What Makes Mimikyu Special?
Mimikyu is a small monster that stands only 8 inches tall. It is both a Ghost-type and a Fairy-type Pokémon.
The Pikachu Disguise
Mimikyu hides its real body beneath an old cloth disguise made to look like Pikachu, the famous series mascot. It drew a simple face on the cloth and uses a wooden stick as a tail. Mimikyu is a lonely creature that dresses this way because it wants to be loved by humans just like Pikachu is.
Special Battle Powers
In battle, Mimikyu uses a helpful ability called "Disguise." This power protects it from taking damage the very first time an enemy attacks. In the games Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, it can use a mighty move called "Let's Snuggle Forever."
Appearances in Other Media
In the anime series, Mimikyu joins the villain group Team Rocket. Unlike friendly Pokémon, this specific Mimikyu dislikes Pikachu and battles it alongside Jessie, James, and Meowth. Mimikyu also appears in the fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and in fun animated cartoons on YouTube.
