ctes: This Pokemon is perfect through and through. I can't possibly not award the top spot to it. First off, they make something that resembles Pikachu that is not at all Pikachu when it comes down to it. It's a completely different Pokemon. This is the only "Pikachu" clone that should've ever been made and it's not a true Pikachu clone. Instead it has some fantastic lore regarding Pikachu. How it wants to be Pikachu and literally has a decorated room full of Pikachu merchandise back from Pokemon's first heyday. The trial with Mimikyu is among the best of them. The anime introduces a fantastic Mimikyu that is jealous of Pikachu just like all others, but hates Pikachu instead. Also the lore about what Mimikyu really is below the disguise is so cool. Ghost / Fairy is a super cool unique typing that will be especially lit if they make a better physical fairy type move than Play Rough. Disguise is a fantastic ability in every way. In-game, not a single NPC gets how it works, making Mimikyu quite possibly the best Pokemon to use in the Battle Tree. It's practically a free Swords Dance all the time. Even beyond that Mimikyu is absolutely fantastic to use, with few Pokemon being more fun. It's very good competitively too because of its typing and ability. No other Pokemon resembling Pikachu is any of this, except for Pachirisu being decent in the anime. Mimikyu is so good and I absolutely love it in every way. Everything about it is perfect.

OrangeCrush: A bit of a cliche #1, but well deserved. The overall concept behind Mimikyu is really cool. I hope that Gamefreak steals the idea of having alternate forms where Mimikyu disguises itself as other Pokemon like the Eeveelutions. Additionally, Mimikyu is a lot of fun to use in battle, especially the Battle Tree. Disguise makes setting up a Swords Dance so easy as well as letting you scout your opponent for free.

Drakeryn: "Fool. The art of rhetoric is mine. You may speak in all caps and swear on graves, but I have art. Oh, and I weaved such a delicate basket of lies and deceit." - Lopen

swordz9: The concept for this Pokemon is incredible and why it's my favorite of the generation.

Cybat: The flavor for this guy is really endearing but on top of that it has a fun typing with a solid stat spread and great ability. What's not to love?

Raka_Putra: Aww. Not only is its concept so cute and tragic that makes me wanna protecc it, but It's pretty neat to use in battle. Probably not the strongest, but that free Substitute is cool stuff.

Inviso: Prior to this generation, I didn't have a single Ghost-type in my overall top 25. Thanks to Mimikyu (and one other), I have two. The concept behind this Pokemon is adorable, the design is adorable, and it's actually USEFUL in combat with its ability. I love that Mimikyu exists, I really do. Best Pika-clone ever.
