Its Ability

Intimidating Fang

As long as Mightyena is your Active Pokémon, any damage done to your Pokémon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 10 (before applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Shakedown

40

Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 card from your opponent's hand without looking and discard it.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Intimidating Fang. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,826 tournament lists we have read, 877 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Ruby & Sapphire landed here on 1 July 2003.
