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.

  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!

    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!

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

      • 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.
