'Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon' Latest News: Mimikyu to Have Creepy New Z-Move
With "Pokemon Ultra Sun" and "Pokemon Ultra Moon" releasing later this week, one of its famous characters will receive a new Z-Move — and a creepy one at that.
Polygon reported that Mimikyu from the Alola region will have an exclusive Z-Move called "Let's Snuggle Forever." The move features Mimikyu hidden under a Pikachu costume, which then transforms the Pokemon to a bigger size, enough to hug opponents of any size. It can be summoned by using the item called the Z-Crystal that allows gamers to power up the Pokemon.
Furthermore, the game also released an official trailer showing how the move looks like, which is somewhat an eerie combination of cuteness and horror. According to the game's official website, the "Let's Snuggle Forever" "is a hugely powerful move that outshines even Twinkle Tackle," which is one of Mimikyu's earlier attacks.

When the move is executed, Mimikyu comes from behind its target then covers it using the Pikachu-like cloth it is wearing, before giving its target some "tough love," the description added.
