Jessie's Mimikyu (Japanese: ムサシのミミッキュ Musashi's Mimikkyu) is the first Pokémon that Jessie caught in the Alola region.

History

As a wild Pokémon

Mimikyu first appeared in SM003, where it met Team Rocket in a forest on Melemele Island. Thinking it was a little cute, Jessie decided to catch Mimikyu. Having no offensive Pokémon yet, she threw Meowth at Mimikyu, but the Mimikyu deflected Meowth's Fury Swipes. Losing his patience, Meowth tried to remove Mimikyu's cloth, but was hexed, and had a near-death experience. Jessie and James were able to wake Meowth, but were forced to give up and hide when they heard someone approach, who turned out to be Ash and his classmates. Having noticed Ash's Pikachu, Mimikyu became enraged. Ash attempted to catch Mimikyu, but Pikachu's Iron Tail had no effect. Mimikyu then beat up Pikachu using Play Rough. Before the battle between Pikachu and Mimikyu went too far, Team Rocket stepped in. Meowth jumped at Pikachu with Fury Swipes. But when Pikachu tried to counter, Mimikyu intervened. Speaking through Meowth, Mimikyu told Team Rocket that it would help them against Pikachu, expressing a deep-seated hatred for it. Before it could resume fighting Pikachu, however, a Bewear kidnapped Jessie and James. Meowth was able to get Mimikyu to disengage, and they chased Bewear.

With Jessie

In SM004, Team Rocket and Mimikyu were trapped in Bewear's den. Jessie was attempting to catch Mimikyu with a Poké Ball, because neither Meowth nor Wobbuffet could beat Bewear. But Mimikyu was swatting it away with its tail stick. At some point, James dropped a Luxury Ball he was going to add to his collection. Jessie threw it at Mimikyu, and caught it. At their first battle with Pikachu, Mimikyu was called out and used Shadow Ball, but Pikachu used Electro Ball to intercept. Mimikyu used Play Rough on him and was about to use Shadow Claw, but thanks to Rowlet's Leafage, Pikachu was saved. Before the fight lasted too long, Bewear returned and carried Team Rocket away. While a Rowlet had saved the Pikipek, they did get Bewear's food back.

Personality and characteristics

Unlike most Mimikyu who cosplay as Pikachu so that they can make friends like Pikachu, Jessie's Mimikyu bears an intense grudge towards all Pikachu and only dresses up like one because it is the thing that it despises the most. As a wild Pokémon, Mimikyu agreed to fight alongside Team Rocket so it could fight Ash's Pikachu.

Mimikyu's speech, according to Meowth, is very intimidating. When Team Rocket first met it, both he and the normally chipper Wobbuffet were deeply disturbed by Mimikyu's words.
