Mienshao is a Fighting-type Pokemon with base stats of 258/127/163 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,064. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Mienshao may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates.
