Mightyena (Japanese: グラエナ Guraena) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Mightyena is based on a wolf. Its body is a mixture of black and gray colored fur, with black coloration on its lower legs, clawed feet, and tail. Mightyena has dark, triangular streak patterns below its eyes, which have yellow scleras and red irises. Mightyena has rhombus-shaped ears with dark insides, gray paw pads, and noses that are depicted as either red or black in coloration. It has eyebrow-like extensions on its head from the black, shaggy "mantle" of fur on its back.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Mightyena defeat foes with perfectly coordinated teamwork.
Behavior
Mightyena tend to have a very loyal nature. In the wild, they are pack animals who follow an experienced leader. As a result, if they recognize that their Trainer is very experienced, they will obey orders without question. Mightyena gives obvious signals when it is preparing to attack, starting to growl deeply and then flattening its body. It chases down prey in a pack. Mightyena seem prone to howling atop cliffs before leaping down to apprehend intruders.

In the manga
Ruby's Poochyena, Nana, evolved into Mightyena in Dewford Town as the boy met up with Steven. With its increased strength and capacity for better handling advanced techniques such as Hyper Beam, it proved to become a force to be reckoned with, able to defend the boy against his powerful father Norman, and outdo Sapphire's Rono when it was attacked by surprise.
Before this, several wild Mightyena were seen being the Pokémon that attacked Professor Birch. The shiny gleam on their fur had the Contest-obsessed boy jealous.
