This is the best way to do damage with this thing. Ghost + Fighting is neutral coverage on everything. Last 2 are filler. Mightyena's movepool sucks.

- Mightyena's movepool is absolute shit. So is it's special attack. But this can catch some physical walls off guard. Hidden Power Fire hits Steel types. HP Ice can be used for Murkrow, and HP Grass can just be used on Graveler, etc.
- The last 2 moves are filler because Mightyena gets nothing better. Toxic can be used for walls, Taunt can be used to force a switch, same for yawn. Set up with Substitute until Petaya and try to sweep. Hint: TRY.
