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

Good

Mime 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.

Eviolite makes Mime Jr. Bulkier than you'd expect from something that still evolves. Max HP and Sp. Def EVs with Careful nature handle the stat profile. Utility options keeps it from being passive.

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Mime Jr. Picks up Dream Eater and Psychic along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add coverage across 7 types, but the foundation's already strong by then.

  • Mime Jr. hasn't fully evolved yet. At 310 BST, it's not ready for serious battles. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.

  • Watch for Roserade (Poison), Dusknoir (Ghost), and Steelix (Steel) when using Mime Jr.. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • Mime Jr. can evolve into Mr Mime, Mr Rime, and Galarian Mr Mime depending on the method. Mime Jr. is the base form in a 4-stage evolutionary line.

  • Technician is what you want on Mime Jr.. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Soundproof, Filter) work on paper but Technician is what makes Mime Jr. worth using.

  • At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Mime Jr. is a special attacker with base 70 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.

  • Mime Jr. appears in 13 games, including Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver, and Diamond & Pearl.

Available in 13 titles since its debut in Diamond & Pearl, Mime Jr spans 6 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through catching or hatching as a base form in a solid number of games.
