On Ghost teams, Disguise and a part-Fairy typing make Mimikyu one of the best blanket checks to big threats like Grimmsnarl and Hydreigon. With its STAB moves in Shadow Claw and a priority-boosted Shadow Sneak, Mimikyu is able to revenge kill most opposing Ghost- and Psychic-types with ease outside of Dynamax. Play Rough also allows Mimikyu to break opposing Dark- and Dragon-types like Grimmsnarl, Hydreigon, and Mandibuzz. Maximum Attack and Speed investment along with a Jolly nature allows Mimikyu to maximize its offensive presence and outspeed key threats like non-boosted Excadrill and Indeedee. Adamant is also a viable option if one wants to boost the power of Mimikyu's moves in order to hit a little harder at the cost of not being able to outspeed the aforementioned Pokemon.
Ghost-types appreciate Mimikyu's ability to check many Dark-types that threaten them. Mimikyu works especially well with wallbreakers like Dragapult and Polteageist, as they open up holes in the opposing team, which allows Mimikyu to clean up during the late-game. Aegislash is also very helpful for dealing with opposing Steel-types, especially Excadrill and Duraludon, as they have abilities that nullify Mimikyu's Disguise and therefore make it much easier to KO.
