How to Use Skarmory
Strong 1-Energy Attack with Tools
Skarmory’s Attack deals 50 damage for just 1 Energy if it has a Pokemon Tool attached, making it highly cost-effective. Even without a Tool, it still does 20 damage, making it a versatile small damage attacker.
Low Retreat Cost is a Plus
Skarmory only requires 1 Energy to retreat, which is quite useful. With 80 HP, it can also serve as an early-game wall in Metal type decks.
