Mimikyu moveset disscussion

[coolflare]

Mimikyu is a MONSTER IN OU and in Pkmn sm in general.
I know it has many movesets but this is what I like to use.

Mimikyu @ Life orb/Ghostlium Z
Adamant/Jolly
252atk/252spe/4def
Shadow Sneak
Play Rough
Leech Life/ Shadow claw
Swords Dance


Shadow Sneak is for priority
Play Rough is it's strongest STAB move
Leech Life is for recovery when running life orb
Shadow Claw is for stronger Ghost STAB and for Ghostlium Z
Swords Dance is for atk buffs.
You can also run 252hp and Adamant instead of 252spe for Life Orb for the sake of survival
What do you guys think?

Why does people keep running Leech Life in Mimikyu... it's awful!!


Is a decente set, but there is a few things I would modify:

Jolly over Adamant imo, 96 speed is good against many Pokémon in the meta, but I can see Adamant being useful in some sets

There is no point on running HP or a Recovery move in Mimikyu, it is supposed to take a hit with Disguise, and then die to the next one. Probably the only usable recovery move this thing should run is Pain Split

People should seriously stop using Leech Life in Mimikyu, I have seen it way to often and it is absolutely a garbage move in Mimikyu. Not only the HP recovery is completely useless unless you want to use an extremely bulky set (and still that is not really that good) but Leech Life gives you no coverage at all.

You should always run Shadow Claw and Play Rough in Mimikyu, options for the othe moves are SD, Shadow Sneak, Thunder Wave and destiny bond

Good items are LO, Z-Ghost, Z-Fairy,Lum Berry and Red Card


Hone Claws is bad and Z-Splash is a noob trap
