Provenance

Where it came from

Skarmory first appeared in the Sun & Moon base set, released in 2017 as part of the initial wave of the seventh generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant shift in card aesthetics, introducing the larger HP values and GX mechanics that would define the era. The card itself represents the Armor Bird Pokémon, reflecting the metal-typing mechanics that emphasize defense and durability within the game's broader tactical landscape.

The artwork for this particular Skarmory was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, whose work has defined the visual identity of the Pokémon franchise since its inception. Sugimori’s design for this card focuses on a sharp, metallic aesthetic that emphasizes the creature's steel-feathered physiology. As a common card in a massive expansion set, it was designed primarily for accessibility and deck-building utility, offering players a standard metal-type inclusion that fits the set's thematic transition into the Alola region.
