Mismagius is a fantastic wallbreaker at the moment, able to take full advantage of prevalent walls such as Registeel, as well as a great tool against more offensive teams thanks to its Speed tier that allows it to outpace many base 100 threats such as Shaymin and Ninetales. It's gotten even better with the recent Meloetta ban, and its rare ability Levitate lets it set up on Choice-locked Ground-types such as Choice Scarf Flygon and gives it a good matchup against Sticky Web teams. If you're wondering what to pair with it, Fighting-types like Machamp are fantastic options, as they greatly appreciate it taking out common walls like Slowbro and Cresselia and can deal with Dark-types in return. However, while there is a clear lack of Ghost resists in RU, understand that Mismagius is going to struggle with glue Pokemon such as Dragalge and Noivern and will fail to make headway against any Normal-types such as Porygon2.
