Scraggy is a rubbery-skinned fighting Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. Its evolved form is Scrafty.

Information

Scraggy has skin which has a rubbery elasticity, to the point where its loose skin resembles a loose pair of pants. It can reduce damage by defensively pulling the skin up to its neck. Scraggy also has a massively thick skull that it uses in combat, as it has been known to immediately headbutt anyone that it makes eye contact with.

It evolves into Scrafty at Level 39.

Appearances

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Scraggy was uncommonly found at Routes 1 (dark grass only), 4 and 18, the entrance to Desert Resort and P2 Laboratory.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime, Ash received a Pokémon egg as a gift which hatched into a headstrong Scraggy which often tried most things around it in battle.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, one chapter featured a Scraggy and a Scrafty stealing an accordion that was going to be used in something White was filming. They tried to escape after being caught, and although they were able to deflect Tepig's attack with their skin, they ultimately got caught in the web of Black's Galvantula.

Trivia

• Scraggy is a word meaning thin and scrawny, although its name could also be seen as a combination of "scrappy" (reflecting its nature) and "baggy" (due to its skin resembling baggy pants). Scraggy and Scrafty were designed based on urban youths who stereotypically wear sagging pants.
