It has access to Drain Punch to keep it around longer, Quick Guard to stop Pranksters, Snarl to chop down those Special Attackers and Super Fang as an offensive option if it gets burnt. Not to mention that Scrafty resists Ghost and Dark and is immune to Psychic which is nice.
One of the reasons I'm okay with Scrafty not getting Wide Guard is due to Aegislash having it. I don't think it's necessary to have 2 mons with it. Also, I was considering a set like this for my Scrafty:
Scrafty @ Sitrus Berry
Intimidate
Impish
240 HP/ 224 Atk/ 44 Def (Sitrus)
- Fake Out
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Quick Guard
Some damage calcs I ran with the common physical threats:
-1 252+ Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Double-Edge vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 85-100 (50 - 58.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-1 252+ Atk Landorus-T Superpower vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 86-102 (50.5 - 60%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Iron Head vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 110-133 (64.7 - 78.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-1 252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 112-135 (65.8 - 79.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-1 252 Atk Life Orb Terrakion Close Combat vs. 240 HP / 44+ Def Scrafty: 135-164 (79.4 - 96.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
So assuming intimidate, I can survive just about anything. None of this includes Drain Punch healing either, so most of these are probably 3HKO. I could also run Assault Vest, but most special sweepers are either Sylveon or Heatran, which Scrafty dies regardless to Sylveon and can tank Heatran pretty solidly.
252+ SpA Heatran Heat Wave vs. 240 HP / 0 SpD Scrafty: 79-94 (46.4 - 55.2%) -- 68% chance to 2HKO
It my opinion its a matter of do I want a better shot at OHKO a threat or being able to survive and annoy it. Personally I'm of the latter camp, so for now I'll go with Scrafty.
