Skarmory is a silver-gray, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, metallic blue neck, legs, and tail. It has yellow eyes, a pointed beak with several pointed teeth, and a triangular crest on its head. There are red feathers under the sheaths that cover its sharp wings, and each feather can be moved independently. Its wings are actually hollow, allowing it to travel up to 185 mph (300 km/h). Its feet have three toes on them, two in front and one in back, and its tail has hooked ends. | Skarmory is a silver-gray, {{wp|Aves|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, metallic blue neck, legs, and tail.

Its steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles, but once a year the battered wings grow back completely. This process restores the cutting edges of its feathers, which are sharp enough to be used as blades and sharper than any man-made sword. In [[Generation V]], {{m|Steel Wing}} was its [[signature move]]. Its skin and feathers are solid due to being raised in very {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|harsh conditions}}. Its nests are usually found in thorn bushes, where continual scratching of a young individual's skin will eventually harden it into an iron-like state. However, water can cause Skarmory's hard body to rust easily, so it stays in its nest on rainy days. In ancient regions where these Pokémon are common, warriors would use the sharp feathers that fell off Skarmory as swords. It is a popular Pokémon that is used for heraldic designs, and in [[Galar]], it has violent territorial clashes with {{p|Corviknight}}. | Its steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles, but once a year the battered wings grow back completely.
