Pokémon Go comes with an array of surprises every now and then. Some days you won't know what's going on, and when it does you have to act fast to catch it. The latest surprise was the announcement of the addition of the Battle League, the upcoming new Pokémon Go PvP combat service. Trainers everywhere will have the chance to compete against each other and test their skills. However, another surprise was announced by the announcement of the developers Niantic: Scraggy, the adorable orange Pokémon dinosaur is in the game.
Scraggy is a Dark and Fighting-type Pokémon, which makes it exceptionally weak to Fairy-type attacks, as well as Fighting and Flying-types. But you won't be able to find Scraggy just wandering the world. You need to do something specific and Reddit user Lewymd shared his encounter with Scraggy to show it.
You must reach Rank IV in the Battle League to have the potential to encounter Scraggy. To reach Rank IV, you must complete 15 battles in the Battle League. If you lose a battle, you don't lose any of your ranks. All you have to do is join the battle, and that counts towards your total. However, after reaching Rank IV, the next step is to win four Battles when you are at Rank IV or above. If you want a guaranteed Scraggy encounter, you need to start winning rather than just participating.
As of this writing, we don't know when Scraggy is coming to the general pool. If Scraggy joins Pokémon Go, we may receive a more formal announcement of how to acquire it and additional ways to add it to your roster, and how to turn it into Scrafty.
