This whiskered bipedal weasel packs a punch and lets the RU metagame know it! Normally, it can be seen sporting a nifty little Choice Scarf to ensure other Choice Scarf users like Zarude don't run amuck, but this wallbreaking set is just too good to ignore. For starters, Regenerator gives it no reason to worry about the Life Orb recoil it will be constantly taking, not to mention the potential Rocky Helmet chip from foes like Galarian Weezing. This set covers everything, save for Fairy-types like Togekiss, which Stone Edge can 2HKO, in addition to OHKOing Talonflame. Close Combat can 2HKO the common bulky Water-types known as Milotic and Seismitoad even after Leftovers recovery. Knock Off picks off pesky Ghost-types like Chandelure and Mimikyu while being another move to ensure threats like Noivern and Togekiss can't switch in for free. Fairy-types like Galarian Weezing and Sylveon are issues for Mienshao, but, due to U-turn, it can bring in a partner like Necrozma or Metagross to wear them down.
