Biology

Its headbutts are strong and brutal. Its shed skin hangs loosely around its waist, causing it to trip often.

Design & origin

Scraggy's shed skin is reminiscent of sagged pants.

  1. It protects itself with its durable skin. It’s thought that this Pokémon will evolve once its skin has completely stretched out.

  2. If it locks eyes with you, watch out! Nothing and no one is safe from the reckless headbutts of this troublesome Pokémon.

    Sword

  3. It stretches its saggy skin up to its neck to protect itself. The saggier their skin, the more respect they garner.

    Ultra Moon

  4. They move in small groups, walking around lazily. Anyone who makes eye contact gets smacked with a headbutt.

    Ultra Sun

  5. Proud of its sturdy skull, it suddenly headbutts everything, but its weight makes it unstable, too.

    Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Alpha Sapphire

  6. It immediately headbutts anyone that makes eye contact with it. Its skull is massively thick.

    White

  7. Its skin has a rubbery elasticity, so it can reduce damage by defensively pulling its skin up to its neck.
