Scrafty (Japanese: ズルズキン Zuruzukin) is a dual-type Dark/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Scraggy starting at level 39.

Biology

Physiology

Scrafty is a bipedal lizard-like Pokémon. Its oval-shaped eyes, that have droopy gray eyelids, are set to the sides of its head, and its teeth are like that of Croagunk. It sports a red crest on its head, similar in appearance to a mohawk. The yellow skin that once covered its head as a Scraggy has moulted off and hangs on its shoulders, similar to a jacket hoodie. Its body is orange-colored, with thin arms and and a gray, scaled belly. It carries its lower body's molted, yellow skin around its legs, making them resemble pants, although some of the skin seems to trail off to form or cover a tail. On its tail is a single red spike.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

It can destroy concrete with its kicking attacks, and it spews bodily acids from its mouth.

Behavior

Scrafty live in groups that are governed by leaders, chosen by the size of their crests. They form these groups to beat up anyone who intrudes in their territory.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Scrafty and its pre-evolved form.
  • Because of this, they are the only Fighting-type Pokémon immune to Psychic-type attacks.
• Scrafty has the highest Defense of all non-legendary Fighting-type and Dark-type Pokémon.
  • It also is tied with Gallade for the highest Special Defense of all non-legendary Fighting-type Pokémon.
• Scrafty is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 488.

Origin

Scrafty appears to be based on a sort of lizard, possibly a frilled lizard given its neck ruffle. In addition, with its red spike mohawk, molted skin "pants" and "hoodie", Scrafty also seem to encapsulate stereotypes of various urban youth subcultures of the past several decades, namely hip hop or punk.

Name origin

Scrafty's name derives from the words "scraggy", meaning thin or scrawny, and "crafty". It may also be a twist on "scrappy", meaning being fond of fighting or competing. Zuruzukin, its Japanese name, may come from zuruzuru, the sound or act of dragging or loose, both referring to its baggy "pants", and zukin (hood), referring to the hood-like formation around its neck.
