[[File:Skuntank opening tail tip animated.png|thumb|left|<!-- As this is an animated PNG, please do not turn this into a thumbnail by determining a specific set image size! -->Skuntank opening its tail tip]]
Skuntank is a medium-sized mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a skunk with the face of a cat. It has purple, spiky fur with several tan stripes. The whiskers present on its pre-evolution have since vanished or have been replaced by furry purple tufts on the sides of Skuntank's face. Its legs are tan, and the tan coloration of its underside now forms a spiky pattern. Its nose is larger than its pre-evolution. Its massive tail with a cream colored stripe, sits on top of its back and head.

Later, the two had a rematch at the [[Spear Pillar]] where Barry's fully evolved {{p|Empoleon}} put up a much stronger fight and defeated Skuntank.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
Line 485: Line 511:


===Origin===
===Origin===
Skuntank is based on a {{wp|hog-nosed skunk}} and a tank. Its appearance and notoriety of being incredibly foul-smelling is a trait also similar to the {{wp|honey badger}}. Its stylized tail bears similarity to a {{wp|Pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}, a hairstyle that is commonly associated with Japanese delinquents. It also bears similarities to {{wp|cat}}s. Its face resembles the form of buttocks. Its learning {{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}} as well as its ability {{a|Aftermath}} is likely derived from {{wp|gas bomb}}s, flatulence or skunks releasing all of their musk at once if hit by moving cars. Its name, the ability to learn the move {{m|Flamethrower}} naturally, and the way it shoots up projectiles from the tip of its tail in front of its body may be derived from {{wp|tank}}s and expands on warfare theme from {{p|Stunky}}'s {{wp|gas bomb}}s.
