>>29013492The whole appeal of Voltorb and Foongus is that they mimic Pokeballs, and they evolve. The whole appeal of Zorua is that it disguises itself as other Pokemon, and it evolves.
Point being, Mimikyu can still evolve and have the same niche. It's practically built up for a happiness-based evolution, and it doesn't have any weird move gimmickry like Ditto and Smeargle or Forme gimmickry like Castform and Oricorio.
Is there the chance that it won't evolve? Yes. But it's not a gimmickmon at all, and there's still a chance it will evolve.
