Mimikyu sits at a 28.16% usage rate, third on the singles ladder, making it one of the most consistent presences in the format. The Ghost-Fairy typing grants it immunity to Normal and Dragon, which lets it switch into physical setup sweepers like Swords Dance users with little risk. Disguise supplies a free one-time shield that absorbs a hit, after which it can layer Swords Dance and begin pressuring the opposing team with Play Rough and Shadow Claw.
Playstyle：Life Orb at 90.8% is the default item, powering Play Rough at 24.9% and Shadow Sneak at 24.5% as the primary offensive moves. Swords Dance at 20.9% is the central setup move, while Shadow Claw at 18.8% covers the Ghost weakness. Adamant nature with 21.3% frequency maximises physical output, and the two leading spreads — 2/32/24/0/0/7 at 21.3% for physical bulk and 2/32/0/0/0/32 at 20.8% for speed — split the metagame roughly evenly. Archaludon at 9.3% handles opposing Steel types, Garchomp at 7.1% patches the Ground weakness, and Volcarona at 5.6% covers Fighting.
At 0.84% usage and 76th place, Mimikyu is virtually absent from doubles. The format demands Protect at 12% and Trick Room at 7.7% as utility investments, and Disguise's one-shot shield loses value in multi-target engagements. Its Ghost-Fairy STAB also struggles against the Steel and Dark types that dominate doubles lineups.
