Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Body Press
- Spikes
- Roost
It may not be OU, but Skarmory thrives in UU! Due to its great physical bulk, Skarmory serves as a phenomenal physical wall and Spiker in UU, dealing with threats such as Lokix, Excadrill, and Zarude lacking Bulk Up. Brave Bird is key in matchups against Hydrapple and Sinistcha, while Body Press is used against Excadrill and Ogerpon-C. Spikes wears down the opposing team, which is phenomenal against Cobalion and Ogerpon-C. Rocky Helmet lets Skarmory accrue chip damage against Lokix, Donphan, and Revaroom. The listed EV spread enables Skarmory to outspeed Hydrapple. Tera Dragon allows Skarmory to have great matchups against Thundurus-T and Rotom-W. Skarmory lays down entry hazards for its team, so Pokemon with Knock Off such as Tyranitar, Tornadus-T, and Zarude can help to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from Keldeo, Fezandipiti, and Donphan. Special walls such as Gastrodon and Clodsire can help to deal with special attackers such as Greninja, Thundurus-T, and Rotom-W. Both examples also have an Electric immunity, which helps against the latter two foes. Wallbreakers such as Latios, Zarude, and Ogerpon-C appreciate Spikes weakening their checks in Tyranitar and Cobalion.
