Mr. Rime doesn't stand out in any single area, but it gets the job done for in-game teams. Its typing leaves 6 weaknesses to cover, which limits where it can switch in safely. Been around since Gen 8. It needs some investment to avoid getting outsped.

Nothing fancy in Mr. Rime's spread. It leans special with Sp. Atk out front. And you'll get 3 Sp. Atk EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

Mr. Rime Weakness

Fragile

Type-wise, Mr. Rime takes extra damage from Fire, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dark, and Steel. Mr. Rime's special bulk (base 100 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

The Sash lets Mr. Rime ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to deal early damage, and Screencleaner squeezes extra value from the position. Flexible EVs EVs push damage output.

The egg pool carries weight here. Confuse Ray and Fake Out aren't available any other way for Mr. Rime, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Future Sight and Blizzard for solid options.

  2. Mr. Rime
    Step 2Mr. Rime ✓

  • Mr. Rime works as an attacker with 520 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list — a situational pick that fills a niche. That 110 base Sp. Atk does the heavy lifting.

  • Mr. Rime's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Scizor (Bug), and Terrakion (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ghost, Dark, and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Mime Jr evolves into Mr. Rime at level 42. Mr. Rime is the final evolution in a 4-stage line starting from Mime Jr. At 520 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • Tangled Feet is the go-to ability for Mr. Rime. It doubles evasion when confused. Its hidden ability Ice Body can work in specific setups. Screen Cleaner is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.

  • Mr. Rime is a special attacker with base 110 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 70 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.

  • Mr. Rime can be found in Legends: Z-A and Sword & Shield.

Since Sword & Shield, Mr Rime has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 8 debut means a shorter history, but Mr Rime has appeared steadily across every generation since.
