The long-awaited Ghost/Fairy-type Pokemon Mimikyu has finally made his debut in Pokemon GO, and players can already get it.

Theory shared in pokemon User CnidariaCoral's subreddit suggests that Mimiku's actual form is that of Clefairy, or rather the Clefairy Poke Doll.

CnidariaCoral supports this theory with evidence that both Clefairy and Mimiku are fairy types, and Mimiku also has the exclusive Let's Snuggle Forever Z-Move. Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Even though this is just a fan theory, it provides surprisingly compelling evidence that has fans thinking more about the connection between Mimikyu and Clefairy, already two of the franchise's most enigmatic creatures.
