[OVERVIEW]

Subpar stats across the board leave Mightyena completely outclassed by Absol and Alolan Raticate, which sport far higher Attack stats and better Speed tiers. The aforementioned Pokemon also have access to Swords Dance and possess a more useful Dark-type STAB move in Knock Off. Mightyena's niche lies in attempting to revenge kill opposing pokemon to get Attack boosts from Moxie, but it does not do its job properly because it ends up being too weak to kill anything and it lacks the defenses to stay in for long periods of time.

[SET]
name: All-out Attacker
move 1: Crunch
move 2: Sucker Punch
move 3: Play Rough
move 4: Iron Tail
item: Life Orb
ability: Moxie
nature: Adamant / Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

This set attempts to hit as hard as possible in order to revenge kill weakened pokemon to achieve Moxie boosts, utilizing its STAB priority and coverage to attempt to beat checks. Unfortunately, Mightyena is outsped by a lot of offensive pokemon and relies too much on Sucker Punch as an attacking move, being unable to use its good coverage. Alolan Raticate, for example, is a much better Pokemon to use because it has Swords Dance, Hustle, Normal-type STAB moves, and a better Speed tier. It also can use a Z-Move so it doesn't need to beat opposing Pokemon to become an immediate threat. It is advised to use Alolan Raticate and Absol as offensive Dark-type Pokemon over Mightyena.

There isn't much going for Mightyena. Having subpar stats all across the board leaves it being completely outclassed by Absol and Alolan Raticate, which sport a way higher Attack stat and a better speed tier. (can also reliably set up with SD)(also better STAB with Knock)Mightyena's niche lies in attempting to revenge kill opposing pokemon to get attack boosts from Moxie but it does not do its job properly because it ends up being too weak to kill anything and it lacks the defenses to stay in for long periods of time. Why use Mightyena when Absol and Alolan Raticate do its job of cleaning better?(pretty pointless, remove)

This set attempts to hit as hard as possible in order to revenge kill weakened pokemon to achieve Moxie boosts, utilising its STAB priority and its coverage so it doesn't try to lose to its checks. Unfortunately, Mightyena is outsped by a lot of offensive pokemon and relies too much on Sucker Punch as an attacking move, being unable to use its good coverage. Alolan Raticate, for example, is a much better pokemon to use because it has access to Swords Dance so it doesn't need to beat opposing pokemon to become an immediate threat and sports Normal STAB and a better speed tier. It is advised to use Alolan Raticate as an offensive Dark (Dark-type)pokemon over Mightyena.

Unfortunately, Mightyena is outsped by a lot of offensive pokemon and relies too much on Sucker Punch as an attacking move, being unable to use its good coverage. Alolan Raticate, for example, is a much better pPokemon to use because it has access to Swords Dance, Hustle and use of a Z-m, (AC) Normal-type STAB moves, and a better Speed tier. It also can use a Z-Move so it doesn't need to beat opposing pPokemon to become an immediate threat and also sports Normal STAB and a better speed tier.

imo you should remove the first sentence because the fact that it has a pseudo analysis at all means there's not much going for it anyway
