So...anyone else dislike Skarmory?

[IMAPisWashedUp]

Seriously, all it does is prolong the game .

Oh, and hi Chris!

[Sir Chris]

I agree, skarmory really is annoying and does nothing but prolong games, totally agree, find it almost uselesss on my regular teams, heh. Thankfully my trusty zapdos r0x0rs it

and hi IMAP

[jet1213]

eh, i disagree. I think skarmory has its places.

Its a great curser/pseudo-hazer from what i remember. Great defence, only 2 weaknesses etc

i dont have a problem with it.

problem is not many people bother with curse since now they know raikou & FB lax & champ area s common as blissey. Plus, hardly anyone uses baton passing anymore.

Skarmory can get to be a pain; but like Jet said, Skarm is still a good choice, even with other good pokemon choices around.

Good to use if you're feeling evil and want to make battles longer than need to just as well.

[titandude21]

Skarm gets annoying by stalling only if it has the support around it (cough blissey + a few others cough)

[MetalScyther]

skarmory seriously sucks imo..if you want a defensive structure, carefully combine resistances of other pokemon to make one as a team instaed of relying on something, or atleast use a forret or something cuz it can spike/explode.

oh yeah, and skarmory can't attack worth **** besides hera

[Pokefan Stock]

skarmory really isn't that bad ;/

Some GSbotters take it way too harshly ;x

If you want to ban skarm, why don't we ban all curselaxes and belly laxes. And hell, why not all physical attackers?

GSbot Skarmory [skarmory without certain move..] can easily be owned by kangaskahn and the like ;[ and i'm not trying to start this into a GSbot V Netbattle war. I would still be using GSbot as much as NB if I could...

[GotMiltank]

How would it become a gsbot vs. netbattle war? o.O

Anyways, skarm = krap. It can take a hit, but that's it. It ain't good for much else. Tis annoying, yes, but not really a threat.

[Sir Chris]

GSbot skarmory has toxic stock :O

[Leon-IH]

Skarmory has only one thing going for it.. defence, however it has 2 weaknesses to a pair of the more common spcl atk types (Fire, Electric) infact im yet to see a team without 2 or more skarm counters so i dont think its too bad.. GO FIREBLAST LAX!!

my point exactly

[GotMiltank]

NBskarm must be invincible then

Urm...

[SupremeChampion]

i personally find skarmory very annoying, but that's because i don't use it. i'm sure that if i did it would have it's place and be very useful.

[Sir Chris]

I wonder if someone could actually explain to me the use of skarmory, if any, outside of a defensive whore. I mean really now, if all it can do is justpurely defensive then it has no use in the game. I know g/s/c is defensive, but for god's sakes, yu have to kill the opponent's pokemon to win. This is still a myster to me today ;\

Then Raikou
Then Suicune
Then Magikarp

hey, im kinda back/was never gone but just didnt post. you know, that sorta thing

[Pokefan Stock]

Assuming The pariah hates and doesnt skarmory, he now gets owned by curselax, which he now hates.

Can't you somehow see a cycle? ;/

Can't you somehow see a cycle? ;/

so? his preference

[GoldDraconian]

Skarmory is a nuisance, nothing more. It eats a lot of physical attackers, but if you have a problem you can easily give most of them Fire Blast or, for great justice, SURPRISE THUNDER. It's most problematic when involved in an affair with Blissey, but there are a number of ways, both overused and underused, to stop that combo.

Isn't Magikarp already banned? At least, Splashkarp?
