Strategy Overview
Mightyena has never been the best Dark-type in the lower tiers, having strong competition with other Dark-type such as Skuntank, Mandibuzz, and Liepard, but Mightyena has one thing going for it: Moxie. Although its base stats aren't that good, Mightyena is fast enough to outspeed a good amount of Pokemon in the tier, is strong enough to abuse Moxie, and has access to a powerful priority move in Sucker Punch. Sadly, Mightyena relies a lot on Sucker Punch because of its Speed, which makes it prone to being set up on by faster opponents such as Serperior, Scolipede, and Jynx. It also has problems with the popular Fighting-types in NU and lacks Pursuit to make the most of its typing. Despite that, the hyena is hard to stop when it gains an Attack boost, which makes it quite threatening.
