Shining Horn is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Skarmory is the only Pokémon you have in play, your opponent's Basic Pokémon can't attack. The attack Cry for Help lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for a Metal Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex), show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Steel Wing is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Skarmory by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Delta Species, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Delta Species set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Skarmory can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
