Do I need this Scraggy?

Dec. 31, 2020

I’m playing through a Black 2 Nuzlocke at the moment, and I just beat Burgh. My starter was a Tepig, which is now a Pignite. I plan to get the Zorua from Driftveil City as well, meaning I already have one Fighting type on the team, and I’ll have a Dark type soon enough. My current team is Pignite, Patrat, Herdier, Scraggy, and Magby, most of which will be replaced eventually. I know Scrafty is an excellent Pokemon to have in Nuzlockes, but the type overlap worries me a bit. So should I keep it on the team, or should I dump it for Zorua?

If you don’t have another plan for the Pokemon slot then of course! The more Pokemon the merrier. If you find a better Pokemon than Scrafty in one of the later routes, (like I did with Metagross on my Black 2 nuzlocke,) then I would say it’s safe to ditch it. I personally did not use Scrafty in my nuzlocke, I chose Tepig and did not need him. Emboar gets access to Hammer Arm which is really good in the Elite Four.

Wish you luck!
