'''Mimikyu''' ({{ja|ミミッキュ|Mimikkyu}}, ''Mimikkyu'') is a creature from the ''Pokémon'' franchise.

==Origin==
[[File:M-LSF-ZMove.gif|thumb|left|Mimikyu attacking with its Z-move, Let's Snuggle Forever, from ''Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon''.]]
{{pkmn|Mimikyu}} is a Ghost/Fairy type Pokémon that debuted in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation VII}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #778 as the "Disguise Pokémon". Its true form is unknown, as it covers itself under a cloth that resembles {{pkmn|Pikachu}}; it is said that looking at its true form would kill the viewer or afflict them with a terrible illness. As a result, Mimikyu is a rather lonely and resentful Pokémon; the reason it disguises itself as Pikachu is because of Pikachu's popularity as a species, and Mimikyu wants to make friends as easily as Pikachu can. In the games, Mimikyu's ability is {{iw|bulbapedia|Disguise|Ability}}, which allows it to take no damage for one attack, after which it will go into its Busted Form, a deflated version of itself. The Pokédex states it is very upset when this happens. Due to its disguise highly resembling Pikachu, it is sometimes among the few Pokémon in each region who are commonly referred to as a [[bulbapedia:Appendix:Fan_terminology#Electric_rodents|"Pikaclone"]], though it lacks the Electric typing.

Some official sources list its attack in ''Smash'' as Disguise,<ref>大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL オフィシャルガイド, Official Japanese Smash Ultimate Guidebook</ref> while others list it as {{iw|bulbapedia|Let's Snuggle Forever|move}},<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/super-smash-bros-ultimate SSBU on pokemon.com]</ref> its signature Z-Move introduced in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon===
{{cquote|''Mimikyu drags a nearby opponent under its rag and attacks them! The opponent cannot move while captured by Mimikyu, and if they end up with more than {{rollover|100%|actually 90%|?}}{{sic}} damage after the attack, they'll be instantly KO'd.''|cite=[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/ Super Smash Blog]|source=[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]]}}
[[File:Mimikyu Fox KO.gif|thumb|left|Mimikyu grabs {{SSBU|Fox}}, deals damage, and delivers an instant KO.]]
Mimikyu appears as a Poké Ball summon. After getting close to its opponent, Mimikyu grabs the opponent with its tentacles and drags them under its cloth, where it proceeds to deal damage for a few seconds before releasing them. The amount of time that the opponent stays trapped inside Mimikyu is dependent on how much damage the opponent suffered before getting grabbed, up to 999% damage. If the trapped fighter reaches 90% [[damage]] by the end of the attack, they are [[instant KO|instantly KO'd]]. Like [[Gulpin]], other players can attack the opponent trapped inside Mimikyu.

Mimikyu has a spawn chance of {{Fractions|40|1463}}. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):

==Trivia==
*The official blog erroneously states that Mimikyu first begins to KO fighters when they are above 100%. This contradicts an in-game [[tip]], which correctly states that Mimikyu first begins to KO fighters above 90%.
*While Mimikyu's name in Simplified Chinese was changed in 2020, this change did not carry over to ''Smash''.
