Skarmory (Japanese: エアームド Airmd) is a dual-type Steel/Flying Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Skarmory are tall birds with long necks and long legs. They have red feathers under sheaths that cover their very sharp wings. Their skin and feathers are hard because they live and are raised in very harsh conditions. Their nests are usually found in thorn bushes, where continual scratching of their skin will eventually harden it into an iron-like state. Skarmory, like most Template:Type2 Pokémon, are silver-gray except for their red feathers, yellow eyes, and metallic-blue neck, talons, and tail. Their feet both have three toes on them, two in front and one in back, and their tail has hooked ends. Skarmory also possesses a pointed, triangular crest on its head, and, although Skarmory are otherwise birdlike, several teeth in its lower jaw. Their wings are actually hollow, despite their appearance, allowing them to travel up to 190mph.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Despite being covered in extremely durable armor, they are also surprisingly swift in flight, and its feathers are sharp enough to be used as swords and knives.
Behavior
Skarmory are highly territorial and will attack anyone who threatens them. They also choose to build their nests out of sharp brambles. Skarmory's steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles, but once a year the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to a pristine state.
Habitat
Skarmory like to live in tough terrain, often near volcanic areas and large mountains. They always build their nests in thorns and brambles. This ensures their offspring's safety, as no other Pokémon can get near and their offspring's skin will be scratched until it is hard like its parents'.

In side games
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Skarmory can be found in Chasm Cave, Zero Isle West and Zero Isle South. However, as Pokémon can not be recruited in any of those dungeons, it is impossible to add Skarmory to the team under normal circumstances. Skarmory may still ask to join after completing a mission for it, such as in the one from the following Wonder Mail code:
- KN9@ =3YM K&N8
- H1X1 #TYF =07%
- Objective: Take item from Spiritomb on floor 12 of Crystal Crossing.
