Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Shadow Claw
- Play Rough

Mimikyu is one of the most threatening late-game cleaners UU has to offer thanks to its unresisted STAB coverage, access to Swords Dance, and ability in Disguise. Disguise is what makes Mimikyu so scary; despite its low Attack, Mimikyu can set up and sweep at a moment's notice. It also notably brings life to Sticky Web teams, which help it bypass checks like Cobalion while appreciating its ability to sweep and act as an emergency check to Noivern. Shadow Sneak even allows it to deal with faster revenge killers like Mienshao and Jirachi if they're sufficiently weakened. Mimikyu appreciates support from strong wallbreakers like Obstagoon and Keldeo; it hits hard, but not hard enough to break through sturdy walls like Skarmory and Galarian Weezing. Skarmory is a big issue, so pairing Mimikyu with Pokemon like Rotom-W and Heliolisk is helpful. Entry hazard support from Pokemon like Krookodile and Roserade is also useful to help put Pokemon like Keldeo in range of a +2 Shadow Sneak.

Try and link disguise into the first sentence as a big part of why its so threatening. You have some extra characters left, so worth commenting on how its also nice as an anti-noivern mon for webs, and also commenting on how webs support allows it to get around checks like Coba better. Looks great otherwise.

QC 1/1.

Disguise is what makes Mimikyu so scary; despite its low Attack, it Mimikyu can set up and sweep at a moment's notice. It also notably brings life to Sticky Web teams, helping which help it bypass checks like Cobalion while appreciating its ability to both sweep and act as an emergency check to Noivern. Shadow Sneak even allows it to deal with faster revenge killers like Mienshao and Jirachi if they're sufficiently weakened. Mimikyu appreciates support from strong wallbreakers like Obstagoon and Keldeo; it hits hard, but not hard enough to break through sturdy walls like Skarmory or and Galarian Weezing. Skarmory in particular is a big issue for Mimikyu, so pairing it Mimikyu with Pokemon like Rotom-W and Heliolisk is helpful. Entry hazard support from Pokemon like Krookodile and Roserade is also useful to help put Pokemon like Keldeo in range of a +2 Shadow Sneak.
