Skuntank is a large, skunk-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fourth generation games. It is the evolved form of Stunky.

Information

Skuntank evolves from Stunky at Level 34. Similar to its previous form, Skuntank defends itself by spraying a vile-smelling fluid from the tip of its tail. They have a range of over 160 feet, and the fluid smells worse the longer it is allowed to fester. However, the stench dulls after several squirts. Skuntank is usually confused by attacks from above.
