Skarmory
Oracle Text
Attack Roost: Heal 50 damage from this Pokémon. During your next turn, this Pokémon can't retreat.
Attack Metal Claw (60)
Card Details
Character Background
Skarmory in Neo Genesis is a clean example of a tempo-oriented Basic Metal Pokémon that rewards steady pressure while making combat awkward for the opponent. Attack Claw is the straightforward option, delivering 20 for a low commitment, but the coin flip means it is best used when you are already ahead or simply need a cheap opener. Steel Wing is the more interesting attack: 30 damage plus the chance to reduce all damage done to Skarmory next turn by 20 can buy critical time, especially against decks that lean on efficient, incremental attacks. In play, Skarmory fits best in a control-tempo shell where you aim to stall, trade efficiently, and force unfavorable math. Pair it with Energy acceleration or retreat support so you can keep recycling it after the damage reduction turns matter. Its Metal typing also suggests pairing with other durability-focused cards to maximize annoyance and keep the pressure on.
