Strategy Overview
Poochyena has many difficulties to face when trying to find a spot on a team. It not only has terrible stats, but also sports a largely unimproved movepool that limits its possibilities. Its one bright spot is its decent ability, Quick Feet, which allows it to outspeed many threats when afflicted with a status condition. That bright spot isn't nearly enough to make Poochyena decent, and it should never be seriously considered for a teamslot.
