Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under | Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under an old rag. Its small size makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Ghost}}. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body is visible under the hem. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a {{p|Pikachu}}. The cloth is yellow with black tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. The head is hollow and can be used to store objects. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backwards, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within. | ||
A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. Since this Pokémon is weakened by sunlight, it is rumored that the veil is used for protection. It is believed that seeing its true form will cause a mysterious illness or even a painful death. Mimikyu's disguise is modeled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise, thinking that its disguise would allow it to make friends with people.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Mimikyu]</ref> If its rag is damaged or its neck is broken, it will spend all night patching it. It then seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Mimikyu finds repairing its neck difficult, often causing it to cry. Mimikyu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. | A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise.

Mimikyu (Japanese: ミミッキュ Mimikkyu) is a dual-type Ghost/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Mimikyu changes appearance when hit by an attack.
Biology
Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under an old rag. Its small size makes it the shortest Ghost-type. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body is visible under the hem. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a Pikachu. The cloth is yellow with black tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. The head is hollow and can be used to store objects. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backwards, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within.
A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. Since this Pokémon is weakened by sunlight, it is rumored that the veil is used for protection. It is believed that seeing its true form will cause a mysterious illness or even a painful death. Mimikyu's disguise is modeled after Pikachu because of the popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise, thinking that its disguise would allow it to make friends with people.[1]Unfortunately, this attempt makes it disguise look more creepy. If its rag is damaged or its neck is broken, it will spend all night patching it in front of a mirror. It then seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Unforgiving, Mimikyu will take down the culprit to the point of costing its life in the process. Mimikyu finds repairing its neck difficult, often causing it to cry. Mimikyu is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the Z-Move Let's Snuggle Forever.
In the anime
Major appearances
Jessie's Mimikyu
Mimikyu debuted in Loading the Dex!. Though Ash tried to catch it, it decided to side with Team Rocket instead after spotting Pikachu and becoming enraged by its presence. Mimikyu was properly caught by Jessie in First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!.
Other
A Shiny Mimikyu, nicknamed Mimikins (Japanese ミミたん Mimi-tan), debuted in Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?, under the ownership of Acerola. Unlike regular Mimikyu, Mimikins is an actual ghost of a deceased Mimikyu, and thus can float in the air and pass through solid objects. It has since made further appearances in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.
Minor appearances
A Trainer's Mimikyu appeared in Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Mimikyu debuted in A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart. Sun was tasked with taking a picture of a Totem Mimikyu that lived at the abandoned Thrifty Megamart in order to complete his second trial. After befriending the Totem, Sun caught him and nicknamed him Penny.
In the TCG
- Main article: Mimikyu (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Mimikyu appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, where it uses its signature Z-Move Let's Snuggle Forever on any opponent who gets too close to it. Unlike its depiction in the core series games, Mimikyu grabs its target instead of jumping on top of it. If the target is at 100% damage or more, they will be instantly knocked out, and Mimikyu will leave behind its disguise and presumably depart afterwards.
Mimikyu also appears as a Spirit. If its Spirit is equipped, the fighter will start the match with Death's Scythe.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Mimikyu.
- On October 20, 2016, The Pokémon Company posted a Mimikyu-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled Mimikyu's Song.
- According to an official piece of merchandise, Mimikyu's height does not count the head of the disguise, only the body.[2]
- In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by the Pokémon Company in 2020, Mimikyu was voted the most popular Generation VII Pokémon, receiving 99,077 votes. It was also the third-most popular Pokémon overall.
Origin
Mimikyu's disguise is based on Pikachu, possibly with an 'uncanny valley' resemblance. The execution of the disguise is similar to ghost costumes made from bedsheets. Mimikyu also shares similarities with the Bugul Noz, a Breton myth about a kind and gentle fairy spirit whose horrifying ugliness causes it to be perpetually alone. The fact that Mimikyu's appearance can kill is a reference to Lovecraftian or eldritch monsters; if any person were to see their true forms, they would either be driven insane or die.
Name origin
Mimikyu and Mimikkyu may be derived from mimic and きゅうきゅう kyūkyū (onomatopoeia for squeaking, similar to Pikachu). It may also involve a corruption of 迷宮 meikyuu (mystery).
