Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A is part of the Lumiose Pokédex at #216. Skarmory brings Steel and Flying typing into Lumiose and its Defense stat is the strongest part of its base spread. Rather than treating Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A as another generic Pokédex entry, the useful part is seeing how those pieces work together inside Z-A’s much faster battle system.
This guide keeps the focus on how Skarmory fits into Pokémon Legends: Z-A: its typing, matchup profile, base stats, Z-A move pool and any Mega Evolution that can be verified for the game. For Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A, those details matter together because Z-A uses real-time battles instead of the traditional turn structure, making movement, timing and the shape of a Pokémon’s stat line part of the same picture.
Is Skarmory in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Yes. Skarmory is in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and is registered as #216 in the Lumiose Pokédex. That places Skarmory directly in the main Lumiose collection rather than making it a Pokémon that only exists outside the game.
Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A Type and Weaknesses
Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A is Steel and Flying. That typing determines which attacks can punish it most heavily and which matchups naturally give it more breathing room.
Skarmory is weak to Fire and Electric. Those are the attack types that deal super-effective damage, so they are the clearest threats to account for when Skarmory is on the field.
On the other side of the matchup, Skarmory resists Normal, Flying, Psychic, Dragon, Steel, Fairy, Grass, and Bug. It is also immune to Poison and Ground. That gives its typing some matchups where switching or positioning it well can be much safer than simply looking at raw stats.
Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A Stats
Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A has a base stat total of 465. Its standout base stat is Defense at 140, while Special Attack at 40 is the lowest part of its stat line. That spread gives a much better picture of the Pokémon than the total alone.

For Skarmory, the shape of the stat line matters. Attack clearly outweighs Special Attack, so its natural offensive numbers lean physical. Its Speed sits in the middle of the spread rather than defining the entire Pokémon.
How Skarmory Fits the Pokémon Legends: Z-A Battle System
For Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A, the important part is how that stat shape translates into Z-A’s real-time battles. Z-A changes the context around Skarmory because battles happen in real time.
Skarmory Pokémon Legends Z-A Moves
The current structured Z-A record does not expose a reliable game-specific move list for Skarmory, so this guide does not substitute a move list from another Pokémon game.
Can Skarmory Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
No Z-A Mega form is currently verified for Skarmory in the structured game data used by this guide. That does not stop Skarmory from being useful in the real-time battle system, but there is no Mega form included here just because the species has unusual forms in another Pokémon title.
Is Skarmory Worth Using in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
There are concrete reasons to consider Skarmory: a standout Defense stat of 140 and dual typing that creates a distinctive matchup profile. None of those automatically makes it the best Pokémon for every battle, but they give you real reasons to build around the species rather than judging it by name recognition alone.
The useful question is less whether Skarmory has the biggest number on a spreadsheet and more whether its typing, stat shape and available moves suit the way you want to play. Z-A rewards timing and positioning in a way the traditional turn-based games do not, so two Pokémon with similar totals can still feel very different once their real battle tools are taken into account.
