Because of its low HP and ability Mismagius benefits greatly from Vengeful Punch, which lets it do 12 damage to the opponent if they knock it out. This alone allows Mimikyu to come in and clean up almost any multi-prizer with its Worst Gift attack, but Mismagius can also spread damage to the bench which can't be blocked by Manaphy to power up the attack further.

Because of its low HP and ability Mismagius benefits greatly from Vengeful Punch, which lets it do 12 damage to the opponent if they knock it out. This alone allows Mimikyu to come in and clean up almost any multi-prizer with its Worst Gift attack, but Mismagius can also spread damage to the bench which can't be blocked by Manaphy to power up the attack further. In the single prize matchup you typically don't even need to use Mimikyu at all and can just let damage counters rack up, occasionally moving them with Radiant Alakazam.

Qwilfish (Chilling Reign) has a similar ability on a basic, though I think Mismagius' ability to KO Cramorant (Lost Origin) with it's passive damage alone makes it the stronger choice for this type of deck.

I gave this deck a try and I'm absolutely loving it! It's pretty fun and has had good results against meta decks. The only autoloss I've encountered is Cresselia (Lost Origin), everytime you try to build up damage with Mismagius you are just giving it ammo to snipe you. Any suggestions on that regard?

Also, what are your thoughts on adding Kingambit (Obsidian Flames), Lunala (Celebrations) or Crobat (Silver Tempest)? I think they have good synergy with the deck and could be really useful on the endgame.

MrOwO Aaah thank you so much, it's nice to hear someone enjoyed my deck. The Cress matchup is definitely rough - I guess maybe the solution would be to run a higher Boss' count and force them to put more damage counters on a different mon with Gardy's ability or stay trapped taking damage. I absolutely suck at making Zoroark (Evolving Skies) lists but I could also see that working well in here, and then you could theoretically tech Mightyena (Astral Radiance) with Reversal Energy too - which would also deal with Mew VMAX.

At the moment I don't think stage 2s are consistent enough for me personally to want to run them without an immediate major benefit, but Lunala being able to get slowly built up over the course of a game instead of needing to be constantly cycled like Kingambit would definitely make it an interesting add. Let me know if you try anything out.

I got super lazy writing the caption for this but I also think Rescue Carrier and Toy Catcher could be good adds, Toy Catcher in particular would be useful with Crobat to get around Manaphy - though I don't know if this is the best possible pair with Crobat (maybe something like Alolan Raticate (Pokémon GO) or Claydol (Obsidian Flames)? That gives me an evil idea for my  next deck >:])
