They both are amazing.. it’s really up to synergy

This guy is even faster than mienshao and it has technician. STAB + Technician + Fake Out does HUGE damage to even defensive monsters like blastiose. It has a famous Fake Out + Last Resort combo which is what I run, but it’s gimmicky and I suggest you’d use: Fake Out | Low Kick | U-Turn | Return. Altough it doesn’t have as much attack as Mienshao it still gets technician which gives it some more oomph. Rapid spinners make great partners since Ambipom will be switching constantly.

DK Gets my vote, but I choose because of synergy.

If you want Fake Out, go with Technician Ambipom. It will pack a punch along with STAB. It has U-Turn and a good speed, so it can act as a scout as well. After dealing damage with Fake Out, it can U-Turn out and switch to something else.

I’ve also seen Ambipom with only Fake Out and Last Resort, which is seriously annoying (and a bit gimmicky), especially if you don’t have a ghost type on your team.

I prefer to use Mienshao as a Scarf Pokemon, so Fake Out is useless for it.

In any case:
