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
  1. 1
    The Totem Pokémon is a Level 33 Mimikyu (Ghost/Fairy).
  2. 2
    Mimikyu's Disguise ability allows it to take the first hit without taking damage. You can still inflict a status ailment.
  3. 3
    Mimikyu knows Play Rough (Fairy-type) and Shadow Claw (Ghost-type). It may also know Mimic.
  4. 4
    Mimikyu's allies, such as Haunter or Gengar, can use Hypnosis, which has low accuracy but can be very disruptive.
  5. 5
    Mimikyu holds a Lum Berry, which nullifies the first status ailment inflicted.
  6. 6
    To bypass Disguise, hit Mimikyu with a weak move, preferably one that inflicts a status or side effect.
  7. 7
    Once 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.
  8. 8
    Alternatively, 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.
  9. 9
    Be prepared for Hypnosis from allies. Consider using berries that cure Sleep or other status conditions.
  10. 10
    Upon 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
