If i were to give my mimikyu another costume do you think she would wear it? her current disguise has become rather worn, and so i want to pop to the store and get her some fabric to make another costume. I am happy to make another pikachu costune, but do mimikyus feel comfortable wearing a disguise of another type of pokemon? on the subject, would mimikyus appreciate customization? such as putting a bow on their costume.

It actually depends on the mimikyu, anonymous. Some are extremely proud of their costumes and will refuse to exchange it for any reason. Others see a human’s enthusiasm for helping with their costume as a potential bonding moment and will readily allow you to customize, help repair, or even create an entirely new costume for them. It doesn’t hurt to ask your mimikyu if you can help them with their costume. You could even take yours fabric shopping to better communicate your desire with her. Look for any sign that she’s interested in your opinion, including presenting fabrics for you to touch or allowing you to pick eye materials or customizations. If she goes directly to whatever she wants and blocks you from offering any input, then it should be clear that she wishes to create her costume herself, at which point it would be recommended that you allow her to do so.

If, however, you two do end up working on a costume together, remember that when it comes time for her to try her new costume on, you’ll need to avert your eyes until she’s finished. The last thing you’ll want to do is to undo all the hard work you put in bonding with her by accidentally looking at her true form.

Good luck, anonymous!
