    Default Revamp: Skarmory

    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:



    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.

    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.

    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...

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

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

    Missing just a couple of things, like I said in the Tropius thread. But thank you, you do not realize how much time this saves me.
