[Set Comments]
- Can fit on any number of teams, but is extremely useful on set up teams such as Tailwind or as a counter to Trick Room users.
- One of the three possible users of Fake Out, and the only one that is also immune to flinching.
- After you have used Fake Out, Mienshao has good coverage with Rock Slide and your choice of Fighting STAB.
- Wide Guard can allow Mienshao to be more of a support pokemon by covering both of your pokemon at the same time, but this only works with multi-target moves.
[Additional Comments]
- Hi Jump Kick can be used over Drain Punch, but it can be extremely risky considering the amount of Ghost-types and Protect users.
- Protect can be used over Wide Guard. Protect is a more reliable move, but it does not have the same high reward that Wide Guard does.
[Optional Changes]
- Life Orb can also be used as an item to increase damage. If you do this, it is recommended you use Drain Punch in order to try and balance out the recoil.
- Reflect (to be elaborated)
- Quick Guard (to be elaborated)
[Checks and Counters]
- While not too much can be done first turn to Mienshao because of Fake Out, after that Mienshao can be severely hurt by pokemon that are faster than it. Best examples are Tornadus and Archeops that can easily take Mienshao out with Acrobatics.
- If the opponent is able to set up Trick Room or Tailwind, then Mienshao might also have some problems due to being frail. however, it will still be able to do it job of support with Wide Guard.
