Game Plan

How to actually play it

  1. 1

    Mega Scrafty can come in on resisted hits — use it as a pivot, not a sweeper.

  2. 2

    Trade hits patiently. You don't need to win every interaction immediately.

  3. 3

    Save it for when its teammates need a safety net.

Common Mistakes

What new players get wrong

  • Switching Mega Scrafty into fairy and fighting attacks — it's a fast way to lose half your team's plan.

  • Trying to outspeed faster threats. Pair it with a slow pivot or speed control instead.

  • Locking into the wrong move. Always read the opponent's switch-in before clicking.
