Optimizing Mega Scrafty Teams: VGC Strategy Guide
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community discusses optimizing a Mega Scrafty team to overcome common ground and flying-type weaknesses. Members provide strategic advice on item choices like White Herb, move sets including Fake Out and Ally Switch, and the importance of adding Steel-types to counter Fairy-types. This discussion is essential for trainers looking to refine their competitive builds and improve their performance in VGC tournaments.
Hi, I was trying out a Scrafty team, specifically this one but three of the Pokémon on the team are weak to ground or flying. I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations on how to adjust the team's direction.

Hi, I’ve been testing a team featuring Mega Scrafty and I like it; however, I don’t have much experience, and I’m not entirely sold on having three pokemon that are weak to flying or ground types. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on which Pokémon I could swap out. Thanks for the help.

Maybe give Milotic ice beam to beat ground types
Ahh ur team is good but if u wanna go next level
Use ally switch ceruledge with mega scrafty
To block fairy attacks and fighting attacks i guess
Run fakeout on sneasler too
I'd swap it for Bulk Up, right?
Is it worth having a Sneasler trained in Attack and Speed without a focus sash or white herb?
I would definitely have to change the ability to equip it with the White Herb.
If you're running fake out you pretty much have to run max speed max atk
for the mirror match up
unless you're doing something tricky
Ive used a mega scrafty team myself, and it has such a weird speed stat that it kinda needs tailroom
also more steel, i made my secondary mega metagross and i cannot over exaggerate much you need to stop fairies right away
sneasler is usually not enough, especially because it doesnt resist fairyy
Oh, okay I understand it now
It would be Mega Metagross and remove raichu, right? Who did you use as your tr setter for your tailwind?
