Without Technician, Mr. Mime wouldn't see any competitive play. With it? It boosts weaker moves to surprising damage levels, turning modest base stats into a real offensive threat. Psychic/Fairy is solid coverage on top of that. It sits at a decent but contested Speed tier.

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

Good

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.

Nothing fancy here. Mr. Mime builds around Assault Vest for a special bulk boost with no status moves allowed, Calm nature for the right stat lean, and flexible EVs EVs. Technician does its job quietly.

The egg pool carries weight here. Confuse Ray and Fake Out aren't available any other way for Mr. Mime, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Future Sight and Dream Eater for solid options.

    or evolve from Mime Jr. (Step 1)

  • Mr. Mime looks average on paper at 460 BST. But Technician is why it sees play — build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier pivot on our tier list.

  • Mr. Mime's biggest threats include Gengar (Poison), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Scizor (Steel), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • Mime Jr evolves into Mr. Mime after learning Mimic. Mr. Mime is the final evolution in a 4-stage line starting from Mime Jr. It sits at 460 BST in its evolved form.

  • 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.

  • Mr. Mime is a special attacker with base 100 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 90 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. Fits the pivot role.

  • Mr. Mime appears in 21 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

Available since Red & Blue, Mr Mime appears in 21 games spanning 9 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Galarian form in Generation 8.
