Trainers looking to skip Poochyena and go straight to Mightyena are in luck because this Pokemon can be found in the wild too.

While its Pokedex entry states it lives in grass areas, Mightyena is a rare encounter in the wild. Thus, it may take some time before players find it.

Mightyena is found in the following areas:

• Wistful Fields
• Paradise Barrens (near grass)
• Kitakami Woods

How to evolve Poochyena into Mightyena

Fans who’ve trained a Poochyena in the past will be relieved to know its evolution method has not changed in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

To evolve Poochyena into Mightyena, simply raise it to level 18.
