Pokedex Entries
Game | Entry |
---|---|
Gold | Its sturdy wings look heavy, but they are actually hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky. |
Silver | After nesting in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns. |
Crystal | The feathers that it sheds are very sharp. It is said that people once used the feathers as swords. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
Heartgold | Its sturdy wings look heavy, but they are actually hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky. |
Soulsilver | After nesting in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns. |
Black2 | Its heavy-looking iron body is actually thin and light, so it can fly at speeds over 180 mph. |

Sun | Its feathers, which fall off as it grows, are thin and sharp. In times long past, warriors used them as swords. |
Moon | Its metal body is sturdy, but it does rust rather easily. So on rainy days, this Pokémon prefers to stay put in its nest. |
UltraSun | The wing feathers it sheds can be processed and made into knives whose sharpness is recognized by the finest chefs. |
UltraMoon | Its body is draped in steel armor. It looks heavy, but it can fly at speeds of up to 185 miles an hour! |
Sword | The pointed feathers of these Pokémon are sharper than swords. Skarmory and Corviknight fight viciously over territory. |
Shield | People fashion swords from Skarmory’s shed feathers, so this Pokémon is a popular element in heraldic designs. |
