Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC brings back Generation 2’s Skarmory through the Blueberry Academy sprawling Terarium. Here’s how you can find it and catch it for yourself.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC brought back plenty of Pokemon that were first introduced in Gold & Silver.

Gen 2 Pokemon like Chinchou, Tyrogue, and Snubbul made a return through the Blueberry Academy, much to the delight of many old-school players.

This included Generation 2’s Steel/Flying-type Pokemon Skarmory. Trainers looking to catch this tanky bird for themselves can find more info below.

According to its Pokedex entry, Skarmory primarily lives in the Terarium’s Canyon Biome. However, it is only found on one of the towering spires throughout the Biome.

The specific spire is highlighted in the screenshot below:

Can Skarmory evolve in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?

Unfortunately for fans of the Armor Bird Pokemon, Skarmory did not receive a new evolution in Generation 9. That means that Skarmory is still lacking an evolution.

However, that doesn’t mean that Skarmory is without merit in battle. Thanks to its Steel/Flying type combination, it has only two weaknesses, two immunities, and several resistances.

Additionally, it boasts a fairly respectable 485 base stat total, which includes 140 base Defense. As such, Skarmory can serve as a solid tank while dishing out respectable damage.
