[quote name='Moxio']X: Is Skarmory really that good of a Pokemon? It looks kinda slow, and the only thing it really has going for it at all is its really high defense.
How about Togekiss? Or Aerodactyl?[/quote]Yeah, AFAIK it's considered as one of the best in the Flying class (aside from Legendaries and the Dragon/Flying combos) and a top-tier Pokemon. It's usually used as a Physical Wall because it can take the hits while handing out decent damage in return with few weaknesses.
The only problem I've ever had with Aerodactyl is that his Defense/Special Defense stats make it rather fragile. As long as it has the Speed advantage over the opposing Pokemon, it fairs well as an attacker.
Togekiss is good, especially since it has a huge movepool to choose from. Also, it's really hard to take down with just one or two moves. If you can use a move to boost it's Special Attack (i.e. Nasty Plot), then it can tear through a lot of Pokemon/teams. Even though it's previous evolutions stink, Togekiss isn't anything to sneeze at.
