Mienshao @ Life Orb
Ability: Sword of Ruin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
Mienshao kicks through the Pokebilities AAA metagame! The combination of Sword of Ruin and Reckless pushes the damage of High Jump Kick to ridiculous levels, 2HKOing some of the bulkiest Pokemon in the tier such as Fluffy Corviknight after Stealth Rock. Knock Off hits Pecharunt and Slowking, as well as punishing pivots such as Alomomola by removing their items. Triple Axel OHKOes Pokemon such as Shadow Shield Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, and physically defensive Zapdos. In addition to Reckless, Mienshao has two other incredibly useful native abilities. Inner Focus makes it immune to Intimidate, making it much more difficult for opponents to pivot around its powerful attacks, while Regenerator allows Mienshao to offset the damage it takes from Life Orb, Rocky Helmet, and a missed High Jump Kick. Mienshao works well when paired with Pokemon that can make up for its subpar Speed, such as Choice Scarf Latios and Primordial Sea Barraskewda. Additionally, Mienshao appreciates teammates that can set entry hazards, such as Great Tusk, Heatran, and Hisuian Samurott, to allow it to more easily break through physical walls.
