Known for its tenacious nature, Poochyena is often depicted as a mischievous and persistent Pokémon with a keen sense of smell that allows it to track prey tirelessly. They typically live in forests and grassy areas, hunting in packs. In the anime, Poochyena are often seen as wild Pokémon, sometimes causing trouble but generally portrayed as loyal once befriended. Their diet primarily consists of smaller Pokémon and berries found in their habitat. In the games, Poochyena is one of the first Pokémon players encounter in the Hoenn region, making it a memorable early-game staple. Its Dark typing gives it an advantage against Psychic and Ghost types, while being vulnerable to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy moves. Poochyena's design, resembling a young wolf or hyena, contributes to its popularity, embodying a blend of cuteness and wildness that appeals to many fans.
