[OVERVIEW]
Poochyena is a mediocre Pokemon. Even with boosts, Poochyena cannot do any damage, is very slow, is easily revenge killed due to its poor bulk, and has a poor movepool to boot. Being heavily outclassed by Vullaby and Pawniard as a Dark-type is not doing Poochyena any favors as well. Since it lacks much offensive and defensive utility, Poochyena should never be used on a serious team.
[SET]
name: Z-Howl
move 1: Howl
move 2: Crunch
move 3: Play Rough
move 4: Fire Fang
item: Normalium Z
ability: Rattled
nature: Jolly
evs: 236 Atk / 36 SpD / 236 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
This set attempts to set up with Z-Howl, which gives it +2 Attack, after taking a Knock Off to boost its Speed via Rattled; however, due to Poochyena's horrid stats, it will be easily revenge killed and won't be able to do much damage or even have an opportunity to set up. Poochyena is fully outclassed by Vullaby and Pawniard both being premier offensive and defensive pokemon, especially the former, and providing way better offensive and defensive utility.
