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

{{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.

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}}''.

===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%|?}} 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]]}}

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.
