What is Pokemon Unite Mr. Mime’s moveset?
Mr. Mime is a great supporter of teammates and in turn, teammates help increase Mr. Mime’s ability to land attacks. A lot of Mr. Mime’s moveset revolves around setting up opponents for greater falls and below, we’ve listed Mr. Mime’s full moveset and the moves we’d recommend taking into battle.
Mr. Mime’s passive attack
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Filter | Passive | Increases Mr. Mime’s defence for a short time |
Mr. Mime’s early game abilities
Between levels one to three, you must pick one of the two abilities below first. For this, we recommend choosing fake out so you can start dealing damage out and build up that much-needed experience.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Fake out | Melee | Seven seconds | Mr. Mime claps his hands together, dealing damage and shoving opposing Pokémon backwards |
| Light screen | Hindrance | Eight seconds | Create a wall of light that prevents opposing Pokémon from passing |
Mr. Mime’s mid-game abilities
At level four, you’ll have an important decision to make about which of the two moves you choose to unlock. At this point in the game, we’d recommend confusion to increase Mr. Mime’s range and ability to deal some decent damage.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Confusion | Ranged | Six seconds | Releases an attack that damages and shoves enemies. If an opposing Pokémon hits an obstacle, it receives increased damage and is stunned. If the opposing Pokémon is currently guard-swapped, it will not be displaced, but will receive increased damage and be stunned. Upgrading increases damage |
| Psychic | Debuff | Six seconds | Damages nearby opponents with a telekinetic blast, affecting any guard-swapped Pokémon, as well as blasting any light screen or barriers, damaging any opposing Pokémon caught in the blast and lowering their special defence for a short time. If opposing Pokémon are hit by more than one blast, they will also be stunned. Upgrading decreases the movement speed of opposing Pokémon for a short time |
Mr. Mime’s late-game abilities
At level six, you decide once again between two. Here we’d recommend a move that supports its other moves, guard swap. This move lowers opposing Pokémon’s defences, which in turn increases the damage Mr. Mime can dish out.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Barrier | Hindrance | Two seconds | Creates a translucent wall that prevents opposing Pokémon from passing. Mr. Mime can place two walls before the cooldown activates. Upgrading increases the maximum number of uses that can be kept in reserve before cooldown |
| Guard Swap | Debuff | 4.5 seconds | Mr. Mime swaps defence and special defence stats with an opposing Pokémon for a short time on impact. The guard-swapped Pokémon also takes damage and has decreased movement speed for a short time, whilst Mr. Mime’s speed is increased. When used on an ally, both the ally and Mr. Mime will have increased speed. Upgrading continually restores the HP of the user and the ally |
Mr. Mime’s end game ability
At level nine, you unlock Mr. Mime’s Unite move, showtime. Use this move during the end game to really put on a display for your opponents (while also hurting them a bit more too).
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Showtime | Area | Mr. Mime jumps to a designated location before launching into a mime performance that deals damage over time to opposing Pokémon in the AOE and leaves them stunned |
