This Scrafty serves as a crafty lure to Fairy-types, using Poison Jab to target typical switch-ins like Ribombee and Whimsicott. Shed Skin and Substitute allow Scrafty to be a superb status absorber, taking advantage of bulkier teams. Knock Off and Close Combat are strong STAB moves that provide utility and damage, respectively. Despite having coverage for Fairy-types, Scrafty still appreciates Steel-types like Doublade and Togedemaru to switch into them. In turn, Scrafty can pressure opposing Steel-types or passive walls like Regirock and Audino. Wallbreakers like Galarian Articuno and Choice Band Aggron can help soften up defensive answers that could otherwise handle Scrafty’s initial assault. In return, Scrafty can pivot into status moves and provide utility with Knock Off.
