but most spin blockers ar either set up fodder or loses momentum, both of which rotom retains. It can cripple most rapid spinners and suprt mons with trick and can also come in on most rapid spinners crple them with trick or in starmies case KO it.

Landorus-T (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Superpower

Lastly I needed a revenge killer and something to switch into all the physical pokemon in OU and he fits the bill perfectly and I am very please with him so far. U turn also forms a surprisingly good volt turn core with rotom.

I will continue the RMT later on as I'm busy at the moment.

Also if someone can say how to insert pictures on iPad please say because it would make it look much better.

This team has some pretty great support for your main goal of a Scrafty sweep. Scrafty is pretty awesome, and I'm glad you're using Lum Berry rather than leftovers or something, as so many people try to status Scrafty when they see DD. His coverage is impeccable, and his power is incredible, especially after an obligatory DD + a moxie kill, or two DD's if you can set that up. While the support on this team is great, I'd personally like to see a Dual Screen user to greatly facilitate Scrafty owning face.

One particular one I've had much success with in the past in conjunction with Scrafty is dual screen Latios. People will expect an offensive scarf/specs/LO, which gives you ample time to set up screens. Added to this, you can sac yourself and get Scrafty safely in through the use of Memento, which often forces the opponent to switch, or if they were setting up on Latios, it nullifies that set up. The only problem is deciding which team member to replace. Landorus and Rotom have great synergy, and should probably stay. Tentacruel is pretty invaluable, but Skarmory, not so much. As such, that's probably who I would replace with this uncommon dual screener Latios (probably 252 Speed 252 HP with Light Clay, Moveset Reflect/Light Screen/Memento and your choice of HP Fire or Draco Meteor). With all the support you have for Scrafty once you have both a spinner, toxic spikes, stealth rock, two choice scarfers immune to ground, which Tenta and Jirachi are weak to, and dual screen support with -2-2 memento support, it will be extremely easy to get Scrafty to +2+2 or +3+3 DD and proceed to Moxie sweep. The biggest obstacle is opposing Skarmory and Hippodown. Hopefully you'll be able to wear them down throughout the course of the match so that Scrafty won't be phazed.
