Team Skull, as shown in an issue of Corocoro.

]Team Skull is a villainous team from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness. It consists of Skuntank, Koffing and Zubat. The team is frequently antagonistic against the player's team over the course of the game.

When they are first encountered, only Zubat and Koffing are present, hiding behind a pole at the Wigglytuff Guild. When they appear next, both attack the partner, steal the Relic Fragment, and run off into Beach Cave. Following them, the partner demands the Relic Fragment, but Koffing and Zubat refuse. A battle commences between both groups. Upon Koffing and Zubat's defeat, the Relic Fragment will be returned, and the enemies go running off.

Later, the head of the team, Skuntank, arrives, and proves to be exceptionally tough and clever. Team Skull attempts to earn their way into the Guild's exploration, in order to later turn on them and take their treasures. When Chatot assigns the player and partner to pick up Perfect Apples, Team Skull beats them to the location, eats all the apples, and easily knocks out the player's team with Skuntank and Koffing's "noxious gas combo". Upon returning to the guild, Chatot is very unhappy with the player's failure, refusing to hear the explanation about what happened, and the player's team is sent to bed without dinner as punishment. Skuntank then presents Wigglytuff with a Perfect Apple, and is made out to be the hero.

During the Guild exploration, Skuntank and Koffing try to knock out Wigglytuff, but Wigglytuff ends up taking them out instead. After the expedition, Team Skull wanted to get revenge on Wigglytuff, but they realize they are no match for him. Later, Zubat proposes that they target the player's team, since they are "wimpy". Skuntank agrees and a few days later, Team Skull steals the Marill brothers' Water Float and puts it in the deepest part of Amp Plains, hoping that the player's team will be attacked by the Luxio tribe there.

During the final part of the main story, the player's team goes to Brine Cave with the Relic Fragment to gain access to the Hidden Land. Toward the end of the cave, Team Skull appears and steals the Relic Fragment once again. However, they are ambushed by a group of Omastar and Kabutops. After these fossil Pokémon are defeated, Skuntank ends up giving the Relic Fragment back to the player's team.
