Team building around Mimikyu

Here's my current OU team that I've been testing on the ladder - looking for feedback!

After dozens of iterations, I think I've finally settled on a team that works well together. Let me break it down:

Team Lead

Lead: Garchomp @ Focus Sash

  • Stealth Rock

  • Earthquake

  • Dragon Claw

  • Swords Dance


Garchomp has been my go-to lead for setting up rocks. The Focus Sash guarantees I get at least one layer up, and if they don't have a Fairy-type lead, I can sometimes steal a KO or set up Swords Dance.

Sweeper

Sweeper: Metagross @ Choice Band

  • Meteor Mash

  • Earthquake

  • Ice Punch

  • Bullet Punch


This thing hits like a truck. Bullet Punch for priority, Ice Punch for coverage against Ground and Dragon types.

What do you think? Any glaring weaknesses I should address? I'm particularly struggling against Rain teams.

Don't give up, fellow trainer! The grind is worth it.

This is exactly what I was thinking! Glad someone put it into words.

How long did this take you? I'm considering trying it myself.

This got me thinking about my own experience with Pokemon.

I'd also recommend checking out some YouTube tutorials on this topic.

Hey! Chomp lead is solid, rocks are super important. How have you been dealing with opposing leads that carry Taunt?

Nice team so far! I've had some success with Mimikyu as a late-game cleaner, but haven't built a team *around* it. What's your general strategy with Mimikyu in this team?
