Learn how to defeat the Totem Mimikyu in Trial 6 of Pokémon Sun and Moon. Discover its weaknesses, strategies, and the rewards you'll receive.
Walkthrough
- 1The Totem Pokémon is a Level 33 Mimikyu (Ghost/Fairy).
- 2Mimikyu's Disguise ability allows it to take the first hit without taking damage. You can still inflict a status ailment.
- 3Mimikyu knows Play Rough (Fairy-type) and Shadow Claw (Ghost-type). It may also know Mimic.
- 4Mimikyu's allies, such as Haunter or Gengar, can use Hypnosis, which has low accuracy but can be very disruptive.
- 5Mimikyu holds a Lum Berry, which nullifies the first status ailment inflicted.
- 6To bypass Disguise, hit Mimikyu with a weak move, preferably one that inflicts a status or side effect.
- 7Once Disguise is broken, Steel and Ghost-type moves are super-effective against Mimikyu. Be cautious of using Ghost-types due to their weakness to Mimikyu's moves. Steel-types are the best offensive choice.
- 8Alternatively, use Pokémon that resist or are immune to Mimikyu's attacks, such as Normal, Fire, or Poison-types. Salazzle is a good option as it takes reduced damage from Fairy-type moves.
- 9Be prepared for Hypnosis from allies. Consider using berries that cure Sleep or other status conditions.
- 10Upon defeating Mimikyu, you will receive Ghostium Z and 10 Dusk Balls from Acerola.
Tips
- Steel-type Pokémon are the most effective against Mimikyu after its Disguise is broken.
- Consider using Pokémon that resist Fairy and Ghost-type moves, like Salazzle.
- Bring items to cure status conditions, especially Sleep, to counter Hypnosis.
- Ghostium Z
- 10 Dusk Balls
