Poochyena is a Dark-type Pokémon (National Dex #261) with a low stat total of 220. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack at 55, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Poochyena takes super-effective damage from Fighting, Bug, Fairy. It is completely immune to Psychic. It resists Ghost, Dark. Its ability options are Run Away, Quick Feet, Rattled, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Poochyena evolves into Mightyena (18). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Poochyena has 44 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (12), BDSP (32) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Poochyena ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
