Skarmory (Japanese: エアームド Airmd) is a Steel/Flying-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold/Pokémon LeafGreen

Its sturdy wings look heavy, but they are actually hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky.

Pokémon Silver/Pokémon FireRed

After nesting in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns.

Pokémon Crystal

The feathers that it sheds are very sharp. It is said that people once used the feathers as swords.

Pokémon Ruby

Skarmory is entirely encased in hard, protective armor. This Pokémon flies at close to 190 mph. It slashes foes with its wings that possess swordlike cutting edges.

Pokémon Sapphire

Skarmory's steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles. Once a year, the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to their pristine state.

Pokémon Emerald

A Pokémon that has a body and wings of steel. People in the past used feathers fallen from Skarmory to make swords and knives.

Name origin

Skarmory is a combination of sky and armory. Its Japanese and French names are likely based on air or are puns on armored. Its German name may be derived from panzer, meaning "tank", and the Latin root aero-, referring to air.

Skarmory has much in common with certain species of condor.
