mimikos

Mimikos is a fictional creature from the Pokémon franchise. It is a Ghost/Steel type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. Mimikos resembles a small, doll-like figure covered by a crudely drawn Pikachu costume. This costume is its most distinctive feature, as Mimikos is said to be incredibly lonely and created the costume to gain the affection of humans. It is believed to have been originally a different Pokémon that died, and its spirit now inhabits the costume.

The Pokémon's behavior is often described as shy and reclusive. It is known to hide from people and other Pokémon, observing them from afar while wearing its disguise. Despite its outward appearance, Mimikos is not inherently malicious, but its desire for companionship can sometimes lead to unpredictable actions. It is particularly sensitive to being exposed, and if its costume is damaged or removed, it is said to enter a state of extreme distress.

Mimikos possesses unique abilities related to its ghost and steel typing. It can float and phase through solid objects, characteristic of ghost-type Pokémon. Its steel typing also grants it a degree of physical resilience. The energy it uses to maintain its costume and its spectral form is not fully understood. In battles, Mimikos often relies on surprise and its unique typing to outmaneuver opponents. It has a signature move called "Disguise," which allows it to absorb one attack without taking damage.
