Psychic only hits Poison-types and a few specific Pokémon for extra damage, so Giga Drain or HP Fire can be used to have more overall coverage.Troll unexpected sweeping set. "Competitive" play is when you are playing against another person (not a computer in the game), usually to get a place on a leaderboard or win an actual competition like VGC. Normal types are dealt with Drain punch. In-game isn't as "competitive" as you suggest, because you aren't competing against anything; you're playing a game and progressing a storyline, not trying to earn distinction in a competitive ladder or competition, if that makes any sense.
@Rex What is the difference between ingame and competitive? Mimikyu has solid defenses to set up at least once, and access to STAB priority (Along with STAB High Crit-Hit Ratio move), and the ever common Play Rough. Is Mimikyu really that good, or is it just me? Unfortunately, the costume only makes it creepier. A good way to find Giant’s Mirror is … If a normal type comes in, Mimikyu should be able to tank 1 hit and the heal up with drain punch. Mimikyu can utilize Dynamax to clean up against bulkier teams thanks to Max Phantasm lowering opposing Pokemon's defense, and Max Starfall protecting Mimikyu from status, especially burns and paralysis, but also poison and sleep. If you have a good competitive moveset for Mimikyu, By far this IS the most evil and trolly moveset a Mimikyu can ever HAVE, trust me, this will bring your opponent in a world of PAIN. items, abilities, natures and EVs.Some detail, including the intended game mode for your set, is also appreciated. Worth having in your team, if you have a spot that needs to be filled.Notable moves: Shadow Sneak, Swords Dance, Hone Claws, Leech Life, X-Scissors, Shadow ClawWeaknesses: Ghost and Steel. This set is incredibly unpredictable and you can easily take your opponent by surprise, but it is based a little on luck because of hitting through confusion, but that's why I recommend using the Focus Sash for more turns to attack.So For the psychical Set you can run drain Punch, but everything is essential, maybe get rid of will-o-wisp. Mimikyu’s Disguise should be saved until the mid- or late-game, as Disguise can be used to stop a setup sweeper. An alternative EV spread of 228 HP / 252 Attack / 28 Defense an with Adamant nature is a viable option to maximize Mimikyu's damage output while retaining good matchup against Jolly Mega Gyarados. Shadow Sneak is able to deal good damage versus many Pokemon, and allows Mimikyu to revenge kill weakened targets. To mix things up a bit, even Wood Hammer in exchange for a Heart Scale is a decent coverage move. Discussion. Works on pretty much all Pokemon.Swagger: To confuse the opponent while raising their attack.Be sure to use this more on special attackers than physical attackers, so you don't have the risk of being hit very hard. So what you do is you give Mimikyu the following moveset: Swords Dance Shadow Sneak Shadow Claw Play Rough First turn, use Swords Dance. The scientist died of a mysterious disease. Although, if you still have Disguise up, then you're fine.How this works is you use Swagger first turn and hopefully outspeed the opponent, which is why you need max speed investment. However, they each have some good things going for them. Then there's Play rough...the name says it all.
If the opponent's Pokémon is faster, Shadow sneak should deal with them. But psychical Mimikyu is pretty straight forward.I like to go full out and with this one, kinda simple.Mimikyu @ Life Orb/Ghostium-Z/Fairium Z/Sitrus Berry/Persim BerryJar Jar wanted this, pretty much everone wants this:This set is the mother of trolls. So in conclusion, Primarina isn't as bad as some people say it is, and all the starters are good ones. It’s Ghost/Dark ability has one weakness, Fairy, three invulnerabilities and one resistance. There are some other choices you might want to consider before sticking to this one, but you won't be disappointed by it.You forgot about it's ability disguise. Usually sit around the 2000-1000 mark on the ladder each season, and I've tried to incorporate Mimikyu into multiple teams, but have never had much success. I'm not including the Toxic + Protect Stall combo as it's pretty useless in most trainer battles.Final thoughts: Mimikyu is pretty decent, but not the best. Shadow Ball and Dazzling Gleam are STAB. Here's the Moveset and other requirements.In case you don't want to get the egg move Curse just go with double team as it is VERY evil when you get the 3+ Evasion or maybe beyondChoice Specs boost your Special Attack.
