No I will not include Headbutt in the moveset. Since this is the Little Cup question for the Pokemon, I will give a legitamate moveset.

Scraggy (M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Shed Skin
EVs: 36 HP / 156 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SDef / 212 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rest
- Dragon Dance
- Drain Punch
- Crunch

Set up Dragon Dance, then use Rest to heal off the damage, with a chance to heal it quicker thanks to Shed Skin. You'll then have a sweeper with solid defenses along with a nice defensive typing. Eviolite further increases its ability as a bulky sweeper. Drain Punch and Crunch are all that are needed for attacking moves, they have such good coverage that I'm pretty sure only Croagunk resists it in Little Cup. The EVs give you solid stats.

Well, it's 3 years after the question was asked, but here's an XY moveset.

The times have not been kind to our favorite reptile and his loose trousers. Fairy-types resist both of his STAB attacks, and can KO in return. But there is still a niche for Scraggy, with his nice bulk and decent Attack.

Scraggy @ Eviolite
Ability: Shed Skin
Jolly Nature
EVs: 36 HP / 156 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SpD / 212 Spe
-Dragon Dance
-Knock Off
-Drain Punch
-Iron Head/Poison Jab

Dragon Dance is just a great move, boosting Scraggy's good Attack and meh Speed to high levels. Knock Off gets rid of opposing Berry Juice and Eviolite, and Drain Punch provides reliable recovery. Iron Head and Poison Jab are Fairy coverage moves. Use whichever one you like.
Shed Skin is used to shrug off Paralysis and Burns.
