In-Depth Analysis
Skarmory totals 465 across its base stats, profiling as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Lean on its Defense (140) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (40).
Defensively, the Steel, Flying combination gives Skarmory 8 resistances, 2 immunities, and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 25 makes Skarmory a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
