Every Skarmory card

The short version

Skarmory has seven printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across five expansions — the earliest in Space-Time Smackdown and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Basic Metal-type Pokémon printed at between 80 and 140 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to five rarities — two Commons, one Uncommon, two Double Rares, one Super Rare and one Special Art Rare. The hardest to pull is the Special Art Rare from Wisdom of Sea and Sky, at about 1 in 307 packs, or 1,250 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 707 packs, which is about 12 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of six different packs. The most recent is Skarmory #039, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Metal Arms for 20+. The card’s own words: “People fashion swords from Skarmory’s shed feathers, so this Pokémon is a popular element in heraldic designs.” It has been drawn by six artists, PLANETA Yamashita more than anyone else with two cards.
