Scraggy Weakness

Scraggy's Dark/Fighting typing leaves it vulnerable to Fairy, Fighting, and Flying. Fairy hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Psychic-type attacks completely.

Legends: Z-A Scraggy Best Moveset

Still unevolved, still relevant. Scraggy's Eviolite bulk with Defense and Sp. Def investment EVs creates a defensive profile that punches above its stage. Intimidate adds passive value. Fakeout gives it offensive presence.

Moves

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Scraggy won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 11 types means it always has an effective option. Focus Blast and Dynamic Punch anchor the STAB core.
