Strategy Overview
Skuntank is often overlooked in favor of its more defensive Dark / Poison counterpart, Drapion, or more powerful Dark-types like Absol. However, Skuntank has a few unique qualities that set it apart, most notably its access to Explosion and an odd but awesome Speed stat. With base 103 HP, Skuntank also lacks the utter frailty of the other offensively oriented Dark-types in UU. Then when Skuntank does go down, its ability, Aftermath, does 25% damage to the attacking Pokemon if it KOed Skuntank with a contact attack. These factors, coupled with Skuntank's neutrality to the Fighting-type attacks commonly carried by fragile Psychic- and Ghost-types, allow it to reliably switch in on and KO these Pokemon. Skuntank's ability to absorb Toxic Spikes, take down faster threats with Sucker Punch, and explode on enemy walls makes it a useful and unique addition to any UU team.
