Play this card and activate the ability to make Mimikyu immune to attacks for the next turn. Then, use Pokémon GO Blastoise to beef if up with 6 energy. Finally, use Thorton on your next turn to swap out Mimikyu V for a V in your discard pile!! If you do the combo right, you can have a damage-free V ready to go

That’s a great idea. Getting PGO Blastoise up and running would be the hardest part, but that’s probably one of the most creative Thorton combos I’ve heard.

Someone on PokeGym has asked what seems to be a fair question. Why does Dummy Doll’s text say “this Mimikyu V” instead of “this Pokémon”? The JP text is also very deliberately saying “Mimikyu V” as opposed to the more generic “this Pokémon” convention they also have. In other words, Dummy Doll might be phrased so as to render this exact interaction invalid. pokemon-card.com’s Q&A doesn’t address it, and the PokeGym thread is chilling out unanswered for about 3 weeks now.

That particular interaction would be sound — because the swap with Thorton wouldn’t occur until after the effect had expired anyway. But I think you’re correct that the phrasing is intended to keep the damage-blocking effect locked specifically to Mimikyu V; if you tried to use Thorton on it on the same turn Mimikyu V was put into play, I’m pretty confident it would wipe the protection effect.
More debateable is what would happen if you swapped to a *different* Mimikyu V, but that’s such a niche and pointless scenario that I don’t believe they’ll ever acknowledge it, unless a new Mimikyu V with different attacks gets printed.

Love the implication here that Acerola DIYs the upholstery of her furniture.
