    please give me your opinions on this poke
     
    Skarmory is a defensive Pokemon, so Leftovers is probably the best item to give it (since it is part Steel and has very high natural Defence). As for moves, Toxic works well since it can survive many physical attacks, combined with Spikes for even more damage (and you can even poison several of your opponent's Pokemon for even quicker wins). I'd rather have Drill Peck over Steel Wing, since it's more accurate, but Steel Wing does rarely increase Defence, so it's not completely useless.

    It looks like a pretty average Skarmory to me. A single Flamethrower would probably be enough to take it down. It's not uber at all compared to..say.. my Kyogre with 394 Sp. Defense. Anyone who calls you cheap for using that pokemon is just making excuses cause they suck.
     
    Skarmory@Leftovers/Chesto Berry
    Nature: Impish
    EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Att/Sp.Def
    ~ Spikes
    ~ Roar/Whirlwind
    ~ Drill Peck/Fly/Steel Wing
    ~ Toxic/Rest/Protect

    Drill Peck and Whirlwind don't go together, keep that in mind
     
    I've been using steel wing skarm, and its useful only because some people expect drill peck and switch to a rock type. Another plus is you can use whirlwind over roar, but then I've yet to run into a loudred or mr. mime...

    What is with the rediculous "no skarmory" clauses that some people have on net battle??? Its not that hard to kill...
     
    People will complain about anything they can. And Steel Wing gets Aerodactyl, but I use counter for that. And for the CB Metagross that tries to overpower me. So it's something to consider, if you don't know what you wants besides Spikes/P-haze/Attack

    And Mr. Mime can take advantage of your having Skarm out and become a huge pain. If you still want flying, you could do...HP flying or AA, I suppose.
     
    No matter how you play. Except HP Ground that is. Magneton kills SkarmBliss. =/

    So yay for magneton.
     
    Chances are magneton would be faster than skarmory anyway.

    Depends if Skarm maxes speed, which apparently some of them do and definitely do in RS-only realm... they have the exact same base speed of 70 so...
     
    So Magneton allocates EVs elsewhere, takes the HP Ground, and still zaps the chicken anyways. =P

    Rock isn't much of a threat is Skarm has Max HP, Def +Impish. So Steel Wing would be useless.

    Not much of a threat. But Skarm can't do anything to them either. With a few Attack EVs at level 100, Steel Wing does anywhere from 30-45% damage to Aerodactyl, which is a big Skarm-counter. Rhydon takes about 25%, and Golem does also. It doesn't really matter what they can do to Skarm, but with Steel Wing, your opponent will have to find a new Wall, otherwise, their own Skarm counter goes down and you can continue to roxxors their boxxors ;0

    Probably not with the 4x weakness to Ground.

    If you put that many EVs into speed on Skarmory, then it's going to get KOed easily by something else than Magneton, since its tanking ability is significantly decreased.
     
    Precisely. Skarmory's evs are usually not allocated in speed, but Magneton's are. That's why I said chances are... =/

    ...what's it going to do, flinch hax it to death?

    My experience shows that Aero isn't a Skarm counter.

    But Forry is with Counter.

    Unless you run into the random FB Aero. *shudders*

    -HT
     
    CB aero would do considerable damage with rock slide, nullifying fire blast usually... o_o And there aren't too many steel wing skarms. Mostly, those steel wing ones are newb ones.
