[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Mienfoo's superb speed tier in conjunction with the high damage it deals makes it an excellent threat and cleaner. High Jump Kick OHKOs or 2HKOs any neutral target. Knock Off removes the Eviolite from Fighting resists like Foongus and Mareanie, wearing them down for later, as well as nailing Ghost-types or Tera Ghost Pokémon. U-turn lets you scout for switch-ins and punish them accordingly. Close Combat is used when High Jump Kick's power isn't needed and you'd prefer a more accurate move. Tera Fighting combined with Reckless skyrockets Mienfoo’s damage output to new heights, letting it OHKO Fast Pivot Mienfoo and Tinkatink from full, as well as OHKOing Vullaby and having a favorable range to 2HKO Foongus with High Jump Kick after Stealth Rock.
Choice Scarf Mienfoo is best utilized on more offensive teams that appreciate its immediate speed and power. Pokémon like Wingull, Elekid and Vullaby benefit from the Poison-types that Mienfoo can pivot out on, allowing them to switch in safely and exert pressure. Additionally, Choice Scarf Mienfoo is very frail, so it benefits from being brought in safely by pivots like Chinchou, Elekid and Vullaby. Choice Scarf Mienfoo also punishes teams that expect its Fast Pivot set, blowing up typical checks like Vullaby and Tinkatink, which can open up teammates like Grookey, Stunky and Vullaby.
