How does /vp/ feel about Mightyena? Is there a single interesting or fun set this thing can use or is it just a boring, mediocre all out attacker?

This
One of my favorite Pokemon, but I mostly just use it as a physical attacker.
It's pretty obvious that the mon just existed to give Team Magma and Aqua a weak, easy to beat Dark type, since it's a physical attacker in a gen where the physical special split didn't exist yet. It also learns barely any moves, and in Gens IV and V couldn't even learn Crunch. You had to level Poochyena up to 53 to get the move, which is pretty ridiculous.
>tfw I can't think of a single thing Mightyena brings to the table
Into the trash it goes.
I guess moxie + stab sucker punch is alright, but honchkrow does it better.

>make a hyena pokemon
>base it on the maned hyena
>still looks more like a wolf
Could be much better. Give it better stats and a larger physical-oriented movepool and you could have something decent.

>Bite Pokemon
>doesn't learn Crunch
>also doesn't learn Night Slash, Shadow Claw, or even fucking Pursuit
>gets Shadow Ball of all things
And people call Flygon the cuck Pokemon

Seaking is similar, just bring a load of attacks in because it can hardly do anything else, at least it gets lightningrod

It had it in gen 3 and got it back in gen 6. No idea why they'd remove it.

You can try a pseudo DDancer meme set with Toxic Orb Quick Feet + Howl/Crunch/Play Rough/Sugger or Iron Tail or a Fang or something. It'll probably never do shit but it's better than absolutely nothing.

>Tfw that's probably it's best set and it uses Howl and Iron Tail/unboosted Fang attack and badly poisons itself with 70/70/60 defenses and still gets outsped by Garchomp even with quick feet
JUST

>Seaking beats Mightyena in every stat besides Defense, which is only worse by five
Holy shit...

Cute Doggo.

It's an early rodent in all but type and species, like a real hyena it can only take on a dead opponent.
>>32807261
It is a bottom tier regional shitmon
I saw a physdef set once in XY. It was about as good as it sounds.
>>32807261
I like to play around with roar paired with a spike/toxic spike mon

something hilarious: Torracat has the same base stat total as Mightyena, access to all it's relevant moves and a better spread of those stats
once it's HA becomes available mightyena will actually be outclassed by a NFE

So what's mighty about it other than the disappointment?
