Scrafty Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Scrafty looks average on paper at 488 BST. But Intimidate is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Knock Off with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Scrafty's biggest threats include Togekiss (Fairy), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Flying), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Togekiss is the most dangerous since Fairy moves deal 4x damage.
Scrafty gets Intimidate, Shed Skin, and Moxie. But Intimidate is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Scrafty is a physical attacker with base 90 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 58 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Knock Off, Drain Punch, Dragon Dance, and Icepunch. Knock Off leads at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
