UU AV Mienshao [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1]

[avarice]

Mienshao (F) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 100 HP / 156 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Knock Off
- U-turn

Fighting-types have become rather dominant in UU. Mienshao may not have the versatility or ability to set up effectively like some other Fighting-types, but it can serve as a useful pivot. With the Assault Vest, Mienshao is capable of taking powerful special attacks from the likes of Rotom-C, Nihilego, and Hydreigon and U-turn out. With this valuable trait, Mienshao fits nicely on balance and bulky offense builds. Mienshao specializes in getting off chip damage using Fake Out and Knock Off against the enemy team to let a teammate have an easier time sweeping. Mienshao still hits decently hard despite lacking Attack investment and Reckless and can force switches to U-turn out once more. Wallbreakers that can make up for Mienshao's lack of power include Crawdaunt, Bisharp, and Blastoise. With Regenerator, Mienshao can also form a formidable Regenerator core with Amoonguss and Slowbro, and Mienshao's ability to answer many special attackers gives it synergy with physical walls like Mega Steelix as well.

This looks pretty good. Here's what I've got for ya:

With the Assault Vest, Mienshao is capable of taking powerful special attacks and proceed to U-Turn back out while recovering health. Mienshao's ability to check Celebi, Nihilego, and Hydreigon is a valuable trait in the current metagame.

Your character count is a just a bit high, so I'd find a way to merge these sentences together (such as adding "allowing it to check threats such as...." to the end of the first sentence) since in addition to slimming the character count this would also give the spotlight better overall flow. I'd also replace the Celebi example with Rotom-C since Mienshao really isn't a reliable answer to Celebi.

Mienshao specializes in getting chip damage off against the enemy team to let a teammate have an easier time sweeping. Fake Out and Knock Off are reliable ways of doing so. Knock Off removes leftovers/evolites while hitting Ghost-types hard. Fake Out gets off extra damage.

These sentences aren't really necessary and can be removed. I'd add in its ability to get off chip damage with Knock Off and Fake Out in your sentence on its ability to tank hits, though you don't need to specify what the specific moves do for Mienshao.

Since you've got a little more space with the removals, talk about types of teams Mienshao can fit on well (like balance and bulky offense) since right now mentions of those are absent from the spotlight. If you have room, I'd also give some examples of wallbreakers that can help it circumvent its power problem but try staying close to 1000 characters. Tag me once you've done all this so I can get a second look. Nice work!
