5th Gen Mienshao

[Ho-Oh]

It's a lucky new year... and you gotta be pretty lucky if High Jump Kick hits! Have you used Mienshao in game before? Did you find it kinda gimmicky or really useful?

 

[XNaut]

I've never used it in battle. I do remember when I used Tranquil against Mienshao, Mienshao would lose half of its hp when its attack misses during the turn when Tranquil was still up in the air from using Fly.

I have used Mienshao in-game before and have found it great fun to use as not only does it get High Jump Kick but also Drain Punch and U Turn among others.

I recall Marshall's Mienshao being very tricky the first time I fought him in the game. It had Jump Kick which is slightly more accurate as well as U Turn to hit my team hard and it outsped everything too.

I used my Mienshao maybe two times before I just let it sit in a computer box for a while. Mine didn't have very good defense stats, so I never used him.

Usually, if I fought someone with a Mienshao, the high jump kick would usually miss, so then their Mienshao ends up fainting without me doing much damage to it.

It's okay, but I don't get what it's supposed to be. It looks like an anteater wrapped in a blanket.

 

[Aisu]

I had it in my box but have never used it, aside from as the butt of some jokes.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I think Mienshao is great. At least it was competitively. Never used it in-game but always found Mienfoo pretty hilarious, and Mienshao by extension. The most Asian-style design out of all the Unova Pokemon imo.

I think I tried it competitively, but can't recall anything about it :D
But I know for sure I wanted to use it in my first run of Black, but didn't in the end, because I had many Humanoid Pokemon.

Mienshao is a beast. One of Unova's better fighting types along with Scrafty.

 

[PokemonPlushGamer]

I think Mienshao is a pretty Fighting Type.

 

[Ninetales]

I love Mienshao, I used her in Pokemon X and she was easily one of my strongest pokemon that I had on the team. She one-hit ko'd just about any Pokemon we'd face in battle!

Mienshao's design concept is unique as well which I adore.

 

[Hikamaru]

The Mienfoo line definitely has to be one of my all-time favourite Fighting-types, mostly due to its speed, its majestic design and its strong moves like High Jump Kick and Drain Punch. I also love how it gets Regenerator for easy healing when you switch out, which makes for a good strategy when used in conjunction with U-turn.

 

[SnowyStormz]

Mienshao is one of my favorite pokemon actually, if I can get ahold of one in a playthrough i'll probably use it.

I like it's design, in the Original BW came way too late to be of any use sadly. Awesome in the Battle Subway with Regenarator.
