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
GoodType-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.
