Mimikyu

CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Mimikyu has made itself a Pikachu costume to look less frightening. Yet the disguise does not dispel its mystery: its true appearance remains unknown, and one entry recounts the fatal shock of a scholar who looked underneath. Usually calm and solitary, it becomes violently agitated if someone tries to lift its cloth. Its wish to appear less frightening is thus protected by a boundary it refuses to let others cross.

A detail worth noticing

This Mimikyu's first attack Confuses the opponent's Active Pokémon without stating any damage. The second counts all damage counters across all of the opponent's Pokémon and deals 10 damage for each counter. That calculation gives collective significance to injuries accumulated separately across the field.
