PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Fighting Attacker:
Force Palm
Brick Break
Poor Mienshao! It has an impressive ATK stat of 258 and a great Fast Move in Force Palm, but alas! It lacks a viable Charged Move. 😭
💎 Best PvE moveset: Force Palm, Brick Break
⚔️ Raids
Here’s a cool detail: Mienshao learns Aura Sphere in the main series games, and if it ever gets that in Pokémon GO, it would surpass even Lucario in DPS! 😲
For now, it has to settle for Brick Break, which is a pretty underwhelming move. Niantic, please give it a moveset upgrade! ‼️
🛡️ Gyms
With a terrible DEF stat of 129 and only 163 HP, Mienshao is a lost cause for Gym defense. 😶
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Force Palm
Brutal Swing
Grass Knot - Ultra League:
Force Palm
Brutal Swing
Brick Break
💎 Best PvP moveset: Force Palm, Brick Break, Brutal Swing
🔵 Great League
Mienshao’s chances in the Great League are dismal, as its bulk gets even worse in this format. While it grabs a few wins against expected targets, it is very disappointing overall. 😕
🟡 Ultra League
Things get even worse in the Ultra League, where Mienshao barely does anything notable. Stick to Shadow Machamp, Pangoro, Annihilape, or Primeape for Fighting-type attackers. 🥊
🟣 Master League
Count to five, and Mienshao is already knocked out. 😵
