Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under a rag. Its small size makes it the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Ghost}}. Its beady black eyes are visible through holes in the body of its disguise, and the fringe of an amorphous foot or lower body is visible under the hem. Occasionally, it will also extend a black appendage from under its rag. The veil itself resembles a {{p|Pikachu}}. The cloth is yellow with black tipped ears. The Pikachu face appears to be drawn with crayons, consisting of black eyes, red cheeks, and a squiggly black mouth. Mimikyu also carries a small stick resembling a lightning bolt to create a tail for its costume. When its disguise is damaged, the costume's head droops limply backwards, revealing Mimikyu's ruse. Larger rips in the costume are accompanied by shadowy vapors pouring out from whatever is hidden within. | Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost entirely hidden under a rag.

A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise. 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. 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.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/mimikyu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Mimikyu]</ref> If its rag is damaged or its neck is broken, it will spend all night patching it. It then seeks revenge on the one that damaged it, fearing that its true identity could have been exposed. Mimikyu finds repairing its neck difficult, often causing it to cry. Mimikyu is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. | A lonely Pokémon, Mimikyu is always covered by its disguise.
