This set allows Mienshao to be a great revenge killer. It’s base 105 speed allows it to outspeed scarfed/boosted Pokemon such as Salamence, Volcarona, Heracross, Garchomp, and Jirachi. Reckless boosts Mienshao’s High Jump Kick and makes spamming it a more viable option. Stone edge allows Mienshao to hit Pokémon such as Victini, Froslass, Xatu, and Volcarona for super effective damage. Hidden power ice allows Mienshao to deal extra damage to Pokémon such as Salamence, Dragonite, and Garchomp. U-turn is the main appeal of this set, as it allows Mienshao to keep up momentum vs Psychic teams.
