Trivia

• Skarmory is the only Pokémon that can learn Steel Wing by leveling up.
• Mew is the only non-dual type Pokémon that is able to learn Steel Wing.
  • Also, Mew is the only Pokémon that can learn Steel Wing who doesn't have wings. This is obviously because Mew can learn every existing TM moves.
