Nasty Plot Skuntank stinks up ZU as a premier stallbreaker! With its Poison / Dark typing, it threatens out premier walls such as Alcremie and Tangela and uses the free turn to set up. Corrosive Gas lets Skuntank punish walls it can't immediately threaten, such as Rhydon, Articuno, and Stunfisk, and can even punish offensive threats that try to double into it such as Klinklang and Sawk. Taunt is an option to shut down recovery from foes like Miltank and Pyukumuku. Skuntank cannot wallbreak successfully without a boost, so wallbreakers such as Sawk and Swords Dance Silvally formes help pressure opposing walls. It's also susceptible to Ground-types and Ground-type attacks, so teammates like Cramorant, Poliwrath, and Thwackey are appreciated. In return, Skuntank can beat the Grass-types like Tangela and opposing Thwackey that they all invite in.
