Battle with Mimikyu in the Play! Pokémon Pokémon GO Championship Series - Pokemon.com

Effective November 16, 2026, Mimikyu will be removed from the list of banned Pokémon for competitive play in Pokémon GO. The dual Ghost- and Fairy-type Pokémon is prepared to bust its way into Play! Pokémon competitions. Mimikyu is unique among Pokémon for its ability to use Disguise to block the first unshielded Charged Attack it faces in battle—a useful tool in a game where Protect Shields are a precious commodity.
