Poochyena 100% perfect IV stats, shiny Poochyena in Pokémon Go

This week’s Spotlight Hour focuses on Bite Pokémon, making it a prime time to catch Poochyena in Pokémon Go. While Poochyena and its evolution, Mightyena, are not standout Pokémon, they are worth noting for their specific attributes.

Poochyena and its evolved form, Mightyena, are rather unremarkable, having been overshadowed by other Dark-types since their introduction in Gen 3.

This event also introduces a double evolution XP bonus, allowing players to maximize their XP gains by evolving Pokémon quickly during the hour. Use Lucky Eggs to maximize the benefits.

Details about both Pokémon:

Poochyena – A cowardly dog Pokémon that hunts in packs.

Is Mightyena good in PVP?

Mightyena is not particularly strong in PVP. It performs poorly in most leagues, with limited effectiveness in Great League and no viability in higher leagues.

Mightyena’s moveset includes Sucker Punch, Crunch, and Poison Fang but lacks the bulk to be effective in most scenarios.

Tips for this Spotlight Hour

Make the most of this event with these strategies:

Use the double evolution XP bonus to level up quickly. Prepare two sets of Pokémon: one for evolving and keeping, and another for evolving and transferring.
If new to Pokémon Go, this is a great chance to collect enough Poochyena Candy for evolution.
Poochyena’s Dark-type nature helps progress your catch bonus medals.

Spotlight Hour events are brief, lasting only an hour (6pm to 7pm local time). Stay tuned next week for coverage on Golett with a double catch Stardust bonus!
