Jessie's Mimikyu: Difference between revisions

==History==

===As a wild Pokémon===

===With Jessie===

In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', Team Rocket and Mimikyu were trapped in [[Bewear's den]]. Jessie was attempting to catch Mimikyu with a {{ball|Poké}}, because neither Meowth nor {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} could beat Bewear, but Mimikyu kept swatting it away with its tail stick. At some point, James dropped a {{ball|Luxury}} he was going to add to his collection. Jessie threw it at Mimikyu and successfully caught it. During their first battle with Pikachu, Mimikyu was called out and used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Pikachu used {{m|Electro Ball}} to intercept. Mimikyu used Play Rough on him and was about to use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, but thanks to {{AP|Rowlet}}'s {{m|Leafage}}, Pikachu was saved. Before the fight lasted too long, Bewear returned and carried Team Rocket away.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Mimikyu joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

==Personality and characteristics==

Unlike most Mimikyu who cosplay as {{p|Pikachu}} so that they can make friends like Pikachu, Jessie's Mimikyu bears an intense grudge towards all Pikachu and only dresses up like one because it is the thing that it despises the most. As a wild Pokémon, Mimikyu agreed to fight alongside {{TRT}} so it could fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. As seen in ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', it even fights Pikachu when its Trainer told it not to, because of its intense hatred towards him. Every time it sees Pikachu, it always engages in battle, which is helpful for Team Rocket, as it is their lifelong goal to capture Pikachu. However, this has not always worked out in Team Rocket's favor, as shown in ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', when Mimikyu tried to attack Pikachu during the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]], thus disqualifying itself due to the race's rules, much to Jessie's chagrin. This was also shown in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'' when Mimikyu attacked the cage that Pikachu was trapped in with Shadow Claw and that attack ended up allowing Pikachu to get out.

As demonstrated in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', Mimikyu will also often refuse to fight any opponents that are not Pikachu, further displaying its obsession, but it did willingly attack [[DJ Leo#Dugtrio|DJ Leo's Dugtrio]] in ''[[SM023|Getting the Band Back Together!]]'' and a Totem Alolan Raticate in ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]''. It did also attack [[Ash's Rowlet]] in ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'', although it could have done so due to it disrupting its own battle with Pikachu. In [[SM111]], Jessie ordered Mimikyu to use Shadow Ball on a group of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Meltan}}, its lack of interest in battling anything other than Pikachu resulted in it firing a small Shadow Ball which didn't go far. Mimikyu will not always do as its Trainer commands. It spends a lot of its time outside of its [[Poké Ball]], wandering around and generally doing as it likes, including going for a swim, as seen in ''The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!''. Although it did not have a strong relationship with Jessie at first, its bond with its Trainer grew in ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'' when Jessie repaired its torn disguise and Mimikyu protected her from a flock of {{p|Murkrow}}. Since then, its relationship has continued to grow as shown in ''[[SM060|Getting a Jump on the Competition!]]'', when it competed alongside Jessie in the [[Pokémon Sled Jump Games]] and put on a performance with no attempt to disobey its Trainer.
