Where to find Mimikyu in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Paldea locations

Pokemon trainers looking to find Mimikyu will only have a few wooded areas to check, including the Tagtree Thicket, the wooded area directly above The Great Crater of Paldea, and in the East Province (Area Two) against the river.

Mimikyu does not evolve, but it does have two forms, Disguised and Busted.

The busted form is particularly upsetting, as it looks as though the Pikachu it is dressed as has broken its neck. All around, Mimikyu is deeply unsettling – if weirdly cute – pick for any trainer’s Pokemon team.

Kitakami locations

Mimikyu also makes a return in the Teal Mask DLC expansion, meaning trainers can find it roaming around Kitakami as well.

Mimikyu can be found in the following locations:

  • Infernal Pass
  • Oni Mountain
  • Kitakami Hall
  • Timeless Woods
