Mime Jr. Weakness

Mime Jr.'s Psychic/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison, Ghost, and Steel. It shrugs off Dragon-type attacks completely. Filter reduces SE moves damage, further improving the defensive spread. Mime Jr.'s special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
