Is there a way to kill Mimikyu in a single hit (for SOS hunting)?

Question

I'm interested in SOS chaining for Mimikyu, partially because I like Mimikyu, but mostly because I think it would be a very interesting hunt.

First of all Mimikyu's Ghost-typing would not allow False Swipe to work, so I would have to Soak the Mimikyu first...

But then comes the problem of Disguise. Every Mimikyu that appears will take two hits to kill, causing an extensive and drawn out hunt.

Is there a way to suppress Disguise in a way that I can kill Mimikyu in one turn? Mold Breaker, Gastro Acid, Sunsteel Strike, entry hazards, multi-hit moves, etc? Could I Skill Swap an ability on to Mimikyu so I can Skill Swap it back in to Smeargle? I have done no research and the answer is probably hidden in Bulbapedia, but is there a way?

Keep in mind I can teach Smeargle any move. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Pokémon with Mold Breaker, Teravolt, or Turboblaze will ignore Disguise, hitting through the disguise without busting it. The same is true for the moves Moongeist Beam, Sunsteel Strike, and Photon Geyser as well as the Z-Moves Searing Sunraze Smash, Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom, and Light That Burns the Sky.

Skill Swap, Gastro Acid, and the like appear to fail when used on or by Mimikyu.
Weather and entry-hazards aren't protected by Disguise.
You can hit it with multi-hit attacks (i.e. Water Shuriken). The remaining hits will hit through the now-busted Disguise.

Similar to how I defeated Ryme's Mimikyu during the Gym battle and rematch, Mold Breaker will allow you to OHKO Mimikyu with any move.
