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.

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.

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.
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 leaning toward the special side (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.
