Few Pokémon bother with Skorupi’s aggression, toxins, and pincers, so they have few predators. Skarmory, a noted exception, carries off Skorupi by its tail. Skorupi hide when Skarmory fly overhead.

Skarmory do not hunt Drapion. Drapion never hide, and smash anything in their way with powerful claws. Many a fairy tale has an Ogre Scorp villian who wishes to eat innocent heroes.
