skarmory. Good are not?
Is skarmory a good pokemon to have with you. Mine is at lvl 30 but we does ent have any good moves, his deffense is the only good thing i see in him. Am I missing somthing?
|
Only weakness is fire and electric. Spiker. Can use Whirlwind/Roar to force switches to hurt your opponent and use Toxic on your opponents entire team if it lives long enough.
It doesn't serve much of a purpose for in-gameuse in my opinion. It's more useful against human players. Competant human players. |
What kinna moves does he learn? Any relly powerful ones?
|
It's sole purpose is usually meant for spiking, which can be a ***** for your opponent later on when their Pokemon are low on HP. I don't think it has any powerful moves. Drill Peck with STAB is all that comes to mind right now. It's not really meant for attacking anyways...
|
Skarmory's only REAL weakness is against something like a magneton, since whirlwind won't work on one with magnet pull.
|
Yeah, Skarmory is best for indirect damage rather than attack. It's Defence is it's main strong point, being one of the highest in the game, combined with the Steel type for extra defence. For in game purposes, it's not the best thing in the world, but if you're fighting against a human player, try this:
Spikes Roar Toxic Drill Peck This is the standard move set for Skarmory. Drop 3 layers of Spikes (the most you can have), then use Toxic and Roar alternatively. If you find someone who can use a Super-effective attack (Fire and Electric), then switch to someone who can avoid/resist it, and throw Skarm back in when he's gone. A good choice for partner is any Ground type (for electric moves), a water type for fire moves, or anyone with a high Special Defence (Blissey is the most common partner for Skarm, although you'll have to wait for FR and LG before you can get one in game). EDIT: Magneton is probably the best anti-Skarmory, so be warned. I still have trouble in game, even with a 40 level advantage. Immune to Toxic, can't be Roared out due to Magnet Pull, and having Electric attacks to take down Skarmory in one hit (two if he's lucky). And of course, has a 4 x resistance to both Steel and Flying attacks. |
check the OPB (Overused Pokemon Battledex) soon... lol I was planning to do an entry on Skarmory today anyway since I did Blissey last night.
|
Were is it? Can you send me a link to the website?
|
It's in this forum mate. Check the Moveset and Strategy section :-)
|
O sorry..lol i havent sigured out this sight yet
|
I thought pseudohazing moves do work on Magnet pull, hmm. (hence every skarm uses roar on turn 1 of battle if sent out in 202 just to check for Maggy)
But Skarm is an uber annoying mon, and I mean, which mon doesnt have weaknesses? Magneton is one mon, and yes, skarm is weak to some other ones, but you just try to play well enuf to avoid the ones it's weak to :D |
Skarmories are pretty much immune to 3/4 things in game... if used right it ends up being very annoying. Anyways blaziken can take it out becuase its Fire/fight which are both super effective.
|
Flying resists Fighting moves, so Fighting moves are normal effect on Skarmory (but don't hurt too much because of his high Defence). Fire and Electric are the way to go for damaging Skarmory
|
Not to mention, no point to revive super old threads...
