Mega Skarmory#10284

Its greatest asset is Attack — higher than 98% of species. Weak point: Sp. Atk — lower than 87% of species. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 8 resistances and 2 full immunities. Poison and Ground-type moves do nothing to it at all.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack; weak point: Sp. Atk.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (140) is 100 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 92% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry

Its sturdy wings look heavy, but they are actually hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky.
