Skarmory as a Defender. Can be used as heavy defense and area denial or as a pseudo-allrounder to single out enemies and stick to them.
>Passive: Keen Eye
The Pokémon ignores accuracy/evasion altering effects and invincibility states. In addition, it detects Stealthed Pokémon in its vicinity.
>Basic Attack
The boosted attack throws enemies and grants Skarmory a small shield.
>Ability 1: Metal Claw
Lunges forward and deals damage. Next attack becomes boosted.
>Ability 1-1: Steel Wing
Lunges forward, dealing damage and reducing damage received for a short time.
Steel Wing+ increases Skarmory's movement speed after using this move.
>Ability 1-2: Whirlwind
Releases three gusts of wind that shoves enemies in a cone (like Snorlax's Block but ranged and lasts less)
Whirlwind+ makes the gusts of wind circle back and forth for its duration and increases the movement speed of allies that pass through it.
>Ability 2: Wing Attack
Strikes the target in melee range and leaves them unable to act for a short time.
>Ability 2-1: Metal Sound
Heavily slows enemies around Skarmory, dealing damage over time. Enemies that stay within range for 2/3 of its duration become unable to act for a short time.
Metal Sound+ also heavily reduces Sp. Def. of affected enemies.
>Ability 2-2: Spikes
Lays a trap of spikes in a large area. Each time an opposing Pokémon walks through, they take damage and are slowed. Spikes can be moved around by Whirlwind. Can store up to 2 uses.
Spikes+ allows you to store up to 3 uses.
>Unite Move: Armored Heist
Grants a shield to Skarmory as it lunges towards an opposing Pokémon, dragging them to where Skarmory moves (they take damage from AOE effects like Spikes and Venusaur's Sludge Bomb) and dealing small damage over time. This move lasts 3 seconds and is interrupted if Skarmory's shield is broken.
