>>41926896Drawfriend here, I used Mienshao competitively before they introduced primals and such.
Poison Jab - caught a lot of fairy types off guard
Role Play - for copying lightningrod/intimidate off my Manectric or Huge Power off my Azumarill
Wide Guard - for nerfing scarfed Landos
Drain Punch - usually used after copying Huge Power.
Item was focus sash. Ability was inner focus.
Focus sash would usually trigger on turn 1 after I used role play on Azu, and the Shao was speedy, so OHKOs with DPunch would restore plenty of HP.
I also made good use of mega manectric's intimidate by role-playing that to get a double attack stat drop.
It was a fun experience, and I even took it to nationals a couple of times.
