Mr. Mime is a humanoid Pokémon introduced in the first generation. It originally had no evolutionary line until it was discovered to potentially evolve from a baby form Mime Jr. in the fourth generation.

Information

Mr. Mime is a strange humanoid Pokémon that acts as a mime. It will often partake in acts of pantomime, and if interrupted it will take offense and slap the offender repeatedly. It can often trick enemies into thinking that things exist which aren't really there, although as a Mr. Mime matures it will gain the ability to create invisible walls, making its pantomiming real. These walls are created by a particular force field exuded by its fingers which will harden the air to creating an actual wall.

It evolves from a Mime Jr. when it levels up after learning Mimic (). Mime Jr. can be bred from a Mr. Mime only when Mr. Mime parent is holding Odd Incense during the breeding period.

Other Appearances

• Mr. Mime was featured in an episode of the Pokémon anime where Ash Ketchum temporarily disguised himself as a Mr. Mime to inspire an out-of-work Mr. Mime at a circus in Pallet Town. At the same time a wild Mr. Mime came to Ash's home, and his mom began to take care of it believing it was Ash. That Mr. Mime wound up staying at the house in future episodes and acted as a maid for Ash's mother, being known as Mimey.
• A Mr. Mime also appeared in the Pokémon Adventures manga under Sabrina's ownership, where it originally covered all of Saffron City in a Light Screen to keep it under Team Rocket's control until it was beaten by Red's Pikachu. It later was able to beat Bugsy's Heracross in the Crystal arc. Crystal also obtained her own Mr. Mime by the Emerald arc and similarly used it for special barriers.

Trivia

• Despite gender suggestive title of "Mister" (which is only in its English name), female Mr. Mime also exist. This discrepancy was due to Mr. Mime having been named before the series had an actual gender system.
