Is Mr. Mime Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

Psychic/Fairy for the first time in Hoenn thanks to the Gen 6 engine. Mr. Mime is breed-only though, and Gardevoir covers the same Psychic/Fairy combination natively with a Mega Evolution on top. Hard to justify importing.

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.

Pokedex Entry

Mr. Mime is a master of pantomime. Its gestures and motions convince watchers that something unseeable actually exists. Once the watchers are convinced, the unseeable thing exists as if it were real.

Pokemon Omega Ruby / Pokemon Alpha Sapphire

Mr. Mime Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • At 460 BST, Mr. Mime is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Not competitive in its current form.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.

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

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.
