Choice item Mismagius sets benefit from STAB Shadow Ball's great coverage against most of the metagame. Mismagius's coverage makes it troublesome for Ghost-immune and -resistant Pokemon to play around. Dazzling Gleam covers Dark-types like Brute Bonnet and Sneasel, while Thunderbolt targets Braviary and Articuno. Trick disrupts passive special walls by locking them into one move, which is especially devastating to item-reliant walls like Naclstack, Snorlax, Regirock, Articuno, and Cryogonal. With a Choice Scarf, Mismagius becomes one of the fastest threats in the boosted metagame, outpacing Choice Scarf users like Passimian, Adamant Floatzel, and Shaymin as well as +1 Oricorio formes. Alternatively, Choice Specs Mismagius is an immediate wallbreaker that can threaten to OHKO staples like Charizard, Mesprit, and Hattrem. Tera Fairy boosts Mismagius's Dazzling Gleam to the point where it can OHKO Brute Bonnet when holding a Choice Specs, and it provides Mismagius with a solid defensive typing to beat revenge killing attempts from Brute Bonnet's Sucker Punch and Passimian's Knock Off. Mismagius gains a useful paralysis immunity with Tera Electric, allowing it to handle paralysis spreaders like Magneton and Mesprit, and with Choice Specs, Tera Electric Mismagius can 2HKO Articuno with Thunderbolt.
With a Choice Scarf, Mismagius can serve as a powerful Speed control option for offensive teams, helping them threaten fast attackers like Charizard and Shaymin. Mismagius's ability to debilitate special walls with a Choice item can improve offense teams' matchups against bulky teams, allowing special setup sweepers like Oricorio-F and Farigiraf to take off once special walls like Snorlax and Articuno are restricted. Due to Brute Bonnet's strong Sucker Punch, Mismagius relies on partnering with checks to the former like Dipplin, Hisuian Qwilfish, and Hisuian Sneasel. Mismagius can spinblock to maintain Vikavolt's Sticky Web, and Choice Specs Mismagius can outspeed faster foes like Choice Scarf Typhlosion and Choice Band Floatzel with Sticky Web support. Spikes support from Hisuian Qwilfish and Orthworm helps wear down special walls like Snorlax, Regirock, and Naclstack for Mismagius, making it easier for Mismagius to overwhelm these foes, while Mismagius can spinblock and deal with Sandslash for the Ground-weak Hisuian Qwilfish.
