[SET COMMENTS]
Skarmory's huge physical bulk and valuable defensive typing allow it to check common physical attackers like Mega Lopunny, Kartana, Weavile, and Dragonite. Its immunity to Toxic and Spikes further accentuates its defensive capabilities, making it a very resilient wall. Aside from granting Skarmory an adequate offensive presence, Iron Defense + Body Press lets it beat and contest with Attack-boosting foes like Mega Scizor, Garchomp, and Kingambit that attempt to break past it. Rocky Helmet punishes the physical attackers it’s tasked to check, notably Mega Scizor, Mega Lopunny, and Landorus-T's U-turn and Great Tusk and Excadrill’s Rapid Spin. Tera Dragon allows it to check Mega Swampert, Urshifu-R, Victini, and non-Dragon Claw Mega Charizard X better at the cost of being weaker against Weavile and Garchomp. Skarmory fits on defensive builds, ranging from balance to stall. Special walls like Garganacl and Hippowdon are necessary to cover threats like Dragapult and Volcarona that would exploit Skarmory's poor special bulk. Hippowdon is an exceptional partner, as it also deals with foes like Zapdos, Tapu Koko, Mega Charizard Y, as well as mixed attackers like Mega Diancie and Iron Valiant. Moreover, they form an entry hazard-stacking core with Skarmory by providing Stealth Rock and spreading further chip damage with Salt Cure, Toxic, and sand to slowly crumble the opposition. Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Iron Hands, Annihilape, and Zamazenta are a few physical attackers that Skarmory can struggle with; Toxapex, Clefable, Tornadus-T, and Skeledirge, respectively, help handle them. Its inability to threaten Gholdengo can be covered by teammates like Kingambit and Clodsire. Late-game cleaners or bulky setup sweepers like Mega Lopunny, Volcarona, and Gholdengo appreciate Skamory's Spikes chipping down their checks like Great Tusk, Garganacl, and Kingambit, respectively; Gholdengo also prevents most entry hazard removal attempts due to its typing and Good as Gold.

Skarmory's huge physical bulk and valuable defensive typing allow it to check common physical attackers like Mega Lopunny, Kingambit, Weavile, and Zamazenta. Its immunity to Toxic and Spikes further accentuates its defensive capabilities, making it a very resilient wall. Aside from granting Skarmory an adequate offensive presence, Iron Defense + Body Press lets it contest with Attack-boosting foes like Kartana, Mega Scizor, Garchomp, and Mega Mawile Kingambit that attempts to break past it. Skarmory is also a valid Spiker due to matching up well against common entry hazard removers such as Great Tusk, Excadrill, and Landorus-T, as well as outlasting other ones like Rotom-W and Tapu Fini. Rocky Helmet punishes the physical attackers its tasked to check, notably punishing pivot attempts from Mega Scizor and Mega Lopunny and Rapid Spin attempts from Great Tusk and Excadrill. Tera Dragon allows it to check Mega Swampert, Urshifu-R, Victini, and non-Dragon Claw Mega Charizard X better. Skarmory fits on defensive builds that ranges from balance to stall. Special walls like Chansey, Garganacl, Clodsire, and Hippowdon are necessary to cover threats like Tapu Koko, Iron Valiant, Gholdengo, and Heatran that would exploit Skarmory's poor special bulk. They also form a hazard stacking core with Skarmory by providing Stealth Rock and spreads further chip damage with Toxic, Salt Cure, and sand to slowly crumble the opposition. id mention hippowdon here by itself due to hipposkarm being like top 3 best defensive cores rn Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Iron Hands, and Annihilape if u play passively enough idt ape is a problem but id be fine with keeping it are a few physical attackers that Skarmory can struggle with; Toxapex, Clefable, and Tornadus-T, respectively, help handle them. Late-game cleaners or bulky setup sweepers like Mega Lopunny, Volcarona, and Gholdengo appreciate Skamory's Spikes chipping down thier checks; notably, the latter prevents most entry hazard removal attempts due to Good as Gold and its typing.
