Scrappy
Summary
Scrappy is a Pokémon ability that allows its possessor to hit Ghost-type Pokémon with Normal- and Fighting-type moves, which would normally be ineffective. This ability therefore ensures that Ghost-type Pokémon no longer pose an immunity barrier to these types of moves, thus enhancing the offensive capabilities of Pokémon with this ability.
Key Effects of Scrappy: 1. Bypassing Immunities: Normally, Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to Normal- and Fighting-type moves. Scrappy overrides this immunity, allowing such moves to connect and deal damage as usual. 2. Strategic Advantage: This ability provides a significant strategic advantage against Ghost-type Pokémon, which often rely on their immunity to Normal- and Fighting-type moves for defense.
Interesting Facts: 1. Introduction and Availability: Scrappy was first introduced in Generation IV of the Pokémon games and has since been associated with several Pokémon, notably including Kangaskhan, Miltank, and Pangoro. 2. **Hidden Ability Forms
Effects
- This Pokémon ignores ghost-type Pokémon's immunity to normal- and fighting-type moves. Ghost Pokémon's other types affect damage as usual.
