Drill peck problems

[Stalker of the Sky's]

I just got a Skarmory Lv. 50 EVs and all, and then found out that it can't learn drill peck. Is there at all anyway to get Drill peck without chain breeding?

 

[Expert Evan]

Unfortunately not, only through breeding with one that learned it like from a doduo/dodrio or spearow/fearow to name some.

Is there anything that can replace Drill peck. Ariel Ace by any chance?

 

[Expert Evan]

Skarmory can learn aerial ace but its 60 base power is less than drill peck's 80 base power which is why drill peck is preferred, and the TM for aerial ace is only one available per game.

You can go for HP (Flying) and try to get it as strong as possible by breeding, but I'm sure none of us would want to breed over and over again. But you can try it.

Well if the set is ingame and its the normal set with whirlwind over roar and you didn't want hp flying because it takes too long Air Cutter/Aerial Ace are perfectly okay... although if it becomes a major competitive team scrap it...

Yeah, it's for his battle frontier team. So he's pretty much stuffed?

You can get Drillpeck Skarm in Colleseum, other wise don't use
Aerial ace, Air Cutter does so much more..

If you don't wanna use your 'Ace TM, get a male Taillow/Swellow and level him up until he learns Aerial Ace (I know this because I have a female Swellow with it), then breed him to your Skarmory. Or get a male Doduo and have him learn Drill Peck. If those aren't possible, Air Cutter should suffice.

Oh... Fly works good wonders ingame because they won't switch to a rock or electric... but don't cry to me if you want to use it and the 5% miss chance kills you...

if you have pokemon colosseum you can snatch a skarmory with drill peck
