#98 Skarmory - Team Up (sm9)
Skarmory is a Metal-type Pokémon with 110 HP, featured in the Sun & Moon series' Team Up set, released on February 1, 2019. Its design is attributed to artist kirisAki, and it corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 227. The card includes two attacks: Calm Strike, which costs one Metal and one Colorless energy to deal 20+ damage, and Steel Wing, requiring two Metal and one Colorless energy for 90 damage. Calm Strike’s effect increases damage by 70 if the GX attack has been used, while Steel Wing grants a defensive boost, reducing damage taken by 30 during the opponent’s next turn. Skarmory resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and is classified as a Rare card. Its flavor text describes a sturdy metal body prone to rust, prompting it to avoid rain by staying in its nest.
