Suicide
I wish Kommo-o came out in Gen 5.
>>32647130
delete that stupid x4!
>>32647130
Dragon Dance+Poison Jab
with Roseli berry.

>Surviving a STAB Fairy move with no bulk investment
Just run the Poison Z-crystal instead.

Scrafty can't outspeed scarved Lele after a Dragon Dance, and can't OHKO it with an unboosted Poison Jab. Also:
>252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Roseli Berry Scrafty: 276-326 (101.4 - 119.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
(276, 278, 282, 284, 290, 294, 296, 300, 302, 306, 308, 312, 314, 318, 320, 326)

Use them in lower tiers?
>>32647130
Use them anyway?
>>32647240
your opponent has to switch into the fairy type in the first place
I'd commit suicide, as you should have.
>>32647130
>Im a big fan of Dark, Fighting and Dragon types for some reason
I'm also very edgy.
great taste OP, Scrafty is my favourite and Hydreigon is pretty close too
Teambuild around them, just bring a Steel-Type for switch ins

I was just implying that.
Scrafty was never good. It's fucked over by its "low HP high defenses" shit stat distribution, which is a shame considering everything else about it is great.
Hydreigon's always been very awkward, even moreso after Fairy's introduction, but at least it can consistently U-Turn out of most Fairies.
>UU
>d-dropping tiers like crazy!!!!!1!1!1!!1
I bet you're one of those retards that say anything below UU is shit.
>>32647130
Hydreigon is a personal favourite, so I'll give you some advice:
If you want to run Hydreigon in OU, just pair it with Jirachi (or M-Meta if you're playing ORAS). Fighting is the only type that one is weak to and the other doesn't at least resist.And if you slap on a fairy, that's a core right there!
Hydreigon still has its niches in OU. It resists Narutoad's STABs, can deal with a +2 M-Mawile Sucker Punch and now that Volcarona has stopped running Bug Buzz, it can deal with that too.
Scrafty can be a threatening Dragon Dancer in RU, and can even do some damage to the UU fairies with Z-Iron Tail or Poison Jab. It's no good in OU, though.
And in the end, if you miss them too much, just go back to BW and use them there.
>>32647142
he would have still been shit

Scrafty might not have been OU but it did have a sort of interesting niche as a bulky Fighting type with some good setup options (Bulk Up, Dragon Dance). Don't forget that Intimidate makes it that much more physically bulky:
-1 252 Atk Adaptability Lucario-Mega Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Scrafty: 272-324 (81.4 - 97%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Besides it was UU, that's pretty good.

Considering Alola, yes.
