While defeating Skeletron may be very difficult at first, I was able to defeat him very, and I mean very easily using a full set of meteor armor and the space gun. Trust me, this is the BEST way to defeat him.

Immediately after summoning Skeletron, run away from the dungeon and get to flat land as soon as possible, then just constantly jump over his attacks and rapidly fire at both his hands with the space gun. Once you defeat both his arms, just slowly back away from his head as you fire straight at it with the space gun.

While it may not be as effective since it's a melee weapon, the blood butcherer helps a lot with this fight, too.
