To catch Mimikyu, find its specific habitat in your game (like the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart in Sun/Moon, Tagtree Thicket in Scarlet/Violet, or foggy Bridge Field in Sword/Shield), be patient due to its low encounter rate, weaken it carefully (avoiding Poison), and use status conditions like Sleep or Paralysis to make capture easier, preferably with Dusk Balls at night in Sun/Moon or Great/Ultra Balls in other games.

What happens if you see a Mimikyu?

If you look at Mimikyu's true form, you're rumored to suffer a terrible illness or even die from shock or fright, so it wears a Pikachu disguise to attract friends without harming anyone, but it gets upset if its disguise is damaged because it fears its true, shadowy, blob-like self is terrifying.
