I’m finally back. After illness, lots of work and other things,
I am finally back to business, so let’s cut the chat and do our
thing.
Mightyena is underused, but it is now a little better than it
was a couple years ago. Its attack can be boosted to make it
deadly; you just need time and a little protection, or some
smart strategy.
The movesets for today are…
Annoyer.
Mightyena@Leftovers.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 129 Defense / 129 Special defense.
- Taunt
- Sucker punch
- Fire fang / Crunch
- Ice fang / Return
This one is very risky, but kind of fun once you got it working.
Use taunt with something that is not going to kill you, then use
sucker punch so you can hit first. The last two moves depend on
your strategies. This set also works with choice band if you
switch taunt for one of the offensive attacks.
Howler.
Mightyena@Leftovers.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Special attack / 6 HP.
- Howl
- Crunch / Facade
- Fire fang
- Rock smash
Another sweeping option. But you still need one turn to howl, so
predicting or forcing switches in double battler help this one a
lot.
Pros.
As I said before, it is better now than when we first met it,
unfortunately not enough. But if you are going casual this one
is very good, with both abilities.
Counters.
Steel, rock and fighting types are a big pain for Mightyena,
especially if you a looking for extra turns to boost. If you
find these, force switches or switch.
Bottom line.
You are going to have 3 reviews today, so let’s keep going…
Rating:
2.2/5
Hope you enjoyed.
