Mimikyu is one of the most potent and threatening late-game cleaners in UU due to its ability Disguise, which means that foes are often forced to attack Mimikyu and risk taking unnecessary damage to prevent it from setting up and enable a teammate to revenge kill it to prevent a sweep late-game, which can create mind games and give it more setup opportunities. As a result, it can almost always obtain a Swords Dance boost, making Mimikyu a lot more threatening, mitigating how weak its unboosted attacks are, even when boosted with a Life Orb, on neutral targets; after a boost, Mimikyu's attacks become powerful enough to OHKO dangerous wallbreakers such as Kyurem and Mamoswine. This combined with Mimikyu's unresisted STAB coverage means it can beat a majority of the tier's most prominent Pokemon, such as Keldeo, Krookodile, and Slowking. Shadow Sneak boosts Mimikyu's effectiveness as a cleaner, effectively bypassing faster Pokemon that would otherwise check it such as Jirachi. A Jolly nature is required so Mimikyu can revenge kill faster foes such as Obstagoon.

Mimikyu fits best on offensive teams that appreciate its ability to set up easily and clean up a weakened opposing team late-game. These teams also benefit from Disguise enabling Mimikyu to revenge kill a key threat in a pinch. As such, wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Lycanroc-D that can chip or remove checks to Mimikyu such as Skarmory, Galarian Weezing, and defensive Incineroar are good partners. Lycanroc-D also can help chip Doublade in range of Mimikyu's attacks and provides extra priority if Mimikyu fails to clean late-game. Due to Mimikyu's low damage output, it appreciates entry hazard support to chip foes such as Jirachi into range of its attacks, potentially preventing them from breaking its Disguise. As such, Stealth Rock users such as Krookodile and Terrakion make good partners. Mimikyu also fits well on Sticky Web teams due to the Speed reduction allowing it to remove threats like Terrakion and Keldeo before they can break its Disguise as well as being a good check to Noivern on these teams, so Araquanid is a good partner to set the entry hazard. Specially offensive Araquanid can also lure in and weaken or remove Skarmory, which is one of Mimikyu's biggest checks.

Shadow Sneak boosts Mimikyu's effectiveness as a cleaner, effectively bypassing faster Pokemon that would otherwise check it such as Choice Scarf Jirachi. A Jolly nature is required so Mimikyu can revenge kill faster foes such as Obstagoon.

Lycanroc-D also provides extra priority if Mimikyu fails to clean late-game. Due to Mimikyu's low i wouldn't say "low" here, not sure what the better word would be but it's def quite strong after a boost at least damage output, it appreciates entry hazard support to chip foes into range of its attacks, potentially preventing them from breaking its Disguise. As such, Stealth Rock suers such as Krookodile and Terrakion make good partners. Mimikyu also fits well on Sticky Web teams due to the Speed reduction allowing it to remove threats like Terrakion and Keldeo before they can break its Disguise, so Araquanid is a good partner to set the entry hazard. i would also mention that special araquanid (which is more common rn) is a great way to lure and dispatch of skarm which is one of the biggest threats to mimi. mention that it's a good noiv check on these teams too, or at least something that can take advantage of it

Shadow Sneak boosts Mimikyu's effectiveness as a cleaner, effectively bypassing faster Pokemon that would otherwise check it such as Choice Scarf Jirachi. Its just any Jirachi, since even the defensive sets run enough speed for it. A Jolly nature is required so Mimikyu can revenge kill faster foes such as Obstagoon.

I'd include something in this paragraph about how it also provides powerful safety net for offense teams, as Disguise guarantees that it can be used to check a dangerous threat like SD terrakion or CM Keldeo in an emergency. I know you included it in team options but its honestly worth mentioning in beginning as something rather unique to it through Disguise.

Mimikyu fits best on offensive teams that appreciate its ability to set up easily and clean up a weakened opposing team late-game. These teams also benefit from Disguise enabling Mimikyu to revenge kill a key threat in a pinch. As such, wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Lycanroc-D that can chip or remove checks to Mimikyu such as Skarmory and defensive Incineroar are good partners. Mention Galarian Weezing as a target too, its often used to check Obstagoon/Lycanroc-D and assuming ur Lycan has SE at least they can typically force enough dmg onto it for mmq. Lycanroc-D also provides extra priority if Mimikyu fails to clean late-game. I'd also mention how Lycanroc-D can help weaken Doublade too, its a mon that basically forces you to Sneak if your Disguise is broken, and you need 60% chip to actually kill it at +2, so Lycanroc-D being able to chip away at it trying to switch in to check it and potentially landing a Crunch on switch in is absolutely fantastic for mmq. Due to Mimikyu's low damage output, it appreciates entry hazard support to chip foes into range of its attacks, potentially preventing them from breaking its Disguise. You should definitely also mention how hazards are important to put Jirachi into range of its attacks, since 0 investment sets can still tank a +2 Sneak while bulkier spreads tank one p decently (65-77%). You could also comment on some stuff that can actually chip bulkier Jirachi's into range of Mimikyu too, teammates like Kyurem or Hatterene spring to mind as options. As such, Stealth Rock suers such as Krookodile and Terrakion make good partners. Mimikyu also fits well on Sticky Web teams due to the Speed reduction allowing it to remove threats like Terrakion and Keldeo before they can break its Disguise as well as being a good check to Noivern on these teams, so Araquanid is a good partner to set the entry hazard.
