Stats & Training
Attack and Defense carry most of Scraggy's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Attack EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
If it locks eyes with you, watch out! Nothing and no one is safe from the reckless headbutts of this troublesome Pokémon.
It protects itself with its durable skin. It’s thought that this Pokémon will evolve once its skin has completely stretched out.
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.
