How Mimikyu plays

Play with Mimikyu...or else. Mimikyu leaps at an opposing Pokémon and traps it inside its rag, dealing damage and shielding itself while preventing its “playmate” from being affected by any other Pokémon’s moves. When Mimikyu loses its shield or a set amount of time passes, Mimikyu stops attacking and jumps in a designated direction.
