'''Sceptile/Muk''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that saw moderate success during the 2003-2004 season, though it had largely fallen out of favor by the {{TCG|2004 World Championships}}, due in part to its relatively poor matchups against {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Blaziken|3}}-based decks and {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Gardevoir ex|96}}-based decks (such as {{TCG|RAMBO}} and {{TCG|Gardevoir/Magneton/Delcatty}}, respectively) | '''Sceptile/Muk''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that saw moderate success during the 2003-2004 season, though it had largely fallen out of favor by the {{TCG|2004 World Championships}}, due in part to its relatively poor matchups against {{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Blaziken|3}}-based decks and {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Gardevoir ex|96}}-based decks (such as {{TCG|RAMBO}} and {{TCG|Gardevoir/Magneton/Delcatty}}, respectively). | ||

Many decks of the era relied heavily on Poké-POWERS and Poké-BODIES, so ''Toxic Gas'' could greatly hamper an opponent's strategy.
