Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
Steel moves are bad against Water/Steel/Electric/Fire.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Mimikyu is: Normal, Water, Steel, Electric or Fire
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Ghost or Fairy ) could also prove favorable.

Physical Sweeper Mimikyu (Disguise)
Mimikyu is a sensational Physical Sweeper in single battles. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Mimikyu's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Mimikyu recover from the recoil damage it may take from Wood Hammer. With Disguise, (mimikyu only) the first hit it takes is blocked and it takes 1/8 hp damage instead.
♦ Play Rough is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Fairy-type move (10% chance to lower the target's attack by 1 stage).
♦ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Rock-type move).
♦ Wood Hammer is a physical 120-base power Grass-type move (has 33% recoil).
♦ Slash is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (high critical hit ratio).
