{{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 having an appearance similar to Pikachu's, it is sometimes among the few Pokémon in each region who are commonly referred to as a [[bulbapedia:Appendix:Fan_terminology#Electric_rodents|"Pikaclone"]].

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.


Its attack resembles "Let's Snuggle Forever", its signature Z-Move.
While official sources list its attack in ''Smash'' as Disguise, it strongly resembles {{iw|Bulbapedia|Let's Snuggle Forever|move}}, its signature Z-Move introduced in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The official blog erroneously states that Mimikyu first begins to KO fighters when they are above 100%. This completely contradicts an in-game [[tip]], which correctly states that Mimikyu first begins to KO fighters above 90%.

*Although Mimikyu seems to be able to use a Z-Move by itself in ''Smash'', much like [[Incineroar]], only [[Marshadow]] has ever been shown capable of using a Z-Move on its own without a trainer with a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal to use it.

*While Mimikyu's name in Simplified Chinese was changed in 2020, this change did not carry over to ''Smash''.
