Skuntank @ Choice Band
Ability: Aftermath
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Poison Jab
- Sucker Punch
- Pursuit

Choice Band Skuntank's amazing role compression makes it a fantastic choice on teams in need of a wallbreaker and revenge killer able to Pursuit trap problematic foes such as Musharna and non-Colbur Berry Jellicent. Moreover, it is capable of checking threats such as Stoutland one-on-one thanks to its ability, Aftermath, setting it apart from Choice Band Absol, which is also slower. However, Skuntank struggles against physically defensive Pokemon like Mudsdale, Regirock, and Gurdurr, which makes Victreebel and Swanna potent partners. In exchange, Skuntank traps problematic walls like Cryogonal, Bronzor, and Lanturn. Skuntank's Pursuit trapping ability is also greatly appreciated by Fighting-types like Primeape and Gurdurr. Lastly, Skuntank greatly appreciates Spikes support from the likes of Ferroseed, as its average Attack often makes it hard for Skuntank to perform its job well. For example, 3 layers of Spikes allow Skuntank to OHKO Ludicolo with Sucker Punch and 2HKO Leftovers Mudsdale.

Choice Band Skuntank's amazing role compression make it a fantastic choice on teams in need of a wallbreaker and revenge killer able to Pursuit trap problematic foes such as Musharna and non-Colbur Berry Jellicent. Moreover, it is capable of beating threats such as Stoutland 1v1 thanks to its ability, Aftermath.(it's not beating stout 1v1 if it dies in the process) However, Skuntank struggles against physically defensive Pokemon like Mudsdale, Regirock, and Gurdurr, which makes Victreebel and Swanna potent partners.(what does skuntank do in return?) Gurdurr is capable of dealing with the former two and appreciates Skuntank being able to Pursuit trap Psychic- and Ghost-types.(generalize this to pokemon that benefit from pursuit, giving a couple more examples, and move to after the first sentence) Lastly, Skuntank greatly appreciates Spikes support from the likes of Ferroseed as its average Attack often makes it hard for Skuntank to perform its job well. For example, Spikes allow Skuntank to OHKO Ludicolo with Sucker Punch and 2HKO Leftovers Mudsdale.(how many layers of spikes?)

Talk about why cb Skuntank should be used over defog skuntank and cb absol
