Mimikyu (ミミッキュ, Mimikkyu) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise, designed by Megumi Mizutani for the 2016 video games Pokémon Sun and Moon. It is referred to as the "disguise Pokémon" in the series due to its appearance, which resembles a ragdoll form of Pikachu, the series mascot.

According to Pokédex entries, Mimikyu is a lonely creature who wears the disguise in order to seek affection from humans within the Pokémon world. In the animated series, some Mimikyu have been shown to be hostile towards Pikachu, often attacking Pikachu on sight. Mimikyu's lore and personality have received positive receptions from both critics and fans of the series.
