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 11 more.
Nothing fancy here. Mr. Mime builds around Life Orb for extra damage on every hit for a health trade, Modest nature for the right stat lean, and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs. Technician does its job quietly.

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 attacker on our tier list.
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.
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 attacker role.
