Stunky

**Stunky** (Japanese: **スカンプー** *Skunpoo*) is a dual-type {{Poison}}/{{Dark}} Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Skuntank starting at level 34.

## Biology

Stunky is a small, skunk-like Pokémon with dark-purple fur. Its face is large and rounded, with a narrow red nose, red-rimmed eyes, and two pairs of somewhat "V"-shaped cream-colored whiskers on the sides of its face. It has two pointed ears that appear red on the inside. A stripe of cream-colored fur runs along its back from the neck to the tail, with a small tuft protruding from the base of the neck. Its tail is raised high, and ends with spiked hair pointed behind it. It has a cream-colored underbelly, and four short legs, that end in paws with three small, white claws.

Stunky can spray a foul-smelling liquid from its rear in order to drive attackers away. The stench can be smelled from over a mile away, and will linger for around 24 hours.

## 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*.

### Origin

It is based on a skunk, likely a hog-nosed skunk. It also bears resemblance to a cat of some sort, which is fitting as baby skunks are called kits or kittens.

#### Name origin

Stunky is a combination of *skunk* or *stunk* and *stinky*.

Skunpoo is a combination of *skunk* and *pyoo* (what someone says when something stinks).
