Treasure chests found in Palworld have been known to give players the opportunity to collect gold and various other items, but appearances by Mimog may make this adventure a little more interesting. Shaped like a regular treasure chest but with eyes and a mouth, Mimog is a trickster pal that will leap at players with an adorable, yet mischievous, nature.

Mimog is a stand-out pal among the various new members of the Paldeck, as it fits a particular niche for players looking to gather some currency for later use. Mimog isn't rare to find, as they are among one of the most common pals in Palworld, but spotting them during exploration is another story.

While there's a wide gulf between regular Pokemon and Palworld, some shared subject material in Pokemon Legends: Z-A should briefly bridge that gap.

Where to Find and Catch Mimog in Palworld

Mimog may be one of the easiest pals to catch 12 of and collect the catch multiplayer bonus, as they are just about everywhere. Thanks to Mimog taking the appearance of a common treasure chest found around Palworld, Mimog can be found in spots where players would normally encounter regular chests.

It's a matter of venturing into the world and looking into every nook and cranny to find Mimog. These cute little pals will always remain perfectly still, mimicking the treasure chests they pretend to be. Luckily, wielding one of the many pal spheres will give their identity away, showing the catch rate above their body.

After attempting to catch Mimog or attacking it on sight, they will shed their impostor appearance and go straight to the attack, revealing their eyes and tongue. Mimog isn't particularly strong, so taking it down and catching it shouldn't pose a problem to newcomers. Just be sure to catch them when they appear, as it may be a while before Mimog shows up again.

One of the easier ways to identify a Mimog is to wait until nightfall. Mimog will fall asleep when the sun sets, prompting the sleep animation and dream bubbles. This will make it easier to sneak up behind while they're asleep, elevating the catch rate significantly.

Mimog Skills & Work Suitability, Explained

Mimog paldeck entry in Palworld

Mimog is a neutral-type pal that has quite a backstory. It's believed that humans who discovered Mimog would mistake it for a treasure chest and attempt to open it, and unfortunately meet their end from a deathly bite. Although they don't have any treasure inside, Mimog does drop quite a bounty.

Whether players catch Mimog or destroy it with a weapon or ally pal, Mimog has the potential to drop Gold Coins, Dog Coins, and Training Manuals (XL). This should give plenty of reasons for players to seek out Mimog, as it is an easier way to build up currency compared to other gold-related pals, such as Mau .

Sadly, Mimog isn't capable of handling its own on the battlefield, and it won't be of much service at the base either, as it only has a Level 1 Gathering work suitability. It makes up for its worth in its partner skill, Unlock. With Mimog out and accompanying the player around the map, it can detect nearby treasure chests and open them up for the player. Its skill level will determine the rarity of the treasure chest it can open, so it's best to build that up quickly.
