PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Hex is superior to Sucker Punch on offense.

  • Shadow Ball is superior to Dark Pulse in almost every way.

  • Magical Leaf, Psywave, and Dazzling Gleam don’t have a real offensive purpose.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Hex and Magical Leaf are the Fast Moves of choice for defense. Hex offers great neutral coverage, higher energy generation, and semi-similar damage post-STAB, while Magical Leaf offers strong Fast Move power and different coverage.

  • Sucker Punch has very similar coverage to Hex, but it's substantially weaker.

  • Psywave is a sub-optimal move on defense.

  • Dazzling Gleam offers coverage against common gym attackers.

  • Dark Pulse can prove to be tricky to dodge and has great neutral coverage.

  • Shadow Ball has the highest per-move damage among Mismagius' Charged Moves, but it's also the easiest to dodge.

PVE Overview

Between Shadows, Megas, and moveset updates, Mismagius has lost all of its real viability in raids. Its damage and bulk are too low, leaving it a very poor investment in general that has little long-term potential.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Hex + Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse

Hex is generally recommended for its superior energy gains along with benefiting from STAB. Sucker Punch lacks STAB and as a result the damage difference between the two fast moves is minimal, but is a step down in energy generation. 

Shadow Ball is powerful with STAB and efficient in Damage Per Energy (DPE), though it has a moderately expensive energy cost. Dark Pulse costs slightly less energy, and is the cheapest charge move option available. Dazzling Gleam provides useful coverage, especially against Dark-type Pokemon, but its high energy cost is unappealing. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1 / 5

Mismagius is a pure Ghost Pokemon, which is rather unique as most Ghost-types in the meta have secondary typings. A high ATK stat consequently results in poor bulk due to the CP cap of this league, making Mismagius rather fragile and more of a risky pick. A cumbersome moveset that lists Dark Pulse as the cheapest charge move option is rather slow compared to the rest of the meta, and the lack of more accessible coverage options puts Mismagius behind other Ghost-types for its role. 

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Challenging Giratina is a tall order in Ultra League, and Mismagius doesn't pose any real threat with its fragility and slow moveset. In formats that exclude powerful legendary Pokemon like Premier Cup, Mismagius doesn't perform too well either due to the same reasons. Consider other Pokemon instead. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Mismagius doesn't have sufficient stats for Master League.
