[SET COMMENTS]
This set of Mimikyu mainly plays as a way to stall out bulky Pokemon that can't outspeed Mimikyu. Disguise, Curse, Protect, and Substitute are all used in conjunction with each other to first, take a hit from almost any Pokemon and lay a curse on them, then whittle down the opponent's HP, and then once Mimikyu can't use Protect or Substitute anymore, its Salac Berry is activated and it can use Phantom Force for one more turn of immunity, knocking out any foe without recovery. Protect can also be used to scout out Trick from Choiced users like Togekiss. Mimikyu has 4 EVs invested into HP to get an odd number of HP so it can Subsitute four or five times. 252 attack EVs are filled in to maximize the damage output from Phantom Force. 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature allow Mimikyu to speed tie itself along with outspeeding as many threats as possible.

Bulky Pokemon that can take care of fast threats like Cinderace or Choice Scarf Dracovish are good partners for Mimikyu, examples include Whimsicott and Dragapult. Mimikyu also suffers a vulnerability to Haxorus and Excadrill, both running Mold Breaker on their main sets along with a respective Steel-type move, these can be countered, though, by Snorlax and Steelix. Mimikyu can also be shut down by Pokemon using Trick or Taunt, since Trick can trap Mimikyu into using only Curse or any other useless-by-itself move, and Taunt limits move options for Mimikyu. Examples of Pokemon that you need to watch out for which carry these moves are Togekiss and Corviknight. Good team options for Mimikyu to counteract these Pokemon are ones that don't care about Trick or Taunt, like Galarian Darmanitan, or Dracozolt.

This is basically a reject, use the criticism to go and rewrite and clean this up.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set of Mimikyu mainly plays as a way to stall out bulky Pokemon that can't outspeed Mimikyu, normally. Curse is Mimikyu's main move on this set, allowing it to slowly cut down the enemy's HP until it faints, helping secure matchups (weird phrasing) against Bewear and Choice Band Snorlax. Protect and Substitute are used to stall out the opposing Pokemon and faint them after using curse. Protect can also be used to scout out the set of a Pokemon like Galarian Darmanitan (this doesn't do anything against gdarm. Scout trick from choice users is more relevant). Phantom Force is also used as a decently powerful move which can stall out another turn for Mimikyu. Disguise is the most important aspect on this set, allowing Mimikyu to be immune to almost all moves, allowing it to pull of this strategy (weird phrasing. Explain what it does). Salac Berry is used to gain speed after using Substitute enough, and allows it to outspeed more Pokemon (really unclear how this works). Mimikyu's EVs are maximized to outspeed the most Pokemon while still maintaining a decent Attack stat for Phantom Force.

IK this is a mini but you should detail how exactly the set works - curse -> alternate protect sub into phantom force in one explicit thing.
Bulky Pokemon that can take care of fast threats like Cinderace or Choice Scarf Dracovish are good partners for Mimikyu, examples include Mimikyu (???)and Dragapult. Mimikyu also suffers a vulnerability to Haxorus and Excadrill, both running Mold Breaker on their main sets along with a respective Steel-type move, these can be countered, though, by Snorlax and Steelix (This phrasing is awful and you need to explain why mold breaker matters). Mimikyu can also be shut down by Pokemon using Trick or Taunt, since they both limit move options for Mimikyu (this is vague, explain trick matters). Examples of Pokemon that you need to watch out for which carry these moves are Corviknight and Togekiss (wrong order, maybe seperate trick and taunt into individual sections). Good team options for Mimikyu to counteract these Pokemon are Electric- or Fire-types or coverage like Dracozolt, Rotom-Heat, and Galarian Darmanitan. (Should just be generally pokemon that don't care about trick or taunt)

This set of Mimikyu mainly plays as a way to stall out bulky Pokemon that can't outspeed Mimikyu. not needed Disguise, Curse, Protect, and Substitute are all used in conjunction with each other to first, take a hit from almost any Pokemon and lay a curse on them, then whittle down the opponent's HP, and then once Mimikyu can't use Protect or Substitute anymore, its Salac Berry is activated and it can use Phantom Force for one more turn of immunity, knocking out any foe without recovery such as?. Protect can also be used to scout out Trick from Choiced users like Togekiss. Mimikyu has 4 EVs invested into HP to get an odd number of HP so it can Subsitute four or five three times. 252 attack EVs are filled in to maximize the damage output from Phantom Force. 252 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature allow Mimikyu to speed tie itself along with outspeeding as many threats as possible. This really isn't needed, unless theres a specific matchup gained with 252/252.

first paragraphs need more examples, and the actual way you play Mimikyu is kind of confusing, partly bc of the grammar, but you also don't rlly make clear if you play differently w/ faster mons or slower mons. you can make a throwaway starting statement saying "if your opponents slower, simply curse and substitute, but if theyre faster..." then explain.

Bulky Pokemon that can take care of fast threats like Cinderace or Choice Scarf Dracovish not a threat are good partners for Mimikyu, examples include ffs stop saying examples include Whimsicott not a very good cinderace answer and Dragapult. Mimikyu also suffers a vulnerability to Haxorus and Excadrill, both running Mold Breaker on their main sets along with a respective Steel-type move, these can be countered, though, by Snorlax and Steelix. Mimikyu can also be shut down by Pokemon using Trick or Taunt, since Trick can trap Mimikyu into using only Curse or any other useless-by-itself move, and Taunt limits move options for Mimikyu. Examples of Pokemon that you need to watch out for which carry these moves are Togekiss and Corviknight. Good team options for Mimikyu to counteract these Pokemon are ones that don't care about Trick or Taunt, like Galarian Darmanitan p sure corviknight evs for that, or Dracozolt. 252 SpA Togekiss Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dracozolt: 332-392 (103.4 - 122.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

pqs ik we talked in discord, you need a bit of rest. But the facts are wack, and the grammar needs fixing, I'd recommend reviewing the GP standards before putting this back in QC. Mimikyu is a tricky mon, think each mu through
