Why Skarmory can have the ability Weak Armor?

Question

In Pokemon Ruby Pokedex we have this Data: Skarmory is entirely encased in hard, protective armor. But Skarmory has WEAK Armor as it's hidden ability. Why? (Perhaps is that only because it is the Dream World ability of Skarmory?)

Answer 1

Yes, I also a little bit confused why he have weak armor ability as hidden ability? But, in my opinion, that was just Game Freak Choice. Game freak just wanna to add more Pokemon with the ability of weak armor. Like do yo know Mega Punch and Mega Kick move? That was "punching" and "kicking" move and, it supposed to be fighting type move. But, the both we're Normal??? The answer is: That Was Game Freak Choice everyone keep saying that. Then, I got more and more confused. Because, many moves or ability doesn't match the shape of the Pokemon's body or the others..... And, I believed yes, that was the answer =========> That Was Game Freak Choice!!!

If You look at Skarmory's Design you will See its "Armour" is Like Plated Armour, When hit hard enough that kind of Armour Falls Off, Even though it doesnt have exactly Plated Armour that was most likely the reason that it was given the Ability.

Answer 3

Weak armor is just Skarmory's hidden ability. Pokedex entries usually have nothing to do with hidden abilities of Pokemon.
