✮⋆˙Mimikyu (Japanese: ミミッキュ Mimikkyu) is a dual-type Ghost/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Anime

✮⋆˙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 his presence

✮⋆˙Mimikyu was properly caught by Jessie in First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!

✮⋆˙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

✮⋆˙It is unknown what Mimikyu's true appearance looks like. However, glimpses of it are seen, such as its claw, its underside, and its eyes

✮⋆˙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

✮⋆˙Because of this, Mimikyu will become agitated and violently stop anyone from attempting to look underneath its rag

✮⋆˙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

✮⋆˙It uses the disguise to bond more with humans and other Pokémon

✮⋆˙Until recent times, Mimikyu was initially thought by humans to be just a ghost wearing a cloth
