Skarmory

Edit
Share

Skarmory (Japanese: エアームド Eaamudo) is a Steel/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Skarmory resembles an ostrich clad in steel armor, with long, sharp-taloned legs and a head that looks like wearing a steel helmet covering its beak. Though not so aerodynamic and seemingly heavy in size, a Skarmory can still fly, which is proved by its ability to use the HM Fly and the fact that it flies during its appearance in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue rescue team.

Evolution

Skarmory does not evolve.

Appearances

Mystery Dungeon series

Skarmory appears as a the first boss in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team & Blue Rescue Team, blaming Diglett and his family because of the recurring earthquakes. He then kidnapped Diglett and brought him to Mt. Steel. If you win, after the battle Skarmory will Fly away and you won't be able to find that Skarmory again.

Trivia

  • Up until the introduction of Celesteela, no other Pokémon had the same type combination as Skarmory.
  • Skarmory has the highest Defense of all Flying type Pokémon.
  • Back in Generation II, Skarmory had two tails.
  • According to game sprites, Skarmory has had a lot of design changes. In Gold and Silver, it had a full gray body until Crystal, where it had purple-gray armor and dark red feathers. From Pokémon Ruby to Pokémon LeafGreen, it had plain gray armor and red feathers. From Pokémon Diamond to today, it has light gray armor with scarlet feathers.
  • In Generation II, Skarmory was a counterpart to Mantine. Both were dual-type Pokémon with the Flying-type as their secondary type. Both are also version exclusives in Gold & Silver and have the same capture rate and BST. Mantine has a learnset of mostly special moves and Skarmory has a learnset of mostly physical moves. Ever since the introduction of Mantyke, the main similarities were broken.
  • Skarmory is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Etymology

  • Skarmory is a mix of sky and armory.

Origin

  • Skarmory seems to be based off of a pterodactyl or a condor. It also seems to be based off of a Alicanto (an ancient bird made of hard metals and rocks like gold) or a Stymphalian Bird (a bird of Greek mythology that had steel-like talons).
