Skarmory [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This EX Delta Species Skarmory is built like a lone sentry, because its Poké-Body, Shining Horn, shuts off attacks from opposing Basic Pokémon as long as it is your only Pokémon in play.
In-Game
Skarmory debuted in Generation II as Pokédex #227, giving this card a direct link to Johto-era fans who remember the Armor Bird Pokémon joining Gold and Silver’s roster of new species.
Cultural Impact
Skarmory’s legend has always felt larger than battle stats alone, with modern Pokédex lore describing its shed feathers as sharp enough to be made into swords, which perfectly matches the card’s Steel Wing identity.
Set Lore
Reverse Holo copies like this one are especially beloved by ex-era collectors because Bulbapedia notes that EX Delta Species cards were also issued as Reverse Holofoils, a signature finish from the Holon-driven Delta Species period.
Artist
Illustrator Hisao Nakamura gives this Skarmory a hard-edged ex-era feel, and Bulbapedia credits him directly on the card’s original EX Delta Species printing.
