Mismagius

Mismagius's solid Special Attack and Speed alongside Nasty Plot, its coverage options, and Z-Crystals make it a notable sweeper capable of threatening specially defensive Pokemon like Incineroar, Assault Vest Slowking, and Vaporeon. Mismagius's potency is furthered by useful utility options in Taunt and Protect, which provide it with insurance against status moves as well as faster Choice item attackers like Heliolisk, Passimian, and Braviary. Unfortunately, Mismagius is extremely prone to being Pursuit trapped by faster attackers like Sneasel and Aerodactyl due to its lacking physical bulk and typing. Furthermore, because Mismagius's overall bulk is so poor, it struggles to find opportunities to set up Nasty Plot. Due to its moves being only average in power, Mismagius is heavily reliant on Nasty Plot and Z-Crystals to break many defensive Pokemon like Druddigon, Mega Audino, and Torterra, meaning it often struggles to apply consistent offensive pressure to bulkier builds.
