[SET COMMENTS]
Stunky is a potent offensive Pokemon that compresses a strong STAB Knock Off, STAB priority in Sucker Punch, and a grounded Poison-type into a single team slot. Temper Flare allows Stunky to hit Steel-types like Pawniard, Tinkatink, and defensive Tera users like Mienfoo for super effective damage, and its secondary effect synergizes well with Gunk Shot and Sucker Punch, lessening the need for prediction. Substitute is an alternative option that allows Stunky to block status from Foongus or Snubbull and scout defensive Terastallizations from Snubbull and Mienfoo. Maximum Speed investment and a Jolly nature are invaluable for allowing Stunky to outpace metagame staples like Mienfoo and non-Choice Scarf Snivy, as well as Speed tying with Gastly. Tera Dark gives Stunky a stronger Sucker Punch on teams in need of speed control, while Tera Poison provides more defensive utility against foes like Mienfoo and boosts Stunky's strongest move, Gunk Shot.
Stunky's role as a grounded Poison-type means it goes well with teams that use Snubbull as a Fighting resistance or a non-Glimmet Stealth Rock setter. Stunky also has offensive synergy with Vullaby, as the pair of strong STAB Knock Off users can heavily pressure defensive cores. Stunky cannot reliably break through Mudbray, so it appreciates teammates like Eviolite Gastly and Snivy that can switch into it and threaten it.
