Well, some people asked me to do this, so here i come:
"Look at mah Emerald wings"
Emerald (Skarmory) (M) @ Rocky Helmet / Sitrus Berry / Safety Googles
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 Spe
Impish Nature
- Rock Slide
- Brave Bird / Iron Head
- Tailwind
- Protect / Roost / Taunt
Skarmory is a pretty solid mon in doubles, as Steel/Flying type is as good defensively as a Water Type. Skarm's typing alone allows it to check Mega Salamence, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Sceptile (IDK why i'm mentioning this), Landorus-T, Mega Mawile and Sylveon. It also has Tailwind support, which can help some teams to have some speed control and not be completely countered by rain teams. Rock Slide can do some heavy damage to Mega Charizard Y, Talonflame and Volcarona, meanwhile it can provide some flinches to slower mons. Brave Bird is a incredible move with 120 base power, but has recoil and may faint Skarmory when is down to 1 HP. Iron Head, on the other hand, provides a solid STAB move (80 BP) with a big chance of flinching and hits Sylveon for super effective damage. And for te 4th move slot, we have 3 options: Protect is a pretty staple move in VGC, as it gives you momentum, Roost gives you the recovery option to keep enduring physical hits. Finally Taunt checks other Tailwind / Trick Room users as well as it stops Protect mons to use that move. It also stop Perish Trapping and Follow Me strats.
The EV Spread allows Skarm to outspeed 0 Speed Suicune before Tailwind meanwhile it keeps its defensive qualities at their max, making Adamant Max Attack Kangaskhan unable to 3HKO Skarm with Low Kick (skarm doesn't weight that much).
Ok, there is a second set.....but first, think about all the things i did right and don't try to kill me. This isn't a troll set by any means, and it was throughly thought by me for 8 days, so don't blame me if this set at first glance looks like a gimmick or anything else. It just a set that i still try to make better and support it to make it viable in VGC at the very least. Ok, without further ado, here i come:
Emerald (Skarmory) (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 12 Atk / 84 Def / 68 SpD / 92 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Icy Wind
- Rock Slide
- Brave Bird / Drill Peck
- Iron Head
I know what you're thinking, and you probably want to kill me here in the spot inmediatly. The truth is, i never thought of this as a gimmick and i won't even think about it as a troll set. Is just an idea that i got recently, and i'm still trying to make it better.
AV Skarmory gives up all supportive moves for a little more of bulk, resisting Special Attacks and checking Sylveon harder thanks to the SpDef boost. Surprisingly enough, Skarmory can learn Icy Wind as it serves the Speed Control purpose (similar to Icy Wind Gyarados). Rock Slide, Brave Bird, Drill Peck and Iron Head serves exactly the same purposes than before, making Skarmory a little more offensive. The EV spread isn't a mystery, it can outspeed no-boosting nature Max Speed base 100 after a Icy Wind (made specially for Charizard) and it can 2HKO 0 Def 0 HP Zard Y with Rock Slide when spread damage and has a chance to OHKO when 1vs1. 84 defense was to give Adamant Kangaskhan little chance to 3HKO Skarmory with Low Kick. The rest was invested in Sp.Def for more general bulk.
Skarmory is obviously outclassed by almost every single Speed Controler, because they either are faster than Skarmory (Gengar) or they have better bulk (Cresselia, Togekiss, Zapdos, Suicune), so it isn't really used.
