Mimikyu is the latest addition to Pokemon Unite and is one of the better Pokemon that is available in the game. This particular Pokemon was released during the Halloween event and there are a lot of eyes on this particular Pokemon. Because of that, people are starting to wonder what is the best build for Mimikyu.

Despite being so new to the game, Mimikyu has already climbed up to being an S-Tier Pokemon. That means that there are plenty of reasons why players are starting to wonder what build would be best for this Pokemon. Here, we will go over the best build for Mimikyu in Pokemon Unite.

Best Build For Mimikyu In Pokemon Unite

The best build for Mimikyu in Pokemon Unite is known as the Double Shadow Build. This is when players decide to use both Shadow Claw and Shadow Sneak over the other moves. Although Mimikyu is an All-Rounder class Pokemon, it is meant to deal massive damage and get out of the way quickly. To put it simply, Mimikyu is like an assassin.

Because of this, Mimikyu is actaully best on the Top Lane dealing as much damage as it possibly can. As for Emblems, we recommend that players should put on 6 Brown ones and 6 White ones. There are also great items for Mimikyu that highly focus on increasing damage as much as possible.

Best Items For Mimikyu In Pokemon Unite

The best items for the Double Shadow Build are items that massively increase damage over time. In particular, the Attack Weight, Razor Claw, and Weakness Policy should be the go-to items for Mimikyu in Pokemon Unite. These items will stack up buffs for Mimikyu by getting hit, scoring points, and using moves. All of these items combined will make Mimikyu a force to be reckoned with.

If players are having trouble, the Muscle Band is a great replacement for the Razor Claw for more defense. But one thing that players should go for is the Eject Button for the Battle Item. This will allow players to get out of situations fast so they can be the Shadow Assassin that Mimikyu is meant to be. In combination, everything will work together for Mimikyu to deal massive damage and get out quickly.
