SCRAFTY
He spits on people. He hangs around in gangs. He gets involved in turf wars. His skull is as thick as the crap that comes out of his mouth (namely "Ruzuruz! Zukin!").
But despite the likelihood of having several asbos, a double sided criminal record and being the father of several breeding center eggs, Scrafty is a likable dude. Maybe it's the very fact that he's essentially a tongue-in-cheek rendition of modern day youth sub culture that makes him so endearing. Perhaps it's the environmentally friendly usage of dry skin, or his unique type combo. Maybe it's the fact that I laid on the chav remarks a bit too thick considering the multiple origins this pokemon is derived from and this guy is essentially a loveable goofball of a pokemon that has a ton of personallity and is just a really funny idea in general. But whatever it is, Scrafty is awesome.

Man, this thing is as dull as it's name implies.
Truth be told, I'm probably one of the few pokemon fans who doesn't really understand the appeal of the Eevee family (bar Vaporeon, who is legit awesome for being so unique compared to the others), but this guy in particular really doesn't do anything for me. Looks bland as all get out, and has some seriously lame gimmicks. It glows in the dark and according to the dex, has bad BO. It's basically a pungent nightlight.
To give credit where credit is due, I was more or less forced to use one back in the gen 3 days thanks to colloseum (turns out it had perfect IVs in both defences and hp, even), and up until I finally decided to give breeding for good 'mons, I ended up using this guy an awful lot simply because of how good at stalling it was.
