PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Poison Jab + Brick Break and Grass Knot or Stone Edge

Despite not benefiting from STAB, Poison Jab is chosen over Low Kick due to its superior stats in both damage output and energy gains. 

Brick Break costs the least amount of energy, is useful for baiting shields, and deals decent STAB chip damage for Mienshao's Fighting-type role. Grass Knot provides coverage against popular Water-types in the meta, with a moderate energy cost. Stone Edge requires slightly more energy, but its coverage is wider and also threatens Mienshao's weakness to Flying-type Pokemon. 

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 0 / 5

Mienshao's high offensive stat renders it very fragile in Great League, comparable to Haunter or Gengar. Unfortunately its poor moveset and lack of synergy prevents it from winning most meta matchups. A Fighting-type Pokemon with a Poison-type fast move that's resisted by Steel and Rock (which is what Fighting-types are supposed to beat), combined with poor Fighting-type charge move damage, and.... Grass-type or Rock-type coverage? At the very least Mienshao can beat the popular Fairy-type Azumarill, but that alone is not enough to justify its use. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Mienshao's bulk and moveset problems haven't left it in Ultra League, making it unusable. 

Master League: 0 / 5

As a Fighting-type, Meinshao can only chip just over half of Snorlax's max HP before fainting. Not a good sign.
