Attacker

Strategy & play

How Skarmory plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
  • Its main attack (Metal Claw) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
  • Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Metal type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.

How to beat Skarmory

  • Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Skarmory is real?

Skarmory is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
