Totem Mimikyu

by DrPumpkinz

I really like Mimikyu as a totem, as its ability leads many first-time players to completely waste their Z-move. Astonish was changed to the more useful Shadow Sneak, and Mimic, while fitting for Mimikyu, was changed to Hone Claws to make it even stronger. While I've sung Mimikyu's praises, I'm not a fan of the original allies, as they don't really contribute much outside of Hypnosis support. And unlike pretty much every other totem battle, there isn't really a consistent theme. Since Mimikyu's main deal is mimicking Pikachu, what if it was mimicked by its ally Pokemon? That's where Psych Up comes in. Haunter makes use of the accuracy boost from Hone Claws to land Hypnosis. I originally had Hex over Shadow Ball, but decided it would be too strong. I thought having both Haunter and Gengar was boring, so I replaced Gengar with another denizen of the Thrifty Megamart: Klefki. Klefki makes use of the Attack boost from Hone Claws to power up Play Rough, and has a few status moves to limit the player's options, including using potions (I think).
