Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Def carries everything and HP's dead weight. But this Barrier Pokemon still yields 2 Sp. Def EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Mr. Mime Weakness
Type-wise, Mr. Mime takes extra damage from Poison, Ghost, and Steel. Dragon moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Filter reduces SE moves damage, further improving the defensive spread. Mr. Mime's special bulk (base 120 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Legends: Z-A Mr. Mime Best Moveset
The Sash lets Mr. Mime ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to deal early damage, and Filter squeezes extra value from the position. Max HP and Speed EVs push damage output.

Moves
Most of Mr. Mime's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Future Sight and Dream Eater, but Normal and Bug and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

How to Get Mr. Mime in Legends: Z-A
No wild encounters for Mr. Mime in Legends: Z-A. Bring Mime Jr. Over from Diamond, Platinum, or Sword, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
Mr. Mime Guide
At 460 BST, Mr. Mime is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In Legends: Z-A, Mr. Mime's biggest threats include Gengar (Poison), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Scizor (Steel), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.
Mr. Mime gets Technician, Soundproof, and Filter. But Technician is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
In Legends: Z-A, Technician is the hidden ability. It strengthens moves of 60 base power or less to 1.5× their power. Worth hunting for if you want Mr. Mime to compete at a higher level.
Game Availability
Available since Red & Blue, Mr Mime appears in 21 games spanning 10 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
