    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/67\/Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/67\/Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-8.jpg\/aid9634006-v4-728px-Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Once there, Mimikyu should again appear. You'll want to click on the "Try Picking it Up" option. Mimikyu will like this.

    Talk to Mimikyu once again, and you'll be summoned to a room with a Pikachu and Mimikyu.
  10. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d3\/Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/d3\/Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-10.jpg\/aid9634006-v4-728px-Obtain-Mimikium-Z-in-Pok%C3%A9mon-Ultra-Sun-and-Ultra-Moon-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    option. Once you've selected that option, Pikachu and Mimikyu should disappear, and Mimikyu will leave behind Mimikium Z!

    About how long, in minutes, do you think it would take to encounter a Mimikyu?
    Midmorrow
    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!

      Tips

      • Since there is no grass in the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart, encounters will occur when you're simply walking around.
        Thanks
      • If you're having trouble remembering the correct options, a good rule of thumb is to just show kindness towards Mimikyu.
