Mimikyu is a fantastic Pokemon on hyper offensive teams, as its amazing combination of Swords Dance and Disguise make it phenomenal at revenge killing threats like Mega Altaria, Mega Sharpedo, and Infernape. Never-Ending Nightmare allows Mimikyu to break past some of its checks like Amoonguss, Empoleon, and Tentacruel after a Swords Dance without losing its Disguise. Mimikyu appreciates entry hazard support from partners like Froslass, Azelf, and Araquanid that allow Mimikyu to more easily break past bulkier Pokemon like Alomomola and defensive Primarina or outspeed Pokemon like Infernape, while Mimikyu can effectively spinblock in return. Mimikyu struggles a lot against most of the tier's prominent Steel-types like Mega Aggron, Scizor, and Cobalion, as it struggles to break through them and is easily revenge killed by the latter two. For this reason, Pokemon that are capable of removing or luring in Steel-types such as Lucario and Superpower Scizor are great partners for Mimikyu.

mimik isn't really a wallbreaker compared to almost any other mon on hyper offense so you should probably not repeatedly refer to it being one. It's mainly just used as a panic button revenge killer and a spinblocker on HO, and wallbreaking will have to be covered elsewhere either way.

Mention araquanid in hazard setters (maybe over Azelf bc suicide lead sr azelf has been somewhat trending down as of late) because mimikyu's nice on webs.

Mimikyu struggles to break though all of those steels, to be honest. It can break through Scizor and Cobalion if they hard in on mimikyu, it swords dances on the switch, it is Ghostium Z, it still has disguise up, and it doesn't get flinched by Cobalion's Iron Head, but i would still call that struggling. Rephrase and condense the sentence to accommodate.

Technically a quality issue: swap the order of Superpower Scizor and Lucario, because you aren't using Superpower Lucario.

qc 1/1, tag me when you're done and i'll gp

Mimikyu is a fantastic offensive presence Pokemon (repetitive wording) on hyper offensive teams as its access to Swords Dance and an amazing ability in it a phenomenal revenge killer. Disguise providing Mimikyu with the unique trait to always get off a Swords Dance to potentially sweep and revenge kill threats like Mega Altaria, Mega Sharpedo, and Infernape by virtue of Mimikyu's unique typing of Ghost / Fairy allowing it to hit the entire tier with a neutral or super-effective attack. Shadow Claw is the strongest Ghost-type STAB move at Mimikyu's disposal that can turn into a strong Never-Ending Nightmare, which, (AC) as its amazing combination of Swords Dance and Disguise make it phenomenal at revenge killing threats like Mega Altaria, Mega Sharpedo, and Infernape. Never-Ending Nightmare allows Mimikyu to break past some of its checks like Amoonguss, Empoleon, and Tentacruel after a Swords Dance, (RC) without the cost of losing its Disguise. Mimikyu appreciates entry hazard support from partners like Froslass, Araquanid, and Azelf, (AC) and Araquanid that allow Mimikyu to more easily break past bulkier Pokemon like Alomomola and defensive Primarina easier or outspeed Pokemon like Infernape, while Mimikyu can also prevent Rapid Spin users like Mega Blastoise and Tentacruel potentially removing these hazards by virtue of its Ghost typing effectively spinblock in return. Mimikyu struggles a lot against most of the tiers tier's prominent Steel-types like Mega Aggron, Scizor, and Cobalion, (AC) as it struggles to break through them while also being and is easily revenge killed by the latter two. For this reason, Pokemon that are capable of removing or lure luring in Steel-types such as Lucario and Superpower Scizor are great partners for Mimikyu.
