Poochyena

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poochyena is a small, quadruped hyena-like Pokémon. Its scruffy, unkempt fur is mostly gray in color. It has dark gray fur on its face, underbelly, and paws, as well as inside its pointed ears. It has a long snout, a red nose, and red eyes with yellow scleras. It has sharp fangs, which it bears when angered. 
===Behavior===
Poochyena is an aggressive Pokémon that will bite at anything that moves. It is tenacious and persistent. It intimidates its enemies by bristling its fur and will relentlessly chase its prey until the victim becomes exhausted. But if its prey strikes back, it will display cowardice by running away.. Running from aggressive Poochyena will only encourage them to begin chasing. Instead, attempting to intimidate them by staring them down and feigning lunges is a far more effective tactic. As the saying goes, they are “all bark and no bite.” They will cower and flee when confronted, even when against smaller or weaker foes. Though Poochyena bare their large fangs against all attackers, they will only pursue things that they believe they have scared. They will become submissive towards those who appear unfazed by their displays, often running away with their tail between their legs. 
===Natural Abilities===
Poochyena has a very acute sense of smell that allows it to track down prey. It is extremely tenacious and relentless when it comes to hunting. 
===Diet===
Being an omnivore, it is known to devour anything.
==Evolution==
Poochyena evolves into Mightyena at level 18.
