If you feel like using a Swords Dance set in Gen 9 NU, here is one you can use. You can use this set on Sticky Web teams for speed control. Swords Dance allows Mienshao to boost its attack stat to become a scary breaker. Close Combat is used for Mienshao's Fighting STAB due to it being consistent. Knock Off lets Mienshao remove items from opposing Pokemon and hit Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Slowbro, Mew, Munkidori, Brambleghast, Reuniclus, Chandelure, and Hisuian Typhlosion super effectively. Poison Jab is used to allow Mienshao to hit Sylveon and Pokemon who use Tera Fairy such as Slowbro super effectively. Life Orb is used to boost the power of Mienshao's attacks. Regenerator is used as the Ability so it can recover HP whenever it switches out. Tera Dark is used to give Mienshao a Psychic immunity and a stronger Knock Off so it can beat down Slowbro.
