>Mabostiff’s 80/120/90/60/70/85 mogs Mightyena’s 70/90/70/60/60/70b
>Both have Intimidate, but Guard Dog is far better than Quick Feet and whilst Stakeout and Moxie are both good Mightyena’s middling speed screws it over
>Similar movepools and overall niches
>Whilst Poochyena evolves 12 levels earlier, Maschiff’s 60/78/60/40/51/51 is far better than Poochyena’s 35/55/35/30/30/35 and Mabostiff doesn’t fall anywhere near as much meaning it isn’t a sunken investment
>Arven’s Mabostiff has a story role that will make it more memorable in the long term
Sorry hyenabros, hopefully Carmine using one is a ray of cope indicating a cross-Gen for your bro.
