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.
Its skin has a rubbery elasticity, so it can reduce damage by defensively pulling its skin up to its neck.
Proud of its sturdy skull, it suddenly headbutts everything, but its weight makes it unstable, too.
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.
| Damage | Types |

| 4x (Critical) | Fairy |
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting, Flying |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Rock, Ghost |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Dark |
