I tried out Scrafty for the first time recently, and he has pulled off a few sweeps for me. Most people aren't used to seeing him, so that helps make it easier to prepare for a sweep. I definitely think he's viable in OU, and wonder how many people have actually tried using him before...
I used to love LumDD moxie scrafty, and one of my old teams was based around setting up for its sweep. I haven't used it in a long time, and tbh I don't plan to. It just seems out of place for me, and not as good as it used to be. But despite what I feel, he's still a threat and is good in the right hands.
Less people are using gliscor and more traditional walls, which Scrafty has trouble muscling through, I think this is the reson for his slow drop in useage.
is that what you meant.
yep I such are phrasing
The only physical walls Scrafty got problems with are actually Skarmory and Hippowdon, both of them have to phaze him out so they are shacky counters and both can be beaten with enough residual damage. I also don't think Gliscor usage is dropping looking at the stats Gliscor usage has been pretty stable ever since the beginning of BW OU.
Scraftys biggest problem is still that he is far to easy to revenge kill and that he poses almost no threat without set-up.
