If it has sunshine and water, it doesn’t need to eat, because it can generate energy from the leaves on its back.

Skiddo Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Skiddo isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Gogoat to unlock its full potential. At 350 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Run Sap Sipper on Skiddo. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Skiddo also gets Grass Pelt, but they don't compare.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Skiddo fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 65 Attack). At base 52 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Skiddo does the job early-game if you need a Grass type on your team. Evolve it into Gogoat before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.
Game Availability
Introduced in X & Y, Skiddo has appeared in 6 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
