Mimikyu

ミミッキュ

Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely concealed beneath an old rag. Its diminutive stature makes it one of the shortest Ghost types. Beady black eyes peer through holes in the disguise, while the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body is visible under the hem. Occasionally, it extends a black appendage from under the rag. The veil itself resembles a Pikachu, featuring yellow cloth with black-tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. The head is hollow and can be used to store objects. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to serve as a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backward, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within.
A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. It is unknown what Mimikyu's true appearance looks like. 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. Unfortunately, this attempt makes its disguise look more creepy. Until recent times, Mimikyu was initially thought by humans to be just a ghost wearing a cloth. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Mimikyu mimics Pikachu to the point it even sleeps similar to it. Its relationship to Pikachu can vary between individuals and canons, with some being antagonistic, as seen in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, or can be friendly, as shown in the short, A Mimikyu Bedtime Story.
A special Mimikyu in Alola acts as the Totem Pokémon for Acerola's trial in an abandoned Thrifty Megamart. This Mimikyu possesses Z-Power, an energy that originates from Ultra Wormholes and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Mimikyu and completing the trial is a Ghostium Z.
Forms
Mimikyu has two forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form.
Mimikyu changes into its Busted Form when it is hit by an attack and its neck breaks, causing it to slump over and no longer convincingly resemble a Pikachu. Ordinarily, the rag it wears allows Mimikyu to avoid attacks. Mimikyu will attempt to keep up its disguise, even if its rag is broken. However, if its rag does get damaged or its neck gets broken, it will spend all night patching it in front of a mirror as if its life depends on it. Repairing the rag correctly is often difficult for Mimikyu, so it cries a lot on the inside. It then seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Unforgiving, Mimikyu will take down the culprit at the risk of costing its own life in the process. Mimikyu will never forget the person who damaged its rag for as long as it is still alive.
