Some of us here on Team Prima are trying to round out our Pokedexes in Pokemon Sword and Shield before the Isle of Armor DLC drops in June 2020, so if you’re on the same personal quest then you’re more than welcome to join us! While we’ve been focused on baby Pokemon recently, including tips on how to get the adorable Cleffa, it’s time to turn out focus to something a little spookier. Here are our tips on where to find Mimikyu in Pokemon Sword and Shield. 

Where to Find Mimikyu in Pokemon Sword and Shield

So you want to get your mitts on a Mimikyu, even though its Pokedex entry is incredibly concerning. If you’ve not heard of one, then you probably only skimmed our list last year about the spookiest Pokemon in existence. We’ll break it down for you: someone looked under a Mimikyu’s hood once, and promptly died. Yeah. You’re gonna be hard-pressed to find a Pokemon that’s more cursed. 

However, if you’re absolutely certain and you don’t want to be dissuaded, then we can help you find a Mimikyu in Pokemon Sword and Shield. For one, you’re only going to be able to find this critter when the weather conditions are displaying Heavy Fog. You’re going to have to go to Giant’s Mirror and Bridge Field during Heavy Fog conditions if you really want to find this spooky little rodent thing. If that’s not really your speed, you can net yourself one from completing a 5-star raid. 

Now that you’ve got our advice on where to find Mimikyu in Pokemon Sword and Shield, it should only be a matter of time until you actually pick one up. Just be careful to not look under the rag that’s covering its face for what we imagine is a damn good reason. Do you need help with something else while you adventure around Galar? Check out the following tips and tricks that we’ve put together for aspiring Trainers.
