As a baby Pokemon, Mime Jr. Is mostly a stepping stone. The Mime Pokémon — cute, but not battle-ready. Known as the Mime Pokemon. The stat spread leans into special offense.
Sp. Def and Sp. Atk carry most of Mime Jr.'s stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Mime Jr. Weakness
GoodMime Jr.'s Psychic/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Poison, Ghost, and Steel moves. 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.
This is the baby stage. Mime Jr. Grows into. Want more? Breed the adults. Baby Pokemon sit in the Undiscovered egg group.
How to Evolve
Technician helps Mime Jr. Stick around while dealing real damage. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs for the right balance, and Protect as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.
