Back in Pokémon Sun and Moon, one of the new Pokémon introduced was Mimikyu. This interesting Pokémon is known for its resemblance to Pikachu, and its ability, disguise, which prevents an attack from hitting it for only a single turn. Now, in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Mimikyu is back, and this time with its very own Z move, known as "Let's Snuggle Forever". This powerful move is an upgraded version of the move Play Rough. Read this article if you want to know how to get Mimikium Z so you can have this Z move.

Steps

  1. 1

    Go to the third island, Ula'Ula island, and beat the third trial, Acerola's ghost type trial at the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart if you haven't already. Getting up to at least the point of beating this trial is essential in order to continue on in this article, as you'll need to catch a Mimikyu.

    • Since this is a ghost type trial, and Mimikyu, the totem Pokémon, is a ghost and fairy type, some good Pokémon types to have on your team are ghost and steel types, as Mimikyu has a 2x weakness to them.
    • Avoid using normal, fighting or dragon type Pokémon, as Mimikyu is immune to these move types.

  2. 2

    Catch a Mimikyu in the Megamart. This may be tough, as Mimikyu has an extremely low catch rate of 45, and an also low encounter rate of 5%. Therefore, be prepared with a lot of Great or Ultra balls, as well as your ghost and steel type Pokémon. Also, be prepared to see a lot of Haunters, Golbats and Klefkis.

  3. 3

    Make sure the Mimikyu you've caught knows Play Rough. As stated in the introduction, Let's Snuggle Forever is an upgraded version of Play Rough, so it is essential that your Mimikyu knows this move. Unfortunately, if your Mimikyu doesn't know that move, then you'll have to catch another.

  4. 4

    Beat the rest of the island up to and including Kahuna Nanu's grand trial. If you don't beat the grand trial, then you won't be able to obtain Mimikium Z.

    • Since Kahuna Nanu uses Dark type Pokémon, be sure that you're prepared with Bug, Fighting and Fairy type Pokémon.

  5. 5

    Wait until it is nighttime in your game. This is the only time where you can get Mimikium Z. If you don't want to wait, you can fast forward time on your 3DS.

    • Remember that Pokémon Ultra Moon is 12 hours ahead of the 3DS's time, so plan accordingly.

  6. 6

    Go back to and enter the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart.

  7. 7

    Head straight ahead once you enter, until you reach the corner. Once you reach the corner, start heading west. You should notice the camera will pan as if you're being followed. Keep walking past the checkout counters, and once you walk past the last one, you should be noticed by Mimikyu. Answer "Mimikyu?" when prompted.

  8. 8

    Walk up to the Pokédoll display. Once there, Mimikyu should again appear. You'll want to click on the "Try Picking it Up" option. Mimikyu will like this.

  9. 9

    Go towards the back of the store, near the room for the totem Mimikyu battle. Talk to Mimikyu once again, and you'll be summoned to a room with a Pikachu and Mimikyu.

  10. 10

    Select the "Mimikyu?" option. Once you've selected that option, Pikachu and Mimikyu should disappear, and Mimikyu will leave behind Mimikium Z!

    Community Answer

    In Pokemon, encountering one is a game of chance. Some are common, but Mimikyu is a very rare one to find. You could find one immediately, or it could take over half an hour. They have been known to hang around the Thrifty Megamart (after Route 14). Remember, patience is key!

  • Question

    Can you do this in Pokemon Moon?

    Community Answer

    No, because Mimikium Z was not introduced to the game until Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

  • Question

    Can Mimikyu learn to play rough from breeding?

    Community Answer

    No, the moves available to Mimikyu from breeding are Curse, Destiny Bond, and Grudge.

  • Question

    I caught a Pichu! I want it to evolve into Pikachu but, I need a soothe bell to do that. Where can I get one?

    Community Answer

    In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, the soothe bell can be found on Route 3.

  • Question

    Can you catch Mimikyu in Pokémon Ultra Moon?

    XxVxX

    Yes. You can either catch Mimikyu at the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart after completing Acerola's Ghost-Type Trial, or you can obtain a Totem Mimikyu from Samson Oak on Heahea Beach after collecting 80 Totem Stickers.

  • Question

    Could you give your Mimikyu its Z-Crystal if it learned play rough by leveling up?

    XxVxX

    Yes. Whether it knew Play Rough already, learned it from a Move Tutor or acquired it from leveling up, it shouldn't affect whether or not Mimikyu can be given its Z-Crystal.

  • Question

    Does the method work with totem mimikyu?

    Issac

    Yes, as long as totem mimikyu knows Play Rough, it can be used to get the mimikium z. It is given to you at level 40, and learns the move at level 46.

  • Question

    Can I get it in normal Sun and Moon?

    Issac

    Unfortunately the Mimikium Z can only be found in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

  • Question

    What time can this be found in Ultra Moon?

    Issac

    In Ultra Moon, night time lasts from 6:00 AM to 5:59 PM (6:00-17:59.) This is according to the time on your device, so it can be altered.

  • Since there is no grass in the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart, encounters will occur when you're simply walking around.

  • If you're having trouble remembering the correct options, a good rule of thumb is to just show kindness towards Mimikyu.
