Is the Skewb a Pyraminx?

The Skewb, invented by Tony Durham is a corner-turning twisty puzzle, consisting of 8 corner and 6 square center pieces. This puzzle is a Pyraminx shape-mod, working on the same 4 axes mechanism and this is why it was first called the Pyraminx Cube.

Is Pyraminx better than Skewb?

What is the God's number in Pyraminx?

The above table shows that the God's Number of the Pyraminx Duo is 4 (i.e. the puzzle is always at most 4 twists away from its solved state). Similarly to the total number of combinations, this number is very low compared to the Rubik's Cube (20), the Pocket Cube (11) or the Pyraminx (11, excluding the trivial tips).
