April Fool’s Mimikyu?



This upcoming Wednesday will be April Fool's Day and the Shockingly Good Time event will have spotlight hour for Pikachu the same day. Could a supposed April Fool's be the drop of Mimikyu in place of Pikachu?

    That is definitely a theory that’s been circulating.

    I thought it was hooey at first but… honestly… I’m starting to believe it now.

    They will APRIL FOOL us and just give us regular pikachu

    Fools hope imo, no way $copely could do such cool suprise, they gonna release him behind a paywall, some Halloween Go Pass or other bs

    We should get news round 3-5 Pm EST. From Kiwis

    The web ticket was added to the web store with the internal name “Pika-Who?”. The Go Pass for the event awards “An avatar item” according to the post. A Mimikyu costume was datamined. Why would they not just tell us what the avatar item was, unless they have a reason to keep it hidden (for players who don’t go out of their way to search for the information). Mimikyu was recently added to ban lists for GBL per PokĂ©miners. Other assets regarding Mimikyu were updated too IIRC.

    Make of that what you will.

    Watch the Spotlight ‘Pikachu’ be more like last year’s Pokeballs, or clicking on an apple – you could encounter Pikachu, but you could also get any of the many Pikachu ‘clones’ (Dedenne, Emolga, Plusle/Minun, etc…bonus if they include the usually region-locked Pichirisu).

    IF they toss Mimikyu in, GREAT! Would be so fun to see it as a 1% spawn.

    
and then for game balance and to keep things fair to people who couldn’t play during the hour, I’d post, “Mimikyu will return this Halloween! Until then, Mimikyu can not be used in any Battle Leagues.” Make it fun, but don’t make people FOMO over it.

    Should be Mimikyu that transforms like Ditto into regular Pikachu when you catch it

  10. F4ngDragon

    They will give us Mimikyu… As in, Pikachu in a Mimikyu costume from Halloween

    I hope they never release this dumb thing.

    I seriously want this little guy so damn bad. If they let us down again, gonna be very sad

    I refuse to believe this isn’t an April Fools joke until I actually catch mimikyu myself.

    My guess
 They are gonna appear as pokeballs on the map but when you tap them it’ll be a pikachu, minikyu or other random item. However, they will only very rarely spawn in the wild. They will have an increased chance of spawning near a special lure (magnetic)

    That’s just my guess, No true info guiding it.

    Oh please! I really really hope so, just also please give us a mimikyu in a fair rate not 1:1500 pikachus

    One hour event as the only time it’s available for a while with no announcement so casual players who don’t really pay attention or know enough to figure it out themselves and at a time when I’m rarely able to play is about how they’d release Mimikyu so I can’t get it and many players who aren’t keeping up with the latest rumors won’t either sounds about right, actually, so I expect we’ll get it.

    What if the April Fool is that we think they’re gonna April Fool us but do absolutely nothing?

  21. RebeeMo

    Anyone else want clown wigs and face paint while I grab some for myself?

  22. longshot21771

    Anyone here in Auckland NZ will be able to verify earlier than here in the States

  23. ChicagoCowboy

    Man I’d rather get “every throw is excellent” from 2 years ago lol

  24. duel_wielding_rouge

    I don’t know if we will get Mimikyu, but I’m bracing myself for players to be upset with Niantic for giving us Pikachu at an event where they told us they’d give us Pikachu.

  26. madbillsfan

    It’ll be Pikachu in a team rocket hat

  27. IdiosyncraticBond

    We encounter Pikachu. On catch it changes into Mimikyu. Can’t be traded or transferred to home. On April 2, we open our game, and they’ve all changed back to Pikachu . APRIL FOOLS

  28. shawnzy83

    Mimikyu but they are all actually just ditto.

  29. Dazbreezy

    My guess.. Mimikyu spawns on the map.. you tap.. it’s a Pikachu in the Mimikyu costume

  30. Professional_Donut20

    They should have Pikachu spot light hour, where Mimikyu could be disguised as some of them like a ditto. That would be cool!
