Stunky (Japanese: スカンプー Skunpoo) is a dual-type Poison/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves into Skuntank starting at level 34.

Biology

Physiology

Stunky are small mammalian Pokémon that are dark purple with a white stripe running down their backs. Their faces have feline like features including the ears that may relate to Skunks being called polecats.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

It protects itself by spraying a foul smelling liquid from its hindquarters which lasts for twenty-four hours. This is a defensive tactic and not an actual attack which means it cannot be deflected.

Behavior

If threatened, they use their smell to deter would-be attackers. It is shown in A Secret Sphere of Influence! that Stunky does a handstand before and when it sprays like a Spotted Skunk.

Trivia

• Despite being based on a striped species of skunk, Stunky sprays from a handstand like a spotted skunk, as seen in the episode The Secret Sphere of Influence.
• Stunky's color palette was changed slightly in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to Skuntank, Registeel, Torterra, Chimchar, Glameow, Purugly, and Chatot.

Origin

It is based on a skunk, likely a hognosed skunk.

Name origin

Stunky's name comes from the words skunk or "stunk" and stinky. Skunpoo's name comes from the words skunk and pyoo, which is what someone says when something stinks.
