===Physiology===
Poochyena, as its name implies, is a quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar in appearance to {{wp|hyena}}s and canines. Its body is primarily gray with a black face and throat, paws, and belly. Its eyes are red with yellow sclerae, and it has a red nose. Its lower jaw has two pointed teeth sticking out. The fur at the base of its tail is rumpled and shaggy. Poochyena has gray paw pads on its three-toed paws.
Poochyena's body is gray, with black coloration on its face, feet, ear insides and underbelly. The coloration on its underbelly, however, is not entirely continuous, with the coloration on the throat being separate from the coloration on the lower belly. Poochyena's eyes have yellow scleras and red irises and its nose is also red. Two of Poochyena's fangs poke out of its lower jaw, and the fur on its lower back near its tail is rumpled and shaggy. On the bottom of its feet, Poochyena's paw pads have been seen to be gray. Poochyena's main coloration is swapped when it evolves.


====Gender differences====
Poochyena have a very keen sense of smell, allowing them to find and chase their prey with ease. It takes a bite at anything that moves and makes the hair on its tail bristle out to try to intimidate its foes. Poochyena's vigorous barking attempt at opponents embodies Poochyena's cowardly nature. Known for its tenacious nature, it chases after prey alongside the pack until the victim becomes exhausted. If its victim strikes back, then it may turn tail. It is omnivorous and will eat anything. This Pokémon lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands, savannas}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}.

{{main|Pokémon food}}
|evo1=
Poochyena is based on a wolf or a hyena, therefore, it is likely that Poochyena would be considered a carnivore. However, it has been seen eating Berries and other fruits, so this could indicate that it is an omnivore.

==In the manga==
[[File:Nana Poochyena.png|thumb|130px|Poochyena in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Nana}}
A Poochyena named Nana is first seen in {{adv|Ruby}}'s possession, one of the three Pokémon given to him from his father, [[Norman]], when he was very young. Even 5 years before the events of the [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|RS series]], Nana was shown to be a formidable battler, injuring a wild {{p|Salamence}} teaming up with [[Kiki]] and Rara, Ruby's {{p|Ralts}}. While it still hadn't evolved, Ruby saw few wild {{p|Mightyena}} that attacked {{prof|Birch}} and envied how splendid their fur looked. A few chapters down the line, Ruby would obtain his own Mightyena on [[Dewford Town]] when he met up with {{Steven}}, and Nana evolved together with Kiki, who touched the champion's {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. This new evolved form saw a furthering of Nana's abilities, allowing it to perfect its {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack.

Poochyena (Japanese: ポチエナ Pochiena) is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Mightyena starting at level 18.

Biology

Poochyena, as its name implies, is a quadrupedal Pokémon similar in appearance to hyenas and canines. Its body is primarily gray with a black face and throat, paws, and belly. Its eyes are red with yellow sclerae, and it has a red nose. Its lower jaw has two pointed teeth sticking out. The fur at the base of its tail is rumpled and shaggy. Poochyena has gray paw pads on its three-toed paws.

Poochyena have a very keen sense of smell, allowing them to find and chase their prey with ease. It takes a bite at anything that moves and makes the hair on its tail bristle out to try to intimidate its foes. Poochyena's vigorous barking attempt at opponents embodies Poochyena's cowardly nature. Known for its tenacious nature, it chases after prey alongside the pack until the victim becomes exhausted. If its victim strikes back, then it may turn tail. It is omnivorous and will eat anything. This Pokémon lives in grasslands, savannas, and forests.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Nana

A Poochyena nicknamed Nana is first seen in Ruby's possession, one of the three Pokémon given to him from his father, Norman, when he was very young. Even five years before Creeping Past Cacnea, Nana was shown to be a formidable battler, injuring a Salamence teaming up with Kiki and Rara. While she still hadn't evolved, Ruby saw a few wild Mightyena that attacked Birch and envied how splendid their fur looked. A few chapters down the line, Ruby would obtain his own Mightyena in Dewford Town when he met up with Steven, and Nana evolved together with Kiki, who touched the champion's Moon Stone. This new evolved form saw a furthering of Nana's abilities, allowing her to perfect her Hyper Beam attack.
