Mimikyu

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. Even with Shadow Sneak and middling stats, Mimikyu's head-to-head matchups are head and shoulders above anything else in PvP. Its neutral typing and Ghost/Fairy coverage further help it excel as a generalist. The only thing reducing its score is that it's an unknown commodity - we'll see if it has the team success it does in the sims.
