Card 113

Poochyena is a Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, hailing from the Hoenn region. It is known as the Bite Pokémon, and true to its name, it has a habit of constantly nipping at anything it sees, testing its surroundings with its teeth. Poochyena evolves into Mightyena starting at level 18. These Pokémon are often found in packs, particularly in grassy areas and forests, where they hunt their prey. Their behavior is characterized by their persistent pursuit of prey, often exhausting it before the pack moves in for the final strike. However, if the prey retaliates, Poochyena and its pack are quick to flee, demonstrating a cautious and survival-oriented nature. In the games, Poochyena is an early-game encounter, helping new trainers learn about Dark-type Pokémon. In the anime, Poochyena occasionally appear as wild Pokémon, sometimes causing mischief or being part of a larger pack led by Mightyena. Its design, resembling a dark-colored hyena or wolf cub, has made it a memorable creature for many fans of the Hoenn region.
