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.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

The Pokédex entries do not all describe the same fate for those who looked beneath Mimikyu's disguise. Sun mentions a death caused by fear; Shield reports a mysterious illness affecting a researcher. Both accounts emphasise the danger without revealing the appearance concealed by the cloth.
