Will Mimikyu be viable? What tier do you think it'll be in?
>>29874436
Surprisingly decent. Maybe low-UU or RU.
Can anyone post link to all new pokemon's learn moveset and stat, like in OP's pic? I tried digging the archive but couldn't find it.
>>29874436
OU.
Low UU in Singles, D-tier in Doubles
>>29874436
how does Disguise work?
>>29874501
Can you explain that claim? It seems good, but not OU good.
Probably one of the fastest non legendary Pokemon in game so I'm thinking OU.

I think it's like a free protect until it gets hit.
>>29874602
Free substitute would be better example.
>>29874556
Guaranteed swords dance (or z splash!), three immunites
>>29874436
>>Good speed especially for this gen
>>Pretty good defensive stats and type
>>A free substitute for round one letting you do something horrible
>>Like TW or SD
>>Damaging STAB priority move
I think hes going to end up pretty solid but in no expert
Mimikyu is special because it gets a free turn to do whatever it wants, so it can function as an anti-sweeper by tanking a hit and crippling it with t-wave or killing it because it's attack stat is decent, it can set up to sweep itself. Even better is it's two type immunities giving it better switch in opportunities than most mons that want to set up.
however it's stats are still a bit on the low side and doesn't hit very hard without boosts and doesn't have the bulk to function as a full on utility tank
UU at best

Smogon are not official nor your masters
>>29874436
I don't really do smogon games very much, but I can see this thing easily having a lot of use in VGC. It's a safe switch-in, it's at a reasonably high speed tier (especially in the limited pokedex setting) and it also has access to incrediblly versatile support moves (namely thunderwave, toxic, and trick room). Ghost/Fairy typing is also a pretty alright typing, making it immune to fake out, which can synergize really well with trick room (forces your opponent to have to attack it twice if they want to prevent trickroom from going up).
Overall i'd give it maybe like i dunno 6/10 with room for improvement
>>29874624
it still can be status'd
The fact its invincible for 1 turn means it's gonna be pretty interesting
