In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 479, Skuntank plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is HP at 103, while Special Defense (61) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Poison, Dark combination gives Skuntank 4 resistances, 1 immunity, and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Skuntank in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
