Skuntank (Japanese: スカタンク Skutank) is a dual-type Poison/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves from Stunky at level 34.

Biology

Physiology

Skuntank are medium sized mammalian Pokémon that are a dark purple with a white stripe running down their backs. Their cheeks are now not as large. However, their tails are much longer and are often laid out on their backs and over their face.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Skuntank are known for their noxious fluid which not only smells terrible, but is possibly flammable and explosive. It can spray this fluid over 160 feet. Unlike its pre-evolution and real-life Skunks, Skuntank spray this from their tail tip instead of the base.

It is likely that like Stunky, it uses its foul smelling spray to defend itself.

Origin

Skuntank is based on a hog-nosed skunk.

Name origin

Skuntank's name appears to be a combination of tank, skunk, and stank, the past tense of stink. Skutank is the same, just with one less letter. Its French name, Moufflair, comes from moufette and flair.
