Strategy & play
How Skuntank G plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Inflicts Poison — guaranteed chip damage every turn between turns (no coin flip). It stacks with your attack math to cross KO thresholds the attack alone misses.
- Its main attack (Smokescreen) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Psychic type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Skuntank G
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

About this card
Poké-Power: Poison Structure
Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have a Stadium card in play, you may use this power. Each Active Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) (excluding Pokémon SP) is now Poisoned. This power can't be used if Skuntank is affected by a Special Condition.
CCSmokescreen — 20
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.
Weakness:F×2
Retreat cost:CC

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Skuntank G is real?
