Ok imagine you can have a skarmory which can learn any move that there is. Maxed out EVs most in attack and sp.defence what moves would you teach it? Please tell me.

..........This belongs in General Pokemon discussion IMO. And skarmory only needs to learn what it already has to be effective:


Skarmory @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 196 HP / 36 Atk / 252 Def / 24 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Drill Peck / Hidden Power [Flying]
- Roar / Whirlwind
- Rest / Taunt
- Spikes

More like:

Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers ** Metal Bird
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 240 HP / 56 Atk / 196 Def / 16 Spd
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Flying]/Drill Peck
- Rest
- Spikes
- Whirlwind/Roar

Rest is cooler than Taunt it gives him more tanking power. He can already phaze away stat-uppers.

Thats why I included both as options. Taunt can be cool at times too. Mainly for sleep powders and from keeping Snorlax (if thats the last pokemon your opponent has) from cursing. Stopping stuff like Umbreon is painful as well (I know from experience ._.)

I guess, but you know Snorlax is easily handled if it doesn't run Shadowball, which I have seen happening lately.

Plus I posted that one because your EVs were wrong it needs 331 HP.

Skarmory doesn't get anywhere near 401 HP, what are you talking about?
No matter wether Snorlax runs Shadow Ball or not, it is going to own Skarmory if it's the last poke, as Skarm can't p-haze it.

Taunt doesn't exactly stop Lax from setting up, since Skarm then won't have Rest in which case it is going to take continuously damage from Body Slam/Return, so it will eventually get killed, before Lax gets killed by Drill Peck.

Btw, standard chaosbreon has 222 Spd (stat), which outspeeds Skarm, unless Skarm has the following EV spread (which it SHOULD have if it has Taunt): 132 HP / 192 Def / 184 Spd.

For standard Skarmory, 196 HP / 36 Atk / 212 Def / 16 Spd / 48 SDef is the way to go, imo.

My bad, lol. It has 331 HP.

I was talking about other pokes can kill it, like McIceGar if it doesn't run Shadowball.

not IMO. 196 Gives it max lefties and more room for 252 Def. It doesn't really need all that much attack anyway =/.

edit: And I honestly never found a use for that much speed on Umbreon. I mean Taunting spikes is nice n' all, but I use Donphan for that. Someone needs to enlighten me.

Umbreon needs 222 Spd (224 Spd EVs iirc), to outspeed max speed adamant Tauntar, that will otherwise switch in on its Mean Look, Taunt it, setup and sweep a whole team. k, you can switch out to Donphan or w/e DDtar counter, but Umbry will be dead weight on the team, as TTar can just switch in and out, making it useless if you can't outspeed it.

ITs where you Rock Slide a Rhydon expecting a Salamence to take the EQ, then the Rhydon laughs at you for doing so then just EQs you back.

you have a heracross out and they have blissey. you know that they have zapdos so you know they will switch to zapdos to take a focus punch/brick break. so you rock slide on the switch and be like 'stfu zapdos you got pooned'

also the coolest skarmory is metal sound, pursuit, rest, whirlwind
