Mightyena (Japanese: グラエナ Guraena) is a Dark-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Mightyena is based off of a wolf. Mightyena's body is a mixture of black and gray colored fur.

Gender differences

None.

Behavior

Mightyena tend to have a very loyal nature. If they recognize that their trainer is very experienced, they will obey orders without question. Mightyena live in packs led by a dominant Alpha Male and his mate. These wolf-like Pokémon use a number of vocal sounds to communicate with each other over a distance. When a scout sights prey, it alerts the pack with a loud howl. The pack divides into two groups for the hunt, one chasing the prey to a specific point, and the other jumping out in an ambush.
