Mimikyu rant

I've been playing a lot of OU now that Pokebank pokemon are legal, and boy, do I see a lot of Mimikyu. Mimikyu has decent stats, but Disguise, it's signature ability, gives it a free SD with no drawbacks. Not only that, it gets perfect coverage in OU with only it's STAB moves (Litleo and Pyroar are the only pokes that resist this type combo and Pyroar is obsolete in OU) which makes it

  • ...very annoying to face without a very bulky mon. The only way to bypass its ability is by using Mold Breaker, pre-pokebank the only Mold Breaker mons were Haxorus and Rampardos. Now, post-pokebank, the only OU Mold Breaker mon is Excadrill... so we'll be seeing a lot of teams get destroyed by Mimikyu until the end of SM.

  • Perfect Mimikyu counter: Multi-strike moves.

  • Burning it is an option, but reliable will-o-wispers are few and far between and the most viable is Sableye, which gets destroyed by Play Rough. Scald is another option, but it is luck based.

  • Or just run an Unaware Clefable.... lol... What setup?

  • Multi-strike moves do work but the only viable users in OU are Battle Bond Greninja and Mega Heracross.

  • Yes but Mimikyu is centralizing the metagame a bit and I'm just doing a bit of ranting

  • Just use a Pokemon in a lower tier, then. Where would Alolan Golem with Rock Blast be at?

  • UU or RU probably.

    Yeahs0
  • Solgaleo is Ubers.

  • I always use Mimikyu. And the two things which are the biggest threat? Gear Grind and Sunsteel Strike

  • All you really need to do is outspeed it with a good steel type... Choice Scarf Cobalion for example works as a good mixed attacker and decent physical wall... Flash Cannon, Sacred Sword, Volt Switch, X-scissor

  • I remember when I thought tiers were relevant.

  • use a compound eyes timid vivillon with a focus slash. use sleep powder on it, then bug buzz. maybe be daring and use a quiver dance too. (hurricane is the fourth attack on my vivillon)
