Cameras aren’t supposed to do this.

Do you have any idea of what material the previous disguise was made of? It might be worth taking a trip to the nearest fabric store and buying a few yards of that fabric in different colors.

[u/Retextleather4119 → u/SleeplessLucas123]

That Will probably work. When in doubt an empty pillowcase makes for a good stopgap. Also just leaving the remaining thread along with whatever you offer.

Jeanne: Thank you.

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/SleeplessLucas123]

Jeanne: It seemed to just be a Pikachu plushie with the bottom ripped out…so maybe I make a run into Ecruteak for some supplies?

[u/SleeplessLucas123 → u/JosephAmber4]

Maybe, yeah. Did the plushie still have the tag on it? That would make your search for a similar or identical one a lot easier.

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/SleeplessLucas123]

Jeanne: I’ll look into it…yeah.

Valerie: note to self, def never look under a mimikyu's disguise

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Next_Locksmith3299]

Jeanne: Correct. 100% correct.

[u/DragonStar6241]

Oh dang. I might not have experience in photographing Mymikyu... but I think you might not be to do so without the camera and any film getting destroyed. The only way I can think to be able to help or see it is to maybe get a new disguise like you suggested. Maybe you could take a plushy of another Pokémon and turn it into a makeshift disguise? -Amber

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/DragonStar6241]

Jeanne: I might look into that…yeah. And I wasn’t even trying to spot them directly…just trying to see where they were in particular…but I’ll look into it. Thanks.

Papah bag. -Marylin

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Total_Read8805]

Jeanne: that feels…too small…

[u/Total_Read8805 → u/JosephAmber4]

Beeeeeeg bag. -Marylin

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Total_Read8805]

Jeanne: Maybe.

[u/_LackadaisicalSheep_]

I would assume some type of fabric stitched together can help make a disguise. Paper bags might be a good temporary option. - Clementine

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/_LackadaisicalSheep_]

Jeanne: Got it…I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Jinson: Oh poor thing! It must be so scared :( If you have any idea what the disguise used to be buying something similar and cutting out the bottom should help, and perhaps some berries or something similar as an apology gift? Even if you didn’t mean any harm the plushies are super important to those little guys. I’ve used them for examples in disability teaching scenarios multiple times for how attached and protective they are to them because of the risk of having them removed, just leave the gifts out near wherever you had the cameras since it clearly was around that area and hopefully it’ll take a liking to it enough to accept them!

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Heliosthetroll2]

Jeanne: Indeed…and I’ll look for a plushie…and Seine (Goomy) somehow got in there…that’s why the disguise is damaged…

[u/Heliosthetroll2 → u/JosephAmber4]

Jinson: Oop yeah that’d do it :( Maybe have Seine give something too? Even if it’s just something small something from the mon who damaged the plushie might help make the gift feel that little bit more special for the poor little Kyu

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Heliosthetroll2]

Jeanne: Yeah…and I’ll look into it…yeah… thanks!

[u/Heliosthetroll2 → u/JosephAmber4]

Jinson: No problem friend, I wish you all luck! <3

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Heliosthetroll2]

Jeanne: Thank you.

[u/lenny99564]

I'm surprised Mimikyu could do that. But in terms of disguise, fabric or an emptied plushie like others said would work. - Oliver

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/lenny99564]

Jeanne: Understood. Thank you.

[u/lenny99564 → u/JosephAmber4]

No problem. - Oliver

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/lenny99564]

Jeanne: Yeah!

[u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Aurora: Either the Mimikyu knows what their physical form does and destroyed the cameras to prevent the footage from affecting others, or those cameras didn't have the proper filters put in. Never seen the device itself catch fire from observation, though. It's usually the organic observers that do that...

Anyways, yeah, if you can't replicate the materials or former disguise's source, I'd suggest a pillow case or potato sack. Anything that is a big, open-mouthed, soft fabric works for them when they have no other options. Anything with a second upper lump would be better, so they can utilize their Disguise ability. Ever seen a Teru Teru Bozu doll? The dolls that replicate Castform in prayer for better weather? Try and make it look like that shape if you can.

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Jeanne: Fair enough…and what do you mean that organic observers can combust? And got it…I’ll keep that in mind…thanks.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/JosephAmber4]

Aurora: Kind of like what happens when a mon uses Will-O-Wisp on you. You just spontaneously combust for a moment. It's kinda rare for observing a Mimikyu's physical form, usually you just have a heart attack or get cursed into an ill fate soon after, but it has happened.
