Skuntank, the potent Poison/Dark-type Pokémon, made its impactful debut in Generation IV, evolving from Stunky and quickly establishing its unique presence in the Pokémon world with its notorious scent. This specific card, #55/106 from the 2014 Flashfire set, is a common variant that beautifully showcases the Pokémon's power and the early XY era's distinct art style.
Read more ↓Skuntank, the Skunk Pokémon, is a Poison/Dark-type introduced in Generation IV. It is the evolved form of Stunky, evolving at level 34. Skuntank is known for its potent and foul-smelling spray, which it can emit from the tip of its tail, reaching distances of over 160 feet. This noxious fluid is not just a defensive mechanism; it's also used in hunting and marking territory. Skuntank primarily inhabits urban areas and forests where it can find ample prey and suitable den sites. Its diet mainly consists of insects and smaller Pokémon, which it subdues with its suffocating stench. In the Pokémon anime, Skuntank often appears as a formidable opponent due to its powerful odor and aggressive nature. Its dual typing of Poison and Dark makes it a unique threat in battles, granting it resistances to several common types while making it vulnerable to Ground-type attacks. Skuntank's design is clearly inspired by real-world skunks, emphasizing its distinctive black and white (or purple and cream, in its Shiny form) fur pattern and its reputation for a pungent defense. Despite its notorious smell, Skuntank plays a role in the ecosystem, much like its real-world counterparts.
