**To use Skarmory Mega effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Steel/Flying type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Skarmory Mega appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Skarmory Mega fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Stalwart, Skarmorite and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Iron Head, Brave Bird, Protect, Tailwind, Swords Dance, and Rock Slide. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Skarmory Mega has important weaknesses to electric 2x, fire 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Sinistcha, Garchomp, Sneasler, Incineroar, and Milotic appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
