>Bulky slow fighting type
WHY? They could have at least give him a health buff to compensate for that bulk.
>>32559087
Scrafty is the uglies gen V abomination of all
It deserves this
>>32559087
this build was the stuff of champions in the past though. unfortunately no so anymore
>>32559087
There's fun ways to use it. Bulk up + stabs + rest with shed skin is solid once you get rid of fairies, and I've been using a dragon dance acid downpour set on a sticky web team this gen, and it's ok. Not great, there are better fighting and dark types, but if you like it enough it's usable. That's true of most pokemon.
>>32559227
I'd rather use SD Pangoro for a Sticky Web team as Mold Breaker ignores Mimiyu's Disguise and can OHKO Fairies without a Z move. Scrafty is usable on it's own merits but really suffers from it's competition.
>32559098
There's literally nothing wrong with it.
Also you don't know what "compensate" means.
>>32559279
Pangoro can't boost speed or pull off Shed Skin + Rest. Not to mention Doubles utility. Scrafty doesn't have any problems with Pangoro.
>>32559087
Hey, compared to other slow tanky fighting types, Scrafty has it made:
>dark typing allows him to negate the psychic weakness he'd have otherwise
>access to intimidate to further boost his bulk
>also gets an HP restoring physical STAB move in drain punch, keeping him alive
>Expansive physical movepool including the elemental punches, knock off and poison jab
Slap an assault vest on him and he's good to go. The problem is the influx of strong fairy types in gen 6 and especially gen 7.
Its in game animations since moving to 3D are abysmal and pretty much identical
>>32559098
Shit taste confirmed desu senpai
Scrafty is a total bro and you're just a fucking faggot.
>>32559441
ugly
>>32559366
Walled by alomomola tho
>>32559279
Yeah, but I personally don't like pangoro and think scrafty's great, so I can live with it being a little sub-par. I've used worse mons.
>>32559441
>Pangoro is a better Dark/Fighting
>there are better designed lizardmons everywhere
>still can't top Jynx, the OG Nigmon
Scrafty is trash
>>32559087
scrafty and conkeldurr were pretty tops when they were released
they only suck now because of fairies, and that isn't even a consequence of their builds
>>32559441
Just look at it you dumbfuck
It looks absolutely retarded. It in no way resembles a fucking lizard.
>>32561866
It's not a lizard. It's a Pokemon.
>>32559753
>better Dark/Fighting
They fulfill completely different niches though. Scrafty is a slow defensive Pokémon with offensive capabilities, Pangoro is a slow offensive type that gets OHKO'd by 3/4 of the metagame before being able to do anything.
Scrafty is a Fighting-type that can switch into Talonflame's Brave Bird (provided no Choice Band), tank a second Brave Bird and then OHKO with Stone Edge. What niche does Pangoro fill?

> Scrafty is a Fighting-type that can switch into Talonflame's Brave Bird (provided no Choice Band), tank a second Brave Bird and then OHKO with Stone Edge.
I know scrafty is defensive as fuck, but I'll be needing some calcs here. Instinct alone makes me doubt on a fighting type tanking two brave birds from a talonflame.
>>32559441
It´s even ugly on fanarts
stop defending gen 5 pokemons please
>it will never be gen 5 again
>>32562100
-1 252 Atk Gale Wings Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 150-176 (44.9 - 52.6%) -- 21.9% chance to 2HKO
(150, 150, 152, 152, 156, 158, 158, 162, 162, 164, 168, 168, 170, 170, 174, 176)
Of course that takes into account Intimidate, but you're sure to get that if you switch in.
>>32562112
Huh, well that's a pretty cool thing to know
>>32559087
>It had Dragon dance
>It had Drain punch
Fucker ruled the fucking world until fairies came in and made him PU.
Even Pangoro has bullet punch if that even counts for anything.
>>32562112
>no item
lol nice cherrypicked calc faggot
>>32562190
I chose two standard sets from the damage calc, didn't adjust anything.
>>32561956
Yeah. People should remember that Pokemon=/=Cartoon Animals.
Oh, wait...
>>32561956
Scrafty legitimately looks like it's from Yokai Watch
>>32562103
Here's your (You).
>>32559441
I'm with this guy. Gen 5 had a bunch of stinkers but Scrafty is not one of them
>>32562395
Go ahead and enlighten everyone on what makes its design good then, because I just can't see it. Scrafty to me is one of the ugliest motherfuckers they've ever made. It's up there with turds like Toxicroak, Incineroar, and Diggersby.
>>32562422
>Toxicroak is ugly
You have no reason to post.
>>32562422
Agree, but you kind of fucked up with Toxicroak
>>32562431
>>32562440
Toxicroak looks absolutely hideous
It's perfectly in the same league as the other shitlings I lsited
>>32562451
>it doesn't have triangle eyes or an animal face so it's ugly
>>32559087
It would have been perfect for Team Skull to use.
Scrafty was up there with the few Fighting types still relevant in VGC post-Fairy release, so that's actually pretty impressive.
>>32559087
>>32562422
>insults scrafty AND toxicroak
End your life. Best two fightimg types right here.
>>32562111
>it will never be gen 4 again
FTFY
I'm not a Sinnohfetus, cuz I'm a Johtoddler, but gen 4 was the best gen competitively.
>>32561998
Pangoro fills the niche of being an RU wallbreaker and gets Gunk Shot to take care of fairies.. Literally nobody uses Scrafty in the current metagame, and it's already dropping to NU because it has no niche or offensive presence in walls and fairies: the metagame.
