Editor analysis

Mimikyu's special ability blocks the first unshielded Charged Attack it receives; its Defense then lowers by 1 stage the rest of the match, even if it swaps out. This effectively grants Mimikyu a third shield, a massive advantage that far outweighs its drawbacks. It performs best when given shields to delay the debuff. Mimikyu has seen significant play so far this season without Lickilicky as an omnipresent challenge. Its main drawback is its slow pacing.
