Sturdy, Careful/Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird/Taunt

Explanation of Set

Skarmory should lay Spikes to force the opponent to make a rather painful decision when switching in and out of the battlefield. Using Roost can wear out Life Orb userswhile keeping Skarmory up-to-shape for the next assault. Whirlwind is great against Pokemon such as Bulk Up Conkeldurr or merely shuffling for extra damage from the opponent landing on Spikes. Brave Bird ties it all together nicely with it being a high Base Power STAB move that handles threats nicely, especially Fighting-types such as Machamp and Scrafty. If you're deathly afraid of being set up on, Taunt may be a superior choice over Brave Bird to use on Skarmory.
