Provenance

Where it came from

The Mightyena card from the Kalos Starter Set was released in 2013 to coincide with the launch of the Pokémon X and Y video games. As part of a specialized introductory product, this set was designed to help new players transition into the updated mechanics of the sixth generation of the trading card game, which featured the introduction of the Fairy type and a renewed focus on accessible, balanced gameplay for beginners.

The card features artwork that maintains the aggressive, lupine aesthetic characteristic of the Mightyena species. Designed as a Dark-type Pokémon, the card emphasizes the tactical utility required in starter-level play, prioritizing simplicity and reliable damage output. While not considered a high-rarity collector piece, it remains a significant example of the era's transition toward the modern TCG layout and regional starter-themed releases.
