On October 19, 2023, Mimikyu will join the Pokemon Unite roster, and now we have an exact idea of what the character does. The full moveset for the melee All-Rounder appeared. TiMi Studio also confirmed that this will be an intermediate difficulty character to use.
The official rundown noted Mimikyu’s offense is its highest stat, at four stars, with its mobility at three and a half. Its scoring and support stats are both at one star each. It has the Disguise ability, which can reduce damage when it is in Disguised Form and trigger a revenge mark on the person who attacked it to deal increased damage. It goes to Busted Form after this happens, but can head back to usual. Its Unite Move is Play with Me, which shields Mimikyu and lets it deal damage to one enemy.
There are four other moves for the character in game. Move 1 can either be Play Rough or Shadow Claw. It learns one of those two at level five. Move 2 can end up being either Shadow Sneak or Trick Room. One of those two is learned at level seven.
There is also a fairly recent video showing Mimikyu’s various attacks in action. We get to see it face other Pokemon, as well as score some points.
While Mimikyu is the only Pokemon to appear in-game in October 2023, we did see another addition not long ago. On September 14, 2023, Blaziken joined the cast. Prior to that, we saw Mewtwo join the roster for the game’s second anniversary.
Pokemon Unite is available on the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, and Mimikyu will debut in-game on October 19, 2023.
