Skuntank is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 40. In the Pokédex this is Skuntank (#435), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Stunky. In this catalog that name is Stunky (#434).

Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Skuntank (#435) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Skuntank 15/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Hiroaki Ito illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 11 other cards of Skuntank list a different HP.

Evolutionary Gas is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), when you play Skuntank from your hand to evolve 1 of your Active Pokémon, you may choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon. If that Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, that attack does nothing. The attack Poison Claws lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Plunder is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Before doing damage, discard all Trainer cards attached to the Defending Pokémon. Weakness is Fighting +20. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Stormfront, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Stormfront set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Skuntank can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
