Mimikyu Best Moveset for the Story

Attack Focused Moveset and Build

Best Tera Types
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Ghost Type Moves
Best Nature Adamant ( Attack, SpAtk)
Best Ability Disguise
Best Held Item
Moveset Play Rough
Shadow Claw
Phantom Force / Shadow Ball
Swords Dance

This moveset and build capitalizes on building Mimikyu's Attack stat with the help of its Ability, Disguise. From there, Mimikyu can execute Swords Dance without taking a major blow from foes thanks to Disguise, and land crushing moves unscathed.

Note that this story moveset varies from its competitive moveset and build.

Tera Types Explained

Mimikyu Best Nature

Nature & Stat Changes Explanation
Adamant
Attack, SpAtk
Physical/Special Attacker

Setting Mimikyu's Nature to Adamant would be great to complement its high SpDef and decent Speed stats. With this, Mimikyu will not only be able to take blows and move swiftly, but also deal massive damage each time it attacks.
Jolly
Speed, SpAtk
Speedy Sweeper

Alternatively, players can opt to go all-out with increasing Mimikyu's Speed stat by setting its Nature to Jolly. This way, Mimikyu has an increased likelihood of moving first and take foes down unscathed.
