Normal Abilities: Intimidate, Quick Feet
Hidden Abilities: Moxie

Pros:
Both Moxie and Intimidate are already good in their own right, plus Quick Feet can help it outspeed some of the threats running around right now.
Gaining Trailblaze and Nasty Plot can help Mightyena become more viable than it used to be.

Cons:
It still has pretty low base stats than a LOT of Pokemon in the game, not really being considered "threat worthy" to be considered all that good competitively
It still doesn't get access to a bunch of setup moves as it JUST got Nasty Plot in BDSP

EVs: 252 ATK / 4 Sp. Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch

Just one of the builds that could POSSIBLY help give this pooch some viability in maybe 1 metagame? who knows?

Nasty Plot Sweeper (Mightyena) Life Orb / Sash
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Ghost / Normal / Fairy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp. Atk / Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse

Something that might work as a special attacking build for Mightyena?

Forgive me if this looks sloppy, my first time posting something like this
 
LO Crunch, Sucker Punch, Psychic Fangs and some elemental fang looks like the more likely one to ever do something in OU. This Mon really needs some upgrade at this point.

Only viable set probably and for low tiers. Posible teras: dark, fairy, poison, steel.
Maybe a bulky intimidate set with physically defensive evs for low tiers can be viable but probably don't.

Nasty plot set don't need shadow ball, gives very low coverage and only against things that destroy you anyway (gallade, medicham....). Even if you terastalize in ghost type, dark pulse is hiting the same damage against the majority of the meta. But Nasty plot seems bad, low special atack.
