*With a good base Speed and Attack stats along with a variety of great support moves Mienshao is an amazing support Pokemon that can also be a strong offensive threat with its STAB Close Combat. Mienshao's ability in inner focus allows for its attack to not be weakened by opposing intimidate.
*Close Combat is used as Mienshao's primary attacking move. Being able to hit common dark types in the format like Incineroar and Urshifu-Single Strike, as well as Steel-types like Heatran and Kartana for Super Effective damage.
*Fake Out allows Mienshao to gain momentum for dangerous Dynamexed teammates such as Galarian Moltres and Thundurus. Mienshao uses fake out especially well do to being faster than more common Fake Out users like Rillaboom and Incineroar meaning Mienshao can stop the opponent from flinching it's partner
*Coaching allows Mienshao to boost physical partners damage output such as Garchomp, Landorus-Therian and Glastrier while also allowing them to better take physical attacks. Helping Hand allows Mienshao to boost it's Special Attacking partners who don't benefit as much from Coaching as Physical Attackers would.
*Taunt allows Mienshao to not rely on fake out to stop opponents from setting up Trick Room or using status moves like Porygon2 and Amoongus. Mienshao can also use Ally Switch to redirect attacks to itself, it is worth noting that Mienshao can take any attack when at full health do to Focus Sash.
*Due to Mienshaos frailty, Focus Sash is the ideal item for it to hold, allowing it to live an attack and stay in the battle longer
