How to recognize the Mimikyu silhouette
Study the exact outer contour used by this quiz, compare its data fingerprint with 1,024 other artwork silhouettes, then find Mimikyu among four choices.
- Introduced with
- Alola · Generation 7
- Current type
- Ghost + Fairy
One-minute visual check
Can you find Mimikyu without color?
Which silhouette is Mimikyu?
All four choices use the same black-silhouette treatment. Select one outline; names appear only after the answer is locked.
Human-reviewed clues
Trace these four parts of the outline
Follow the edge once from the topmost feature to the base. Every clue below remains visible when color and interior detail are removed.
- 01An oversized tilted head balances on a very narrow neck.
- 02Two uneven pointed ears extend in different directions from the head.
- 03The small cloth-like body flares into a ragged hem close to the ground.
- 04A thin crooked appendage rises beside the body through several tight bends.
Decisive comparison
Mimikyu may suggest Pikachu, but its narrow neck, draped ragged base, and thin crooked appendage replace Pikachu’s solid body, feet, and broad tail.
Data-derived shape fingerprint
What the alpha channel measures
The figures describe this exact 475 × 475 artwork file after transparent pixels are removed. They describe the presented pose, not the Pokémon’s canonical height or body size.
- Visible width
- 64% of canvas
- Percentile 15
- Visible height
- 80% of canvas
- Percentile 37
- Filled bounding box
- 40% filled
- Percentile 18
- Left-right symmetry
- 54%
- Percentile 36
- Edge complexity
- 10.5
- Percentile 58
Percentiles rank this artwork against all 1,025 source images. Higher edge complexity means more boundary changes per unit of filled area; it does not mean the Pokémon is harder for every player.
Algorithmic comparison
Nearby shapes in the 1,025-image index
The index scales and centers each alpha silhouette, checks both left- and right-facing versions, then combines overlap with nine shape measurements.

These are exploratory computer matches, not a claim that players confuse the species. Pose, overlap, and thin appendages can produce surprising neighbors.
Roster context
Use current type and generation to narrow the pool
These counts come from the same 1,025-entry runtime dataset as the quiz. They are elimination clues, not features inferred from the silhouette.
