From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Sceptile/Muk was a Pokémon Trading Card Game deck archetype that saw moderate success during the 2003-2004 season, though it had largely fallen out of favor by the 2004 World Championships, due in part to its relatively poor matchups against Blaziken-based decks and Gardevoir ex-based decks (such as RAMBO and Gardevoir/Magneton/Delcatty, respectively). Depending on the opponent's deck and the state of the field, Sceptile/Muk focused either on 1) locking down opposing Poké-POWERS and Poké-BODIES with Muk ex's Toxic Gas or 2) attacking the opponent with Sceptile ex while using a combination of the non-ex Sceptile's Energy Trans and Pokémon Nurse to prevent it from being Knocked Out.
