Mimikyu

Mimikyu (ミミッキュ) is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Physiology
The "body" of Mimikyu shares many similarities to Pikachu. The overall structure of the disguise does resemble Pikachu, but the skin is a grayish-beige color instead of yellow. Its "tail" is made of wood and has a grayish-brown color. The face of the disguise only consists of poorly drawn eyes, cheeks, and a mouth. Two holes appear in the body of the puppet, which are the actual eyes of Mimikyu.

Behavior
Apparently, about 20 years ago, it was sad that Pikachu is more popular than it, so it dressed up like Pikachu in order to it become more popular among trainers.

Anime
Jessie caught a Mimikyu briefly after Team Rocket arrived to Alola.

Origin
Mimikyu is based on a badly-made Pikachu doll.

Etymology
Mimikyu's name is a play on words based on the words "Mimic You".
