Skuntank V 181/195 · Silver Tempest

Skuntank is Pokédex #435, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Skuntank V is a Basic V Darkness Pokémon with 210 HP.

Skuntank V sits at 181/195 in Silver Tempest, position 181 of 215. Before it is 180 Skuntank V, and after it is 182 Magearna V. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on 11 November 2022. The printed size is 195. This checklist is longer, at 215 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Ultra.

The attack Pursuit Blast lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. If that Pokémon retreated from the Active Spot during your opponent's last turn, this attack does 120 damage instead. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Shrieking Poison is another attack lists 90 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused and Poisoned. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: V rule: When your Pokémon V is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. The regulation mark is F.

Skuntank (#435) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 11 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 is named Skuntank, while this one is Skuntank V. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 210 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Hiroaki Ito illustrated that card, and Jiro Sasumo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 10 other cards of Skuntank list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Jiro Sasumo. I count 29 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Silver Tempest set binder is where a full Silver Tempest set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Skuntank can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
