Skarmory (エアームド, Eāmudo, Airmd in Japanese language versions) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Creature Description

Skarmory is an almost human-sized bird with a grey metal body and red wing plumes. The following information comes out of Pokédex entries throughout the RPGs: It is entirely encased in hard, protective armor, and although its wings look heavy, but they and the bones underneath are hollow and light, which allows it to fly freely in the sky at speeds of over 180 mph. The wings, which it uses to slash foes with sword-like cutting edges, become tattered and bashed in from its repeated battles, and once a year the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to their pristine state. The feathers that it sheds are very sharp, and people in the past actually used fallen Skarmory feathers to make swords and knives. It nests in bramble bushes so that its chicks grow hard from scratches made by the thorns.

In the Pokémon RPGs, it is one of the most effective Pokemon in terms of physical defense.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
