Scrafty

Suggested by ~answertolifeis42

Scrafty is a ‘Hoodlum Pokémon’, meaning he is your average thug, yob or hooligan. If you don’t think he deserves that title, then maybe you don’t know enough about his behaviour; Scrafty like to go around in groups beating up anything which comes close to entering their territory by kicking and spitting on them. Sound familiar? You might think a bit of spitting and kicking is harmless, but please keep in mind these Pokémon spit acid and throw kicks that can break concrete.

Upon first glance it appears Scrafty wears baggy yellow pants and a matching scarf, but these seemingly ordinary fashion accessories are actually the shredded skin of its previous evolution. It’s like they can’t afford to buy new clothes so they take the clothes which they long ago outgrew, modify the hell out of them to make them look vaguely original, and then walk around uncomfortably in them because they still don’t quite fit right. To further the strangeness of their appearance they also flaunt a red Mohican hairdo. Within a given group, the Scrafty with the biggest Mohican is the one in charge.

Scrafty does have a few advantages in the battlefield. Because of its duel Dark/Fighting type it is completely immune to Psychic attacks which would certainly come in handy for a certain opponent in the Pokémon League. Also, when Scrafty defeats a Pokémon (be it a friend or foe) it feels so proud of itself that its ability to Attack increases. I think Scrafty is balancing along a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance. Is this the strong sturdy Pokémon you would want on your team or the delinquent ruffian who you fear is going to firebomb your house? You decide.
