My vote went to Scrafty cos I actually got to use it. It has great moves and mine is so awesome, she can Hi Jump Kick really hard! She is also equipped with Moxie as her ability, souping up her Attack with every foe she knocks out.

I'm so proud of my Scrafty, never got to use Zoroark at all so that's why I'm a Scrafty girl when it comes to these two.

So yeah, Scrafty all the way.

Zoroark looks cooler by far, but I just didn't find it that good in battle at all. Maybe I wasn't using it as best as it could be used, but I raised one all the way into the 70s and it didn't do me much good in game (I don't really battle competitively so that's why I'm not judging it on that front). I much prefer Zoroark's design, but Scrafty seems to just be better overall in terms of battling. (I should probably try raising one before saying that xD)

Scrafty, since I think STAB Fighting and Dark is a great combination. I also like its versatility in that it can be more offensively-built with Dragon Dance and Moxie, or have a more defensive set up with Bulk Up and Shed Skin. Though I find Zoroark's ability to be very interesting, and its movepool to be diverse, Scrafty just edges out on this one.

Design-wise, I think both are cool, but I just find Scrafty's design more... fun? Those pants and that mohawk...

I like Zoroark design more, and I do like it in terms of battling but not as much as Scrafty. And I did use Zoroark on my Black run.

My main reason for voting Scrafty is because of the prominence it has in the anime or should I say Scraggy. I love Ash Scraggy so that is the key reason I voted for Scrafty who I believe Ash Scraggy with get to that level at some point.

Scrafty. Zoroark sucks. Idk why it has such a huge fan base. It's terrible. Scrafty is just awesome. Hi Jump Kick, Ice Punch and such, it's just awesome.
And it's adorable. <3
Probably because it was the first Gen V pokemon introducted and was showcased in its own movie along with Zorua. Zoroark always struck me as a poor mans Lucario. He may even get a bigger fanbase if Pokemon Co. decide to have him as their new rep for Super Smash Brothers IV.

I love the design concept with Scrafty, it's really awesome.

Moxie is one awesome ability that it pulls off well, that's why I'm hoping Scrafty wins the poll. It even has a great movepool to go with it.

Go Team Scrafty!

For me, this isn't even a contest. Scrafty is my favourite Pokémon, and I find it much easier to use in battle. Zoroark's ability is really frustrating. Not to mention Scrafty gets moves like Dragon Dance and Hi Jump Kick. That, and the ability Moxie.

I make all of my Pokémon with Pokégen, a hacking program. If I'm using them in battle, they are all perfectly legal.

TOUGH. Man. You guys are really trying my tastes.

I'ma halfta go with Scrafty, though. He was extremely useful on my first Black run, and although I also love Zoroark's appearance, the cute little guy is great insurance and well designed.

I haven't used either of them as much as I've wanted to but because the majority are voting Scrafty I'll go with Zoroark, it has a nice design.

Zoroark is the mother of winning! I EV Trained a Timid Zoroark with max speed. (and only 1 point away from max Special Attack.) This Guy is an amazing Choice Specs user! My Favorite pokemon! I have the Zoroark C-Gear Skin too!

I, to this day, do not have a Scafty at all. I do imagine him singing the Pokemon Rap, though.

That was a tough choice ;_;. I liked both of them! D:

Anyway, I voted for Scrafty because of its coolness factor; it has pants and a hoodie, plus it has good set-up moves (Bulk Up and Dragon Dance) and a near-perfect STAB combination.

I also like Zoroark because while it has a pretty small movepool, it has good coverage and can screw with opponents using Illusion.

Zoroark doesn't have the best defense, and I've seen Scrafty sweep teams before. Even with the signature move & ability, Zoroark is my favorite due to her fox traits. But I determine these votes by battling, and to win, Scrafty by far. Fighting type moves is all Scrafty needs to KO Zoroark!

I'm not the biggest fan of Scrafty, but I did use one for a large part of my runthrough in Black and it did have its uses. Its typing is very cool, and it has some good moves and all... I just wish it would pull its trousers up! Also, Scrafty reminds me of Scarfy, so that's a plus!

Since I've never really used Zoroark and don't know enough about it to judge it on purely aesthetic grounds, I can't really vote for it even if I hated Scrafty.
