My favorite Pokémon is Skuntank, so of course it's my favorite poison type Pokémon. I saw this fan artwork of this skunk Pokémon online and then it quickly became my favorite Pokémon. I used it a lot in various Pokémon games since. Its most interesting move is Flamethrower, it's impressive to learn a fire type move like that. I like how it's a skunk Pokémon with a tail that can shoot out poisonous projectiles, flames, and skunk spray like a real tank.

Its face looks kinda like a cat, which may be related to the fact that skunks are sometimes called polecats. But its facial cheeks are tan and looks like a pair of buttocks, it somehow also has a butt chin, and also when you look at it from below, it still looks like a butt. Pretty cool.

It also got a cool card that shows a Skuntank den. https://m.archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/a/a7/SkuntankVSilverTempest181.jpg

Unfortunately it hasn't appeared much in the anime series - I wish a protagonist had a Skuntank as a major party member. It would be cool to see.

Mine is Trubbish, I know a lot of people hate him because he's a prime example of the unpopular "Everyday object come to life, and that's the pokemon", but I just have a softspot for what's known as "Ugly Cute"

Where you take something that should be repulsive (In this case a trash bag), and make it adorable!

What makes Trubbish so adorable in your opinion? I wonder if we like Trubbish for the same reasons...

Why do we find anything adorable? He's just... such a cute bag of garbage
