MIGHTYENA

This is the next in a very long list from a Pokemon-obsessed Etsy customer of mine.  I must admit that Mightyena is a personal favorite of mine as well.  Most of the pattern for Mightyena was easy to come up with because I have done Mightyena for this same customer back in November.  This pattern includes the color list for Mightyena and Shiny Mightyena.
