Scrafty, also known as the Hoodlum Pokemon, is the 560th pokemon in the National 'Dex. His defining traits are his mohawk-like crest and baggy... skin pants. One wonders why he retains this leftover skin; it's almost like he's trying to conceal something underneath there. It's definitely not like he's using them to help him get around. Fact is, those skin pants get in the way so much that Scrafty has a slightly higher chance of tripping than the average character.

Up Special - Rock Climb
Scrafty clambers upward clumsily with the help of rocks that appear during the attack's animation. As far as recoveries go, this isn't anything phenomenal, but it has another use that's a lot more important. Or at least cooler.
As Scrafty climbs these rocks, they will fall to the ground, dealing damage to any opponent that gets in their way before either dropping off into the abyss or landing on the stage. When the latter occurs, they act as stage obstacles, a bit taller and wider than Kirby. When Scrafty gets back to the ground, he can grab the rocks just like he'd grab any opponent, allowing him to incorporate them in some of his throws - but we'll get to that later. After Scrafty has hold of a rock with his grab, pressing the A Button will make him look around warily for a moment before stuffing it in those baggy pants of his and then snickering to himself. It looks like he's got a plan for those rocks...
Oh, and a few more things.
-Opponents? Yeah, they can grab the rocks too. Fortunately for you they don't have a skin pouch to hide them in (unless they're another Scrafty), but they can still move them around and toss them off the stage.
-If Scrafty trips with any rocks in his pants, they'll tumble out, but he
can pick them back up.
-Throughout the set, many of Scrafty's moves can incorporate these rocks directly; those can be picked out through the use of
brown coloring.
