MetaMons competitive notes
Skarmory is a steel/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 465 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 70) and a physical attacking profile. Its Keen Eye ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Skarmory. Build around what Skarmory actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
