[SET COMMENTS]
Mimikyu is one of Fairy's premier setup sweepers thanks to Disguise near guaranteeing one free turn to set up Swords Dance to boost its Attack. Play Rough is Mimikyu's strongest STAB move and allows Mimikyu to secure a OHKO on Iron Hands after a Swords Dance and also deals with bulky Great Tusk. Shadow Sneak lets Mimikyu revenge kill weakened offensive threats like Iron Moth and faster Ghost-type Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult. Shadow Claw lets Mimikyu break past bulkier Ghost-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Skeledirge more readily compared to Shadow Sneak, while Drain Punch is an alternative that threatens opposing Steel-types such as Magnezone and Kingambit. Mimikyu's preferred item is Life Orb to boost its damage output as much as possible.

One of Mimikyu's best partners on Fairy teams is Klefki. Mimikyu appreciates Spikes from Klefki, which allows Mimikyu to take down Pokemon easier after a Swords Dance boost. In return, Mimikyu can block Rapid Spin, allowing Klefki's hazards to stay up during the course of the game. Flutter Mane is often paired with Mimikyu since it can threaten physically defensive pokemon that give Mimikyu a hard time like Amoonguss, Quagsire,(ac) and Forretress and also faster offensive threats like Iron Moth and Kilowattrel. Mimikyu is able to break through specially defensive Pokemon like Dragalge which gives Flutter Mane an easier time. Hatterene is also a good partner for Mimikyu, as it can bounce back debilitating status conditions like Will-O-Wisp from Sableye and Thunder Wave from Klefki and also bounces back hazards, which helps with Mimikyu's longevity since it runs Life Orb. Furthermore,(ac) Mimikyu with its Disguise up can check opposing Ghost-type Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Gholdengo for Hatterene. Iron Valiant is also one of Mimikyu's best offensive teammates, as special sets are able to threaten other physically defensive Pokemon like Dondozo. Additionally, Iron Valiant is useful for Mimikyu in the Ground matchup, where a Choice Specs set can check answers to Mimikyu, such as Quagsire and Clodsire, using Psyshock. Azumarill can use Belly Drum against Steel teams and weaken foes like Orthworm and revenge kill Iron Treads with Aqua Jet.

Mimikyu is one of Fairy's premier set-up sweepers, thanks to its ability Disguise near guaranteeing one free turn to set up Swords Dance to boost its Attack. Play Rough is Mimikyu's strongest STAB option and allows Mimikyu to hit Dragon-type Pokemon for super-effective damage (this feels like dex info, can you mention targets instead? Also add that it deals with Iron Hands at +2, which is something Fairy appreciates at least...). Shadow Sneak lets Mimikyu revenge kill weakened offensive threats like Iron Moth and also allows Mimikyu to revenge kill faster Ghost-type pPokemon such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult. Shadow Claw is Mimikyu's secondary STAB option (why is it used though? Perhaps its for hitting Dirge and Gholdengo?) which is stronger than Shadow Sneak meanwhile Drain Punch is an alternative to one-hit KO OHKO Kingambit and also hit other Steel-type Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Magnezone (generalize this to hitting Steel-types instead, you dont OHKO Gambit unless you're at +2). Mimikyu's preferred item of choice is Life Orb to boost its damage output as much as possible.

One of Mimikyu's best partners on Fairy teams is Klefki. Mimikyu appreciates the Spikes that Klefki is able to set, which allows Mimikyu to take down Pokemon easier after a Swords Dance boost. Spikes have the added bonus of breaking Focus Sash on Pokemon such as Breloom which would take one Play Rough guaranteed from Mimikyu and break its Disguise. Klefki also provides Mimikyu dual screens which gives it easier setup opportunity and higher defenses to take hits when its Disguise is broken. (summarize to 2 sentences) In return, Mimikyu can block Rapid Spin, allowing Klefki's hazards to stay up during the course of the game. Flutter Mane is often paired with Mimikyu since it can threaten physically defensive pokemon that give Mimikyu a hard time like Amoonguss, Quagsire and Forretress and also faster offensive threats like Meowscarada and Roaring Moon (Meow and RM tend to use scarf, I'd rather use a different example). Mimikyu is able to break through specially defensive pokemon like Clodsire, which gives Flutter Mane an easier time. Hatterene is also a good partner for Mimikyu, as Hatterene can bounce back debilitating status conditions for Mimikyu like Will-O-Wisp from Sableye and Thunder Wave from Rotom-Wash while Mimikyu, with its Disguise up, can check opposing Ghost-type Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Gholdengo for Hatterene.

Mimikyu is able to break through specially defensive pokemon like Clodsire (You do not break clod as mimi, pick a diff example), which gives Flutter Mane an easier time. Hatterene is also a good partner for Mimikyu, as Hatterene can bounce back debilitating status conditions for Mimikyu like Will-O-Wisp from Sableye and Thunder Wave (add that it bounces back status and spikes, which is nice since with an LO its getting chipped too much. Rotom-W is also kinda weird of an example as both water/elec uses it as an NP'er as of late) from Rotom-Wash while Mimikyu, with its Disguise up, can check opposing Ghost-type Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Gholdengo for Hatterene. Iron Valiant is also one of Mimikyu's best offensive teammates, with special sets being able to threaten other physically defensive Pokemon like Dondozo and Azumarill can use Belly Drum against Steel teams and weaken members like Orthworm and revenge kill Iron Treads with Aqua Jet. (it helps in Ground/Poison matchup too, depending on the set it has....)

Mimikyu is one of Fairy's premier set-up setup sweepers,(rc) thanks to its ability Disguise near guaranteeing one free turn to set up Swords Dance to boost its Attack. Play Rough is Mimikyu's strongest STAB option move not slashed, so i think move makes more sense here and allows Mimikyu to secure a KO OHKO on Iron Hands after a Swords Dance and also deals with bulky i think this is what you mean here? otherwise you can probably drop "Pokemon such as" and leave it at Great Tusk if that's the only reference Pokemon such as Great Tusk. Shadow Sneak lets Mimikyu revenge kill weakened offensive threats like Iron Moth and also allows Mimikyu to revenge kill faster Ghost-type Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult. Shadow Claw is Mimikyu's secondary STAB option that lets Mimikyu break past bulkier Ghost-type Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Skeledirge more readily compared to Shadow Sneak meanwhile while Drain Punch is an alternative to threaten that threatens opposing Steel-types such as Magnezone and Kingambit. Mimikyu's preferred item of choice is Life Orb to boost its damage output as much as possible.

One of Mimikyu's best partners on Fairy teams is Klefki. Mimikyu appreciates the Spikes that Klefki is able to set Spikes Klefki sets, which allows Mimikyu to take down Pokemon easier after a Swords Dance boost. In return, Mimikyu can block Rapid Spin, allowing Klefki's hazards to stay up during the course of the game. Flutter Mane is often paired with Mimikyu since it can threaten physically defensive pokemon that give Mimikyu a hard time like Amoonguss, Quagsire,(ac) and Forretress and also faster offensive threats like Iron Moth and Kilowattrel. Mimikyu is able to break through specially defensive pokemon like Dragalge,(rc) which gives Flutter Mane an easier time. Hatterene is also a good partner for Mimikyu, as Hatterene can bounce back debilitating status conditions for Mimikyu like Will-O-Wisp from Sableye and Thunder Wave from Klefki and is also to also bounces bounce back hazards, which helps with Mimikyu's longevity since it runs Life Orb.

Shadow Sneak lets Mimikyu revenge kill weakened offensive threats like Iron Moth and also allows Mimikyu to revenge kill faster Ghost-type Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult.

compared to Shadow Sneak, (add comma) meanwhile while

the Spikes that Klefki is able to set Spikes Klefki sets

just "Spikes from Kleki" is good enough

Mimikyu is able to break through specially defensive pokemon Pokemon

Hatterene is also a good partner for Mimikyu, as Hatterene it

Additionally, Iron Valiant is useful for Mimikyu in the Ground matchup, where a Choice Specs set can check answers to Mimikyu, (add comma) such as Quagsire and Clodsire, (add comma) using Psyshock
