**To use Scrafty effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Dark/Fighting type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Scrafty appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Scrafty fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Intimidate, Scraftinite and Adamant 32/32/2/0/0/0. Its frequent moves include Fake Out, Knock Off, Drain Punch, Close Combat, Protect, and Ice Punch. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Scrafty has important weaknesses to fairy 4x, fighting 2x, flying 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as farigiraf, torkoal, sinistcha, sylveon, and pyroar-mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
