Mr. Mime | Pokémon guide

The original mimic, Pokémon’s Mr. Mime, is a force to be reckoned with and one that you can use for your own gain, but only once you know all about it, of course.

Ah, the pantomime. You'd find Pokémon's Mr. Mime up on stage if it existed in the real world, because it's hard to tell just what's going on in this humanoid 'mon's mind. Whether it's asleep or just pretending, don't let your guard down, because this Pokémon packs a punch - let's run through its locations in-game, base stats, moves, and more.

If you want to find this copycat in your local mobile games, Pokémon Go codes or Pokémon TCG Pocket codes are ripe for the redeeming. Even if you can't find Mr. Mime - it's pretty rare - you should at least be able to fill up your Pokédex this way.
