The best moveset for Mightyena depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Bite (Fast) with Crunch (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Mightyena has 5 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Mightyena can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Dark typing provides useful matchups against Psychic, Ghost, Dark-type threats while being weak to Fighting, Bug, Fairy types.
In Master League, Mightyena faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
