Pokemon leak reveals Mimikyu's true form

Another supposed leak from recent times Pokémon The data breach could have revealed what Mimikyu really looks like under his ghostly disguise. Already in August, Pokémon Developer Game Freak was the victim of a series of massive data breaches that exposed everything from unproduced games to unused Pokémon designs dating back to the original Generation 1 era. The so-called “Teraleak” has dominated discussions about it Pokémon over the past few months, with new information still being uncovered as of this writing.

One of the latest secrets reportedly uncovered in the Teraleak has to do with Mimikyu, a spooky Ghost/Fairy-type Pokémon that was first introduced in 2016 Pokémon Sun and Moon. Mimikyu is best known for its unusual design, where it disguises itself in a ghostly rag that looks Pokémon Series mascot Pikachu. According to lore, Mimikyu is said to wear this disguise to protect himself from sunlight, and it is said that anyone unfortunate enough to see his true appearance will fall victim to a mysterious and potentially fatal illness.

The dark secret behind Mimikyu's costume may have finally been revealed in the already infamous costume Pokémon Data breach as reported by Comicbook.com. Earlier this week, Twitter user CentroLeaks, who has been keeping tabs on rumors and information generated by the leaks, shared alleged concept art of the ghostly Pokémon Mimikyu. This includes an illustration of what it supposedly looks like under its disguise, showing that it is a smaller, ghost-shaped creature that sees through the eyeholes on Mimikyu's “chest.” Mimikyu's Pikachu-like tail is also a fake, as one picture shows both it and the larger disguise removed.

Mimikyu's true appearance may have been leaked

As previously mentioned, this is just a small portion of the tidal wave of leaks, rumors, and scrapped projects that came to light in the wake of the massive Game Freak data breach. Lastly, the starters for the upcoming one Pokemon Legends: ZA have reportedly been leaked, revealing that players may be able to choose from the Kalos region's three starters Pokémon X and Y. This has disappointed some fans Pokemon Legends: ZA There will be no mix of different generations Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Of course, anything revealed in the Teraleak should be taken with a grain of salt for now, and that includes the recently leaked Mimikyu design. After all, it was taken from what appears to be concept art, meaning Game Freak may use a different design if it ever officially reveals what lies beneath Mimikyu's trademark. In the meantime, this concept art will likely spawn fanart about Mimikyu's true appearance, something that has been a mystery until now Pokémon Fans for a long time.
