EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD

Even if Conkeldurr goes for Knock of the turn Mimikyu switches in and Twinkle Tackle misses, Play Rough is a guaranteed 2 KO without crits or misses while Knock Off is a 3 hit KO with no crits and likely a 2 hit KO if any crits occur.

Not a counter to Lucario because it cant switch into a close combat followed by an extremespeed which has priority so Garchomp wont get a hit in.

252 Atk Life Orb Lucario Close Combat vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Garchomp: 238-281 (66.4 - 78.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Life Orb Lucario Extreme Speed vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Garchomp: 105-125 (29.3 - 34.9%) -- 12.1% chance to 3HKO
