MY MAN.

you know that once a year thing in unova where thunderus and tornadus get pissy and one of the bigger rangers has to wake lando up?

do you have any idea how terrifying it is to have to deal with an illegal bonfire, in and get told halfway through "get the hell out of there thunderus is coming". shit was not fun! especially when I was still in training! -pizza ranger

PIZZA RANGER YOU ARE UNOVAN?

I thought you were Paldean. Or at least idk. Not Unovan. I feel betrayed, somehow. It's okay tho I forgive u.

All yenas are "spicy". They are a wild, non-domesticated species. They have extremely high and specific enrichment and social needs, and tbh the vast majority of people who raise them aren't meeting those needs. Which is why they have a reputation for being difficult.

Your yena isn't gonna be satisfied doing one on one battles. They're pack hunters, and will need to have an outlet to pack hunt. People will often say that you can pair them with other dark type dogmons for them to get the necessary socialization/play but that's also not true. They look similar, but yenas aren't dogs. They are their own unique category, and use different cues for communication than other dog mons.

They also are always gonna bite. It's part of their nature. You can't train that out of them any more than you can train a charmander to douse their flame tails. It's how they communicate a lot of things. What you can do is teach them where your specific boundary is for how hard they can bite you, but tbh even the sweetest yena is gonna push past that boundary every now and again, just to see what'll happen.
