Answer 1

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.

My god, never think of using this kid with rest...

Answer 2

Headbutt? In a moveset? Without Normal typing? Oh boy..

Headbutt is pretty strong even without STAB, but since Scraggy is so slow, it kinda sucks that the flinch chance is basically zero.

Drain Punch is my STAB of choice, as with a Big Root, Scraggy will not be going down anytime soon. It's a great move to use with Pokemon that how low HP stats like Scraggy.

Payback is also good STAB, as it makes use of Scraggy's low Speed. Added bonus for off-setting that Headbutt!

An elemental Punch (Fire/Ice/Thunderpunch) would definitely benefit Scraggy for the last slot. Fire Punch gets rid of Ferroseed, Ice Punch rids Dratini and Flying-types, and Thunderpunch can make sure Frillish is kept quiet. Dragon Dance could be a good boosting option, but you'd need a different Dark-type STAB. Fake Out is a no-fail, priority flincher, and is an amazing move to always have, especially on a LC star like Scraggy. Take your pick!
