Mienfoo continues its LC dominance with its mixture of defensive fortitude from Regenerator, moveset utility, and its Speed acting as the benchmark for the rest of the tier. Knock Off enables Mienfoo to create consistent progress against opposing Pokemon like Foongus and Mareanie that resist its Fighting-type attacks. U-turn synergizes with Mienfoo's Regenerator ability while also exploiting defensive switches that Mienfoo often causes. Fake Out is a useful move for helping Mienfoo lead against opposing teams and chipping down Choice Scarf users. Taunt is a valuable substitute to Fake Out that can prevent setup like Shellder's Shell Smash as well as Foongus's Spore. Tera Steel grants Mienfoo important resistances to Vullaby's Brave Bird and both of Foongus's STAB move options. Alternatively, Tera Water can be used in order to resist Shellder's Icicle Spear and Liquidation and Hisuian Growlithe's Flare Blitz.

Mienfoo's versatility allows it to fit on a large variety of teams. Vullaby is Mienfoo's most common partner because of its ability to manage Foongus and Gothita, which Mienfoo struggles to deal with, while Mienfoo can deal significant damage to Vullaby's switch-ins like Tinkatink. Mienfoo's pivoting power from U-turn allows frailer teammates like Elekid and Alolan Diglett more opportunities to enter the battlefield. Gothita is another excellent partner for Mienfoo, as its Shadow Tag ability allows it to switch in after Mienfoo's U-turn to trap Poison-types like Foongus and Mareanie that Mienfoo has difficulties making progress against. Chinchou is a great teammate for switching into fast offensive threats like Elekid and Wingull that threaten big damage to Mienfoo.

Mienfoo continues its LC dominance with its mixture of defensive fortitude from Regenerator, moveset utility, and its Speed acting as the benchmark for the rest of the tier. High Jump Kick is the primary STAB option due to its counterpart Close Combat causing defensive stat drops. You could replace this with another sentence about mienfoos role or smth so it flows into the moves better. u don't have to explain STAB moves tho. Knock Off enables Mienfoo to create constant progress against opposing Pokemon like Foongus and Mareanie who resist its Fighting-type attacks. U-turn synergizes with Mienfoo's Regenerator ability while also exploiting defensive switches that Mienfoo often causes. Fake Out is a useful move for helping Mienfoo lead against opposing teams and chipping down Choice Scarf users. Taunt is a valuable substitute to Fake Out that can prevent setup and Foongus's Spore. Tera Steel grants Mienfoo important resistances to Vullaby's Brave Bird and both of Foongus's STAB-move options. Alternatively, Tera Water can be used in order to resist Shellder's Icicle Spear and Growlithe-Hisui's Hisuian Growlithe's Flare Blitz.

Mienfoo's versatility allows it to fit on a large variety of teams. Vullaby is Mienfoo's most common partner because of its ability to manage Foongus that Mienfoo struggles to deal with, while Mienfoo can deal significant damage to Tinkatink for Vullaby. Mienfoo's pivoting power from U-turn allows frailer teammates like Elekid and Diglett-Alola Alolan Diglett more opportunities to enter the battlefield. Could stand to mention other good pairings like Foo uturning for goth trapping foo checks, foong/mare creating good Regen cores with foo or foo + like skunk working together to break down shared checks like tink/vull, this para was just kinda short so

Fake Out is a useful move for helping Mienfoo lead against opposing teams and chipping down Choice Scarf users. Taunt is a valuable substitute to Fake Out that can prevent setup could mention shellder and maybe some other examples and Foongus's Spore. Tera Steel grants Mienfoo important resistances to Vullaby's Brave Bird and both of Foongus's STAB-move options. Alternatively, Tera Water can be used in order to resist Shellder's Icicle Spear steel also resists icicle spear, prob mention liquidation in addition and Hisuian Growlithe’s Flare Blitz.

Mienfoo's versatility allows it to fit on a large variety of teams you could probably make this statement even stronger bc of the usage, something like "nearly ubiquitous" (don't love how that sounds rn but we can come up with something in the cord). Vullaby is Mienfoo's most common partner because of its ability to manage Foongus that Mienfoo struggles to deal with also gothita, wingull, etc—you can probably broaden this a bit, while Mienfoo can deal significant damage to Tinkatink for Vullaby Vullaby's switch-ins like Tinkatink? I feel like it does a lot more than just beat Tink and you can expand here. Mienfoo's pivoting power from U-turn allows frailer teammates like Elekid and Alolan Diglett more opportunities to enter the battlefield. Gothita is another excellent partner for Mienfoo as its Shadow Tag abililty allows it to switch in (on U-turn? try to connect this more to the pivoting portion as that's not super clear rn) and trap Poison-types like Foongus and Mareanie that Mienfoo has difficulties making progress into. I think you should also throw in a few faster threats that Foo can get picked off by like Elekid/Wingull or u could link wingull and Vullaby or something. Gothita works too, just need a bit more on things that it's weak too, and if you could pick examples that are specifically good against fast foo that would be ideal.

Stuff that's there looks great. Like Flou said you could just add a bit more detail, run it by the cord rq when you add the sentences but I think it should be pretty much good for GP with a bit more detail.
