The Skunk is a Tier 4 Pet, available in the Turtle Pack. At the start of battle, the Skunk will reduce the health of the highest health enemy by a percentage of its total health, rounded up. Leveling up the Skunk will increase the percentage number that the enemy's health is reduced by.

Strategy

Skunk is an anti-scaling pet that forces the enemy to build a well rounded team with multiple high stat pets instead of putting all their eggs in one basket. It shines best when matched against teams with a single beefy enemy such as Bison Monkey teams. At level 3, Skunk will instantly cripple an enemy down to 1 health, and effectively allow the rest of the pets on your team to clean up afterward.

It should be noted that Skunk's ability is incapable of directly knocking out an enemy and will always need follow up damage to defeat them. This can be problematic against defensive food perks like Melon that may allow the originally high health enemy pet to still get one or multiple attacks off. Pairing Skunk with snipers like Dolphin or even Mosquito can mitigate this issue and eliminate the problematic enemy immediately. Stacking multiple Skunks with Chili is another strong strategy that can wipe out a full scaling team.

If you're running a scaling focused team, there are next to no counters against Skunk beside just scaling more pets. Though as powerful as it is, Skunk is extremely ineffective against summon teams and teams that gain stats as the battle progresses, such as Camel or Shark combos.
