Revamp: Skarmory

[ImmunityBow]

What CAN be revamped:
- Movesets (TMs and levelsets) - For TMs, please post the existing list even if you're making no changes, it makes my job much easier.
- Abilities
- Egg Moves (POST WITH FATHERS, PLEASE)

What CANNOT be revamped:
- Base stats

We're doing Skarmory in this topic.

Getting these out here because they're needed for the demo.

Only real updates that I can see for Skarmory are maybe tweaking the move levels, and changing the abilities on Skarmory itself.

I can see either Aerodynamic or Iron Will taking the place of one of Skarmory's abilities.

Sturdy only protects from OHKOs, right? Not updated to the Gen 5 version where any fatal attack leaves 1 HP, right? If so, I'd rather change this one; Keen Eye is ok enough to stay, so I'd replace Sturdy with Aerodynamic. It's fitting since Skarmory seem very aerodynamic, and are very fast for steel-types. It could give it the boost it needs to be great (Even though Skarm is pretty awesome to begin with).

Of course, if Aerodynamic would be to OP on Skarm, Iron Will is a suitable alternative.

And for IB's sake, here's the current TM list for Skarmory:

05 Roar
06 Toxic
10 Hidden Power
11 Sunny Day
12 Taunt
15 Hyper Beam
17 Protect
20 Safeguard
21 Frustration
22 Solar Beam
27 Return
32 Double Team
33 Reflect
37 Sandstorm
40 Aerial Ace
41 Torment
42 Facade
43 Secret Power
44 Rest
45 Attract
46 Thief
47 Steel Wing
52 False Swipe
53 Focus Sight
55 Endure
56 Windwhistle
69 Calm Wind
72 Initiative
73 Magnet Blast
75 Sleep Talk
78 Substitute
79 Rocket Punch
80 Orion’s Sword

and the already posted egg moves:

Drill Peck
Pursuit
Sky Attack
Ancientpower
Mirror Move
Whirlwind

I don't like Aerodynamic on Skarmory, since it's really clunky looking. I think the consensus was to update Sturdy.

Thanks for the information we do have though.

[NyteFyre]

ok, whatever works. I don't mind the sturdy update, though it's really annoying to fight. Hmm...No comments on Iron Will?

Earthen Armor could be a stretch, seeing as Skarmory's hard metal skin is the result of absorbing hard metals as a Skalloy...Maybe. That and Element Shield are the only other viable options for Skarmory. In the end, we may as well just keep what he have, upgrade Sturdy to Gen V standards, and send it on it's way.

Also, you're welcome, IB.

[locknessjohnson]

can the move Steel Wing be added as an egg move since its kind of its signature move? and also is brick break going to be in this game? because if it is i think that skarmory deserves a move that can help it out against other steel types...

[Noog]

Skarmory learns Steel Wing by level-up and TM anyway, so adding it to the Egg Move list is a bit redundant.

[Silver]

can skarm learn metal claw?
IT NEEDS METAL CLAW AS AN EARLY STEEL MOVE!!!

[ImmunityBow]

Now that I look at it, Skarmory was basically done when Skalloy was. So I guess all this needs is a writeup.
