Choice Scarf Mienfoo is one of the biggest threats in the LC metagame, since it outspeeds most of the tier while throwing powerful attacks. Reckless High Jump Kick is one of the strongest moves in LC and can OHKO or 2HKO every neutral target. Knock off removes Eviolite from Poison-Types like Mareanie, Foongus and Koffing which fear switching in Mienfoo later in the game with hazards up. U-turn is a great move for pivoting on the previous mentioned Poison-Types, Snubbull and Vullaby, and can wear down a Full HP Hisuian Voltorb to be in range of Mienfoo's STAB moves when it comes in again. Close Combat is a weaker but more accurate option for situations that you do not have to risk a High Jump Kick miss and drops are not relevant. Tera fighting gives it a huge offensive potential, since it can OHKO Hisuian Voltorb and 2HKO Foongus and Mareanie.
Choice Scarf Mienfoo pairs well with Gothita, since it can trap Foongus and Mareanie which are common answers to High Jump Kick and will need to Terastalize to live Gothita's Psychic. Toedscool and Foongus are great partners as well because of their ability to easily switch into Hisuian Voltorb, which a non-eviolite Mienfoo cannot do. Another good teammates for Scarf Mienfoo are Tinkatink and Glimmet, both can switch into Vullaby, that easily comes in Mienfoo's Knock Off.
