# Skarmory (盔甲鸟) (Chinese) #0705 — Gem Pack Vol.5 (宝石包 VOL.5)

## Summary

Skarmory arrived in mainland China in April 2026 as part of Gem Pack Vol.5, a Simplified Chinese release with its own gem-tier rarity marks. This copy carries the single-star mark, which sets it apart from bulk pulls without making it a chase slot. The art catches the steel bird mid-swoop, wings swept back and beak wide open, in a Metal-type silver frame with a red-and-grey palette. Fans have prized this Johto wall for its defensive bulk since the early games. The modelled guide sits at $1.64 with 1 copy traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
