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 Bug, Ghost, and Dark. 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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Bug, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Psychic |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Mr. Mime Guide
At 460 BST, Mr. Mime is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.
In HeartGold & SoulSilver, Mr. Mime's biggest threats include Scyther (Bug), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Tyranitar (Dark), 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 HeartGold & SoulSilver, 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.
