How to Beat Skarmory (Mt. Steel)

Defeat Skarmory in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team using Fire, Electric, or Rock-type moves, exploiting its Steel/Flying typing weaknesses.

Type: Steel/Flying
Weaknesses: Fire, Electric, Rock
Resistances: Normal, Flying, Grass, Psychic, Bug, Dragon, Steel, Fairy (2x), Poison (0x), Ground (0x)
Common Moves: Steel Wing, Air Cutter, Agility
Strategy: Skarmory is encountered at the end of Mt. Steel. Its Steel/Flying typing gives it many resistances but also several key weaknesses. Prioritize using Fire, Electric, or Rock-type moves. If your starter or partner is one of these types, they will be invaluable. Consider bringing a Pokémon like Pikachu (Electric) or Charmander (Fire) if you have them. Skarmory can boost its speed with Agility, so try to lower its stats with moves like Growl or Tail Whip if you have them. Keep your HP high with Oran Berries, and don't be afraid to use a Reviver Seed if a team member faints. Focus fire on Skarmory to take it down quickly before it can overwhelm your team.
