How is it we're six generations in and we still don't have a fucking wolf Pokemon?

And no, Mightyena doesn't count. He's based on what hyenas are ACTUALLY like; cooperative powerful pack hunters, not the laughing cowards that popular culture portrays them as.

Wolves are, in fact, dogs. They look like dogs, act like dogs, and can breed with domestic dogs.

rounded snout is more like a hyena. The heavy fur on its neck is closer to the hyena's mane. The black fur is a change but not really wolf like either as they're not known for heavy luxurious coats.

It's a mix of animals, mostly cat with elements of dog, fox, and rabbit.

It being a dog makes the most sense, since dogs were bred to be highly varied depending on the breed, just like Eevee evolving into highly varied specialized evolutions.

Mightyena IS a wolf. That's why they have been hesitant in producing another. He covers the wolf/hyena/"wild dog" in general tropes.

If he doesn't look wolfy enough for wolfaboos just because he has "yena" in the name then deal with it. I guarantee the next wolf-like thing they make will look a lot less like a wolf than he does.

If I had to put a finger on it, it's like most Eevees, a mix of animals, but mostly rabbit.

Because fairies are associated with the moon, and it connects with the legend of the moon rabbit.

It might have some elements of cat because of the magical girl aspect.

I believe this is more likely based on this, the ears and pelt style match up more than with a generic wolf. Some traits could be mix and match though, it's not like other Pokemon are always 100% based on a single animal.
