Overview

Scaravolt is a bulky special attacker with an interesting typing, both offensively and defensively. It is instantly threatening and hard to KO. Its slow speed can be an issue, but is offset by its great bulk and power, and can even give it an advantage with Deceit Aura situations. Scaravolt's main issues are its lack of reliable Fire STABs (Fire Tornado being 2 hold) and its stamina management (because of Thunder Strike's Exhaust).

(1.3 DUKE'S NOTES - EMBERS IS A CONSIDERATION OVER ELECTRIC STORM OR BURROW, AS A WAY TO GET MITIGATION ON SLOWER ATTACKERS LIKE YOWLAR.)

Scaravolt is a very beefy tank with the help of Half-Full, but the 0.9.3 patch has lowered its offensive output considerably, cutting the special attack buffs in half. This slows Scaravolt's offensive pace considerably, which means that it may need some help to reach previous highs offensively.

Almost unequivocally, Half-Full Scaravolt users slot all three of Thunder Strike, Electric Storm, and Fire Tornado. Baton Pass offsets much of the struggles of Half-Full's HP reduction, letting Scaravolt pivot very well. The fourth slot is often switched around: Earthbreaker is good in the mirror-match, Meteor Swarm can catch crystals and natures unaware, Burrow lets it pivot back in to absorb a hit, or set itself up to dodge earth attacks as well.

Tems that can set up or threaten earths, like Seismunch, Venmet, and Vulffy, make good partners for Scaravolt. Anything that can heal Scara will also be very useful.

If anyone can find the player responsible for the physical Scaravolt set seen in Draft Arena, please report them to the authorities.
