Wild Zone 17 is a risky area as it is mostly open grounds where several wild Pokemon make an appearance. It is recommended to visit this location at night when other mob groups like Pyroar remain inactive. Simply walk into the Wild Zone and then keep moving along the paved walkway to the left. Go up the stairs, and you should be able to spot Skarmory flying above the elevated park area.

Take a left again and climb the ladder near the building, while avoiding the Pyroars, to reach higher ground. You can choose to avoid being detected on the rooftops or simply take down the wild mobs present at the top.

In case this does not work out, Skarmory will spot you after you have used the Quick Balls. It will approach you, and this is where you will need to defeat it in a battle. It can be difficult to beat due to its higher level, but the process becomes easier if you target its weaknesses:

• Fire
• Electric

The capturing part after the battle can be tedious, as you might need to attempt it multiple times. But it will eventually result in a successful catch, and the game will notify you with a banner that Skarmory has been registered.
