>>45730487>>45732118Ttar gets chipped down by spikes/rocks over the course of the game, sometimes latios can just muscle through spdef ttar and get to a situation where it can 2HKO it. Doubly so if its the calm mind dragon gem set and can just blast spdef chople tar from 70ish to nothing.
Also, it traps starmie which would normally 2HKO defensive ttar. And yes, AV ttar can theoretically do the same thing in these situations, but scarftar also offers the utility of: >being able to double/lead in to stuff like volcarona, terrakion, and garchomp to surprise and OHKO them
>revenge killing stuff like outrage-locked dragons>can switch into gliscor and lando, sponge the eq, and OHKO them with ice beamIs spdef tar better? Of course that's why its used more. But scarf is far from unviable.
