Description
SKARMADORY, the Herald Bird Pokémon. The metallic armor covering its body is hard as diamond, but its razor-sharp wings are lightweight and powerful, allowing it to fly at supersonic speed as well as carry off prey twice its size. It uses its knife-like feathers as well as its talons in battle, taking down its prey with rapid-fire precision. It was used as a weapon by ancient kingdoms, giving it the nickname "Warlord of the Sky."

Name Origin: SKY+ARMADa+armORY, with some hint of MatADOR and HeralDRY
Type: Steel/Dragon
Height: 11'5"
Weight: 273.5 lbs
Ability: Levitate (Levitate)
Evolution: Skarmy ---> Happiness ---> Skarmory ---> Level-up while holding Dragon Scale ---> SKARMADORY
Breeding Groups: Flying
Moves Learned: Same movepool as SKARMORY, but with added moves Razor Wind, Pin Missile, Iron Tail, Metal Claw, Whirlwind, DragonBreath, Screech, Night Slash, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rage, Psycho Cut, Dragon Rush, and Hyper Beam; notable TMs are Draco Meteor, Outrage, and Heat Wave

Base Stats:
HP: 85
Attack: 100
Defense: 160
Sp.Atk: 50
Sp.Def: 80
Speed: 100
TOTAL: 575

At long last, Skarmory's evolution gets its own Battledex profile! I'm really proud of this one, particularly because I managed to adapt the second version design and streamline it a lot. Note that I changed the name a little - by changing the position of two of the letters in "Skarmorday" (the original name), Skarmadory sounds so much cooler! (Also note that the name of each member of the family is two letters more than its pre-evo.)
Compared to Skarmory's movepool, Skarmadory's moves are relatively similar. However, being a Dragon-type, he does not get STAB from Flying-type moves anymore. However, he does learn DragonBreath, Dragon Pulse, and Dragon Rage naturally, and can also learn Draco Meteor and Outrage by TM. The Heat Wave is there to take care of Ice-types that try to take advantage of the Dragon-type, although the Steel-type may also help resist it; meanwhile, additional moves such as the Normal-type Razor Wind and Hyper Beam, the Bug-type Pin Missile, the Dark-type Night Slash, and the Psychic-type Psycho Cut are there to give Skarmorday an advantage over a wide variety of other types as well. And the Levitate ability takes care of Ground-types, pretty much the only weakness it has. So this dragon-bird can kick ass and take names any way it wants, and come out mostly unscathed.
While his stats are loosely based off Skarmory's, Skarmadory takes his balance from another final-stage Dragon-type, Flygon. Similar to Flygon, Aggron, and Haxorus, Skarmadory has stats that are lower than 600, but is depicted as being very powerful and has a diverse, strong movepool. The 80 HP is 5 higher than Flygon's 75 and 15 higher than Skarmory's 65; the 100 Attack is the same as Flygon's, but the 50 Special Attack is 30 less than Flygon's 80 (and only 10 more than Skarmory's 50) and the 80 Special Defense and 100 Speed are also the same (and 10 and 30 more than Skarmory's respective 70 and 70). The real whopper is the 160 Defense, which is twice as much as Flygon's 80, and closer to Skarmory's 140!
Overall, Skarmadory is one of my favorite Battlemon, and a worthy evolution to the Armor Bird Pokemon. While Skarmy is a mere squire, and Skarmory is a fierce paladin, Skarmorday is the absolute king of Steel-type perfection - definitely the kind of bird only advanced trainers can tame with minimum risk of injury!
