I know that it is an egg move, but I can't seem to figure out how I get a breeding partner for Skarmory that knows Stealth Rock since it's only in the flying egg group. So how can I breed it with a Pokémon that knows stealth rock? What Pokémon do you guys breed it with?

In Gen 4, Skarmory and Aerodactyl (who can breed with Skarmory) can learn Stealth Rock by TM. In B2W2, ORAS, and USUM, Skarmory, Aerodactyl, and Archeops also get the move by tutor. To get Stealth Rock as an egg move, you have to breed Skarmory with Aerodactyl, Archeops, or another Skarmory that learned Stealth Rock by TM or tutor in one of these games. But if you have one of the games with tutors, it’s easier to just teach it to Skarmory that way.

Stealth rock is a tutor move in BW2 and ORAS.
Pokemon names are singular and plural.
@sumwun I honestly don’t know how I missed that.

@Polteageist Pokémon names are like LEGOs. I know that the plural form of LEGO is supposed to be LEGO, but that’s not going to stop me from calling them LEGOs. It just sounds more natural.

In Generation 9, specifically S/V, Skarmory can only be taught the move Stealth Rock through the use of TM116. This item can be found a) in South Province (Area Five), atop the large plateau, and b) via the TM Machine for 5,000 LP, 3 Rolycoly Coal, and 3 Rockruff Rock.

In Generation 8, specifically SwSh, Skarmory can only be taught the move Stealth Rock through the use of TR76. This can be obtained from the Watt Traders for 3000W. According to Bulbapedia, Watt Traders can be found in the following locations:

  • Meetup Spot
  • East Lake Axewell
  • Dappled Grove
  • Giant's Seat
  • Bridge Field
  • Hammerlocke Hills
  • Giant's Cap

In Generation 7, specifically SM, Skarmory can only be taught the move Stealth Rock through breeding. Compatible parents can be found here. In USUM, Skarmory can additionally learn Stealth Rock via the Move Tutor at Heahea Beach on Akala Island for 8 Battle Points.

In Generation 6, specifically XY, Skarmory can only be taught the move Stealth Rock through breeding. Compatible parents can be found here.

In Generation 5, specifically BW, Skarmory can only be taught the move Stealth Rock through breeding. Compatible parents can be found here. In BW2, Skarmory can additionally learn Stealth Rock via the Move Tutor in Nacrene City for 10 Green Shards.

In Generation 4, specifically DPP, Skarmory can only be taught the move Stealth Rock through TM076. Roark gives you this TM after you beat his gym in Oreburgh City.

In Generation 2 and 3, specifically GSC and RSE, Skarmory cannot be taught Stealth Rock, since the move did not exist yet, so if you want your Skarmory to have that move, you need to move it to a different game.

Skarmory did not exist in Generation 1.

Why are you giving information for the parents for Gens 8 and 9? Seems incredibly pointless.
@Amethyst I added the things for BW2 and USUM, but not for ORAS because I only did mainline games.

@HT I mentioned that because I wanted to mention that if someone really wanted the compatible parents to have those moves they could transfer it from gen 8 or 9 to gen 5-7, not realizing that you couldn't do that. idk how to get it on those compatible parents in those specific gens :/
