Mightyena

Description

Mightyena, cataloged as card number 114 in the 2024 Pokémon Trading Card Game set Twilight Masquerade, is an Uncommon Darkness-type Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Poochyena. This card brings a distinct tactical presence to the Darkness column with 120 HP and a retreat cost of only one Energy. Designed by artist kawayoo, this release allows collectors to add a strategic powerhouse to their Twilight Masquerade collection. The gameplay mechanics of this Mightyena card emphasize pack coordination and board control. Its first attack, Darkness Hunting Pack, deals 30 damage but offers a significant boost: if Mightyena is positioned on your Bench during play, the attack inflicts an additional 90 damage. This unique trait rewards strategic positioning, allowing players to keep their active Pokémon safe while dealing heavy damage from the sidelines. The second attack, DarknessColorless Corner, deals 60 damage and applies a strategic restriction, preventing the Defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn. This control element can be crucial for locking down an opponent's strategy or protecting your own active Pokémon. For collectors, the Twilight Masquerade expansion is a notable entry in the modern Pokémon TCG landscape. Card 114 stands out for its clear depiction of Mightyena's pack hunting instincts, reflected in the flavor text about the leader signaling the pack to move. The regulation mark H confirms its legality in the Standard format, making it a relevant piece for both competitive players and collectors building their Twilight Masquerade set. Whether you are focused on completing your set or seeking versatile Darkness-type cards, this Mightyena release offers both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth.
