Skuntank G
Rotated OutA tricky Psychic type that disrupts the game board using special stadium conditions.
What this card does
It uses its Poison Structure ability to poison all active Pokémon if a Stadium card is in play.
It attacks with Smokescreen for 20 damage and may prevent the opponent's next attack based on a coin flip.
Poison Structure
Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have a Stadium card in play, you may use this power. Each Active Pokémon (both yours and your opponent's) (excluding Pokémon SP) is now Poisoned. This power can't be used if Skuntank is affected by a Special Condition.
This card shines when your child has placed a Stadium card on the field. The ability spreads poison to both sides, which can weaken the opponent significantly while also affecting your own active Pokemon.
Attacks
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.

Which deck it belongs in
It suits decks that include Stadium cards to trigger its special power. It works well in strategies that rely on status conditions rather than high damage output.
- •Board disruption
- •Stadium teamwork
- •Defensive utility
- •Self-inflicted poison
- •Inconsistent attack
- •Fighting weakness
The coin flip for the Smokescreen attack is a gamble, so do not rely on it to win every game.
Skuntank sprays a foul smelling liquid from its tail as a defence mechanism.
Explain that the stadium card is a required piece of equipment for this ability to work at all.
