Mimikyu

Mimikyu is a Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It first debuted in the games Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

Moveset
Mimikyu’s gimmick reflects its Ability, Disguise, in the Pokémon games. In Smash, the Disguise is broken when Mimikyu has taken 50% damage. The Disguise does reset if Mimikyu loses a stock. While the Disguise is up, however, Mimikyu will take half damage from all attacks. The Disguise can also be broken if it is hit by a strong enough attack to naturally deal 18-24% damage in one hit. When the Disguise is broken, Mimikyu will become much faster, but will take 1.5% more damage than usual, and can be launched farther. He can double jump, but has no additional movement options.

Taunts
Up Taunt: Mimikyu gives off a creepy aura, and its eyes flash stars.

Side Taunt: Mimikyu looks around with its head.

Down Taunt: Mimikyu’s head droops over, releasing some sort of purple smoke. Mimikyu realizes this, and pushes the head back into place. If the Disguise is broken, Mimikyu will attempt to push its head back into place, but the head will droop back over, and it will give up.

Victory Poses
Mimikyu jumps up and down, excited.

Mimikyu starts to walk away, but the camera gets closer. It then quickly turns towards the camera, its eyes flash, and it hisses, making the camera back away.

The screen will show full darkness, then Mimikyu’s eyes will glow from the darkness, looking very close to the camera. The announcer will splash Mimikyu’s name, then the camera will look down quickly, and when it looks back up, all that’s showing amidst the darkness is Mimikyu’s cloth and tail club.
