Poochyena in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Nana

A Poochyena named Nana is first seen in Ruby's possession, one of the three Pokémon given to him from his father, Norman, when he was very young. Even 5 years before the events of the RS series, Nana was shown to be a formidable battler, injuring a wild Salamence teaming up with Kiki and Rara, Ruby's Ralts. While it still hadn't evolved, Ruby saw few wild Mightyena that attacked Birch and envied how splendid their fur looked. A few chapters down the line, Ruby would obtain his own Mightyena on Dewford Town when he met up with Steven, and Nana evolved together with Kiki, who touched the champion's Moon Stone. This new evolved form saw a furthering of Nana's abilities, allowing it to perfect its Hyper Beam attack.
