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.
One of 2 evolutions from Mime Jr's line. Mr. Mime got here , and the other paths lead to different results. Breed through Mime Jr. To get eggs. Mr Rime has 60 more total stats, but Mr. Mime makes up for it with a stronger Sp.Atk gain (+30 from Mime Jr).
How to Evolve
Breed with Mr. Mime to get Mime Jr eggs easily from the Humanshape egg group. Notable egg moves include Charm, Confuse Ray, Fake Out and 12 more.
Psychic is the main STAB option after a Calm Mind boost. Leftovers gives Mr. Mime passive recovery each turn to survive the setup turn, and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs make the boosted hits count. Utility options catches resists.
