[Pros]
<ul>
<li>Amazing power with 125 base Attack and STAB Hi Jump Kick.</li>
<li>Good Speed.</li>
<li>Great coverage moves and U-turn.</li>
<li>Regenerator, which allows it to use a drawback free Life Orb.</li>
<li>Usable Special Attack, allowing it to use moves such as Hidden Power Ice and Grass Knot.</li>
</ul>
[Cons]
<ul>
<li>It is frail and provides no defensive synergy to a team.</li>
<li>Its STAB move makes it lose half of its life if a Ghost-type comes in, and Ghost-types are everywhere.</li>
<li>Fighting resists are very common, making Hi Jump Kick less potent</li>
<li>Not that fast, considering it gets OHKOed by anything that outspeeds it.</li>
</ul>

<p>Set Comments</p>
- Classic wallbreaker, but needs somewhat good prediction because it's STAB is not easily spammable in this metagame
- Regenerator and great Speed are its main advantages over other wallbreakers, making sure it sticks around long enough to give defensive cores a hard time as long as it's played correctly
- Knock Off covers Ghost-types mainly, but Psychic-types as well
- Stone Edge covers Flying-types and Togekiss
- U-turn preserves momentum and is the best option if there are too many checks to Mienshao on the opposing team
- Hidden Power Ice is for Garchomp and Gliscor
- Grass Knot is for Hippowdon
- Stealth Rock helps get OHKO/2HKOes
- Pokemon to switch into the things that give Mienshao trouble, such as Azumarill, Venusaur, Ghost-types, and Hippowdon
- Azumarill
- Venusaur
- Sylveon
- Physically defensive Hippowdon
- Gliscor
- Aegislash
- Gourgeist
- Trevenant
- Defensive Gyarados
- Tentacruel
- Any faster Pokemon can usually OHKO Mienshao
- Priority
