Biology
Skarmory is a bird-like Pokémon whose body consists of steel. Its body is primarily a silver color with red highlights under its wings. Skarmory's feathers are razor-sharp, being used by both warriors and high-end chefs as swords and knives respectively. In flight, Skarmory is capable of reaching incredibly high speeds.
Design & origin
Skarmory's name is a combination of "sky" and "armory".
