Known for its distinctive metallic plumage and sharp, blade-like wings, Skarmory is a formidable presence both in the skies and in battle. Its body is covered in tough, lightweight steel plates, which it sheds periodically. These shed feathers are so sharp and durable that they have historically been used by people as swords. Skarmory typically nests in mountainous areas, constructing its nests from collected fallen trees and branches, which it then reinforces with its own shed feathers. Its diet primarily consists of mineral-rich rocks and metals, which contribute to the growth and strength of its steel body. In the games, Skarmory is valued for its high Defense stat and access to entry hazards like Spikes, making it a common choice for defensive strategies. In the anime, it often appears as a strong opponent, showcasing its aerial prowess and resilient armor. Its unique metallic design and dual typing make it a memorable and iconic Pokémon, embodying both elegance and strength.
