Refrain from excessive use of "easily".
You're quite often muddled with your tenses, please stick to one. For example, this sentence, "Specially Defensive Roserade is one of the best counters to Mismagius, taking next to nothing from Shadow Ball, and has having Natural Cure to take care of Will-O-Wisp." You use "taking", so you must also use "having" not "has". Alternatively, I could have changed "taking" for something like "as it takes". Just be consistent. I myself prefer the last option, although I changed it to the first as that's what you use mostly.
Take that in mind, as otherwise your writing is very good.

[Overview]
<p>While Mismagius may not have changed very much in the transition to generation 5, the metagame sure has, and Mismagius takes advantage of it. Its base 105 Speed is an amazing asset, outspeeding and it allows Mismagius to outspeed many dangerous threats such as Victini, Staraptor, Zapdos, Mew, and Celebi. Mismagius also carries two amazing boosting moves: Nasty Plot and Calm Mind., (comma) and in addition, Mismagius is also one of the only Ghost-types with access to Taunt, which, when combined with Will-O-Wisp and Levitate, make Mismagius an excellent stallbreaker and spinblocker. However, not everything is great with for Mismagius. Its medicore mediocre HP and Defense stats undermine her its above-average Special Defense, and makes her it quite easy to revenge kill, especially with physically-based Scarf users. Despite all this, Mismagius makes for a great Ghost-type, being able to fill many spaces in almost any team.</p>

<p>After a Nasty Plot, Mismagius reaches 618 Special Attack. This, when combined with great Speed, typing, and a fantastic ability make Mismagius a ferocious sweeper. Shadow Ball is Mismagius's primary STAB attack, and it offers great coverage in UU, hitting the common Ghost- and Psychic-types super effectively. Hidden Power Fighting offers prefect coverage alongside Shadow Ball, hitting many resists of Shadow Ball super effectively. Thunderbolt could be used instead to get better coverage on Flying-types and Milotic, but it also loses the 2HKO on Chansey at +6. The last slot is really decided by what item you decide choose to use with Mismagius. Substitute works best with Leftovers, allowing Mismagius to easily set up on Chansey, dodge Sucker Punch, and foil potential revenge killers. Taunt goes works well with Life Orb, also allowing Mismagius to set up on Chansey, (remove comma) and also while stopping any other potential status users that Mismagius can't outright OHKO.</p>
[Aditional Comments] [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The EV spread is as simple as could be: max Speed allows Mismagius to outspeed positive natured base 100s and max Special Attack is to give it as much bite as possible. A Modest nature is completely inadvisable due to Mismagius then being outsped by a bounty of dangerous threats. Psychic can be used if you want to destroy Roserade, but it has literally no use outside of that.</p>
<p>This set appreciates entry hazards support, especially if it happens to run Leftovers. Donphan is a great option to set up Stealth Rock, and it can hit back hard with base 120 Attack. Having extremely powerful set up Pokemon or Choice Band/Specs users is also a good choice, wearing as they can wear down the opposing team for Mismagius to finish off. Honchkrow, Nast Plot Azelf, Choice Band Escavalier, Staraptor, Choice Specs Rotom-H, and Proygon Porygon-Z are just some examples.</p>
<p>Snorlax is one of the best counters to this set, taking even a +2, (remove comma) Life Orb Hidden Power Fighting and KOing back with Crunch. Specially Defensive Roserade can easily take on Leftovers Mismagius, having the bulk to take a +2 Shadow Ball, and either use Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, or simply attack if Mismagius tries to setup a Substitute. Hitmontop easily handles Snorlax with without breaking a sweat thanks to Intimidate and Fighting-type STAB. Roserade can be taken care of with a LO Restalk Heracross set, and Heracross also gets the bonus of becoming extremely powerful due to Guts if it is sleeping. If Mismagius isn't running Substitute, Sucker Punch and Pursuit users can find a place to switch in and trap Mismagius.</p>

<p>By having a great typing and an ability giving it 3 immunities, Mismagius can easily switch into a lot of Pokemon and easily set up a Substitute, (comma) on the switch or to block any kind of status move the opponent decides to throw at it. After getting a Substitute, Mismagius can freely set up a few Calm Minds and it is ready to sweep. With this set, Mismagius can easily set up on those Pokemon that have the potential to cripple every other of its sets without difficulty, (comma) such as Chansey, Clefable, (comma) and Registeel when lacking Iron Head. Shadow Ball it's is the best STAB move attack Mismagius can use, (comma) and in combination with Hidden Power Fighting, Mismagius gets perfect offensive type coverage, hitting every single Pokemon for at least neutral damage. It is also important to note that +6 Hidden Power Fighting 2HKO's 2HKOes Chansey, Mismagius's worst nightmare.</p>
[Aditional Comments] [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The given EV spread ensures that a 0 SpA Celebi's Psychic will never break Mismagius's Substitute with a Calm Mind up. Of course, there are many other EV spreads possible, but 48 HP EVs should always be used as a minimum to let Mismagius use Substitute 5 times. Thunderbolt can be considered an option over Hidden Power Fighting to hit Flying-Types and Water-types for Super-Effective super effective damage, but Hidden Power Fighting has more utility on this set since Thunderbolt can't 2HKO Chansey, even at +6. Although this set is very useful against most walls, it still struggles against Snorlax, which can come in on a Calm Mind, take a Hidden Power Fighting and break the Substitute, letting Mismagius vunerable for physical offensive Pokemon to get an easy revenge kill, since special offensive threats won't do much to Mismagius due to the Special Defense boost it gets from the Calm Mind leaving it vulnerable to being revenge killed.</p>

<p>With access to Taunt, Will-O-Wisp, Levitate, and a great typing in Ghost Ghost typing, Mismagius makes for a great stallbreaker and also works well as a spinblocker. Taunt offers a lot of utility, stopping status moves from hitting Mismagius, halting the opponents attempt to setup entry hazards, and stopping walls from using a recovery move. Will-O-Wisp works amazingly well with Taunt, wasting away the opponent's HP, and allowing Mismagius to offer team support by burning phsyical physical sweepers. Pain Split, while being very unreliable recovery, is recovery nonetheless, and it helps with killing off Chansey quickly. Shadow Ball is for stopping Mismagius from becoming complete Taunt bait, and it hits the many Psychic- and Ghost-types roaming that roam the tier.</p>
[Aditional Comments] [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The EVs are simple: max HP gives Mismagius some much-needed bulk, while Speed is maxed also maximised to outspeed positive natured base 100es and beat opposing Mismagius who that run Hidden Power Fighting, and tie with those who that don't. Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Fighting can be used over Pain Split if you really need a way of hitting Ghost resists, but losing recovery is a bad idea.</p>
<p>Due to the combination of Taunt and Will-O-Wisp forcing a large amount of switches, entry hazards are incredibley helpful to stack up the damage. Mismagius also<space>stops those entry hazards from being spun away, so it's even better. Empoleon can easily set up Stealth Rock, and can easily switch in on Mismagius's weaknesses, while Mismagius can do the same with Empoleon with the exception of Electric. Roserade is also another great partner, being able to setup Spikes and having the Special Defense to switch in on the majority of the Ghost- and Dark-type moves that Mismagius attracts.</p>
<p>Specially Defensive Roserade is one of the best counters to Mismagius, taking next to nothing from Shadow Ball, and has having Natural Cure to take care of Will-O-Wisp. Cobalion is another dangerous threat to Mismagius, being able to outspeed and Taunt Mismagius to render her useless while setting up with Swords Dance or Calm Mind. Nidoqueen can easily handle Cobalion, taking any attack it throws at her and while hitting back with Earth Power. Registeel can handle Roserade with ease, especially if Mismagius uses Taunt prior to Registeel switching in to neutralize the threat of Sleep Powder. Althoguh Although they must be wary of switching in on Will-O-Wisp, faster Pursuit users can easily put Mismagius into a checkmate position. Houndoom in particular is the worst Pursuit user for Mismagius because of Flash Fire, which makes Will-O-Wisp useless.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>A Choice set can be utilized with either Choice Scarf or Specs to revenge kill or hit hard, and Mismagius has access to Trick to ruin walls and counters. Destuny Destiny Bond can be used with Mismagius's great Speed, but finding a moveslot for it is extremely hard. Thunder Wave can be used with Will-O-Wisp to form a Double Status set, but Mismagius often has better things to do. Energy Ball can be used if you really want to screw over Quagsire and Gastrodon, but has no use outside of that.</p>
[Checks and Counters]
<p>Snorlax is the best counter to Mismagius, shrugging off everything but a Life Orb +2 Hidden Power Fighting and or Will-O-Wisp, (remove comma) and KOing with Crunch or Pursuit. Specially Defensive Roserade is also a huge pest to Mismagius, stalling out the Nasty Plot set while also taking on the Support set reasonably well. Weavile also threatens Mismagius, as it outspeeds Mismagius it and has both Pursuit and Night Slash to trap and revenge kill Mismagus respectively. Mismagius is also threatened by physical Offensive Choice Scarf users which can easily revenge kill it when it's not behind a Substitute.
