View source for Talk:Skarmory (Pokémon)

Pardon my lack of in-game knowledge, but should skarmory's lighting weakness be less than 400? 70 Sp. defense could be considered mediorce but not as to 400, right?

140 (Def) divided by 70 (Sp.Def) is 2. So the effectiveness of all special moves are doubled, compared to normal moves. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 01:00, 23 November 2005 (CST)

:Yes, that's correct. If a {{T|Fighting}} move does 30 damage, a {{T|Electric}} move of the same strength (after figuring effects caused by the stats of the attacking Pokémon) is used on Skarmory, it would cause about 120 damage.[[User:User142|User142]] 01:40, 23 November 2005 (CST)

==Tail==

Maybe I'm just crazy, but Skarmory's tail looks a lot like a bottle opener, like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Opened_Waiters.JPG. Does anyone agree with me and/or think this should be added to the physiology section? [[User:Zell65|Zell65]] 06:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

It kinda does. Not enough to be put in the Physiology section though. {{unsigned|Asujoll}}

I agree, and I think this should be at least noted somewhere. -Sabre_Justice

== Fanlist link ==

Geocities is permanently down, so that "Skarmory fanlist" link is completely useless. I'd remove it myself if the page weren't in lockdown mode. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 23:07, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Removed. --[[User:Hiroshiyo|Hiroshiyo]] 14:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==
Skarmory's name comes from Sky and Armory, as many agree, but Skarmory is possibly based on the word "Scar" as well, people. Skar is basically the same word when said, and if it was named Skymory then it would still have the same meaning as currently stated, so the difference of Skarmory must have the addition of "Scar".

My point being that it's name origin should mention scar as a possibility.

== Tail Changes ==

Is Skarmory's tail losing one of the blades between Gold and Silver and later games important enough to be added? --<i>--[[User:Valkyria|<span style="color:Purple">Valkyria</span>]]</i> <small>''([[User talk:Valkyria|<span style="color:Gold">Talk</span>]])''</small> 20:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== Appearance ==

It's head, neck, and chest rings make it look like an automobile's gear shift & boot (the wrinkly rubber covering the stick goes in).
:That's an opinion, and no it doesn't [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:58, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== Minor note about anime Pokedex ==

The anime Pokedex entry in the article uses the word "priors" which doesn't make sense. I'd edit it myself, but I don't watch the show, so I'll simply suggest that the correct word is probably "briers" and leave it to someone who actually heard the entry on the show to make the correction, if applicable. --[[User:The Almighty Doer of Stuff|The Almighty Doer of Stuff]] 18:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
