Mimikyu's lore is one of the most heartbreaking in Pokemon, and that doesn't change in Pokopia.

There are over 300 Pokemon in Pokopia, including fan favorites like Pichu and Legendary Pokemon like Lugia. There are even new variations of Pokemon, such as Mosslax. But one Pokemon you can also get is Mimikyu, and its dialogue is guaranteed to make you shed a tear.

Here's how to get Mimikyu in Pokopia, and what to expect when they arrive.

How to Find Mimikyu in Pokemon Pokopia

To find Mimikyu, you'll need to make the Pikachu Corner Habitat. Lucky for you, Mimikyu is the only Pokemon to be attracted to this habitat, meaning once it's built, it's guaranteed they'll spawn.

Both the Pikachu Sofa and the Pikachu Doll can be purchased using the PC in the Pokemon Center. You'll need to wait for those items to be unlocked on your PC to be able to purchase them. If you're in a rush to get Mimikyu, you can try finding both of these items in the overworld.

A Pikachu Doll can be found inside an abandoned house in the southern part of Bleak Beach. The area is surrounded by water, so make sure to transform into Lapras to get to the area safely.

A Pikachu Sofa can be found inside the ruins of the S.S. Anne, also located in Bleak Beach. To reach the ship, you need to transform into Lapras. The Pikachu Sofa is located in one of the higher levels, where the steering wheel is located. If you've found the steering wheel, look for a ladder above two bookcases. Place a block and jump on top of the bookcases. This will allow you to climb the ladder and retrieve the Sofa.

They are an extremely lonely Pokemon that wears a homemade, tattered Pikachu costume to disguise its true form. The Pokemon have often spoken about how "terrifying" and "horrible" they look. Since its true form is said to cause illness and death to those who look at them, they wear a Pikachu costume in the hopes of receiving the same amount of love and attention Pikachu gets.

They just want love - and that's the same in Pokopia. When you first speak to Mimikyu after they've spawned in the habitat, they immediately tell you they aren't scared at all and pretend to act like an adorable Pikachu. However, they realize you realized they're lying and apologize, saying they " just wanted to be friends."

Mimikyu even has some interactions with other Pokemon in Pokopia! During a dialogue with Magenton, the robot Pokemon quickly deduces that Mimikyu's form is not its real form and expresses its desire to see the real Mimikyu. Mimikyu once again talks about how scared people get and how they fall ill looking at them, but Magneton states they'll be fine. Mimikyu then reveals that one day, maybe they will be brave enough to take off their rag.
