Mimikyu @ Ghostium-ZAdamant/Jolly252 Atk/252 Spe/4 SpD-Substitute-Swords Dance-Shadow Claw-Play Rough

Haven’t tried this out, just thought of it now. If you sub first turn and the enemy doesn’t attack, you’d get 2 free swords dances. But on the other hand, if they do and they break your substitute, you pretty much just gave them a free 25 percent of Hp. Follow up question, if they attacked you while you had substitute, would it break the substitute or your ability?

You have to be high, drunk, and half dead all at the same time NOT to attack a Mimikyu. Ain’t no way in hell your opponent will try setting up on a Mimikyu. Shadow Sneak is much more useful because it offers priority to make up for Mimikyu’s mediocre speed stat. Also, a Mimikyunium Z would be better than a Ghostium Z to hit Porygon2 and other bulky normal types. (It also has a much higher base power.) Besides, you’ve created this set assuming you outspeed the opposing Pokémon. What if you don’t, and they use Will-O-Wisp, Scald, or Thunder Wave on you? What if they are a Haze user like Toxapex and Milotic? What if they have Infiltrator? Never assume things will always go your way.
