Scrafty

Mega Scrafty holds a 0.04% share at rank 214 in singles, essentially absent from the ladder. The combination of Intimidate and a dual Dark-Fighting offensive profile is appealing on paper, yet the 58 base speed and the four-times weakness to Fairy jointly keep it from carving a role in the metagame.

In doubles it reaches a 0.96% share at rank 69, still a fringe presence. Mega evolution's Intimidate plus boosted bulk fits the Fake-Out rotation archetype natively, yet the four-times Fairy weakness and 58 base speed cap its longevity against top offensive threats.

Playstyle：The defining doubles moveset pairs Fake Out at 24.2% with Knock Off at 23.9%, the first providing priority disruption on the lead turn and the second removing opposing items. Drain Punch at 12.3% and Close Combat at 12.2% nearly split the Fighting STAB slot between sustain and raw burst. Ice Punch at 7.9% answers common Dragon and Ground threats, while Protect at 5.5% shields allies and syncs with the Fake Out rotation. The leading spreads are Brave at 17.8% and Adamant at 17.3%, both maxing HP and Attack; Brave trades speed for a slower but more secure Dynamax turn order, Adamant keeps speed to execute the Fake Out timing window. Intimidate is the only ability, and the item is fixed to Scraftinite. The most common partner is Torkoal at 13.4%, forming a textbook Fake Out plus sun lead with Mega Scrafty, while Farigiraf at 11.4% reinforces the rotation as a secondary Fake Out user with Trick Room support.

Single use sits at 0.03%, effectively absent from the ladder. A base 58 Speed leaves no room to act first in modern play, and Dragon Dance at 7.3% selection shows players have tried to fix that without success. Intimidate softens physical hits, but the 4x Fairy weakness means common meta picks punish it on switch-in.

Doubles use sits at 0.15%, ranked 159th, putting it on the fringe. Intimidate at 87.5% confirms it still enters as a support disruptor, with Knock Off 20.9% and Fake Out 24.9% carrying the utility role. Close Combat at 17.8% shows it is not purely support, but the 4x Fairy weakness is easy to focus down in doubles.

Playstyle：Scrafty in doubles revolves around Fake Out pivots and Knock Off utility to strip items and punish setup. Close Combat at 17.8% lets it pick off weakened targets while Drain Punch at 6.5% offers sustain, placing it between support disruptor and secondary attacker. Roseli Berry 32.2% and Sitrus Berry 27.2% lead items, with Leftovers 12.7% behind, all aimed at surviving focused double hits.
