Life Orb Mienshao has enjoyed great usage as one of NU's best offensive wallbreakers due to its wide array of coverage options to heavily damage the likes of Xatu and Sylveon while being a very potent pivot. U-turn + Regenerator gives it great staying power along with allowing it to preserve momentum that would otherwise be lost in predicting a switch incorrectly. Mienshao struggles with defensive Pokemon that can punish its U-turn with their ability such as Talonflame and Vileplume, making the likes of Starmie and Tyrantrum great partners. Pokemon such as Vaporeon and Diancie also serve as great partners due to their bulk alongside Heal Bell and Stealth Rock support, respectively, to facilitate Mienshao's wallbreaking.
