Mime Jr. (Japanese: マネネ Manene) is a dual-type Psychic/Fairy baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Psychic-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Mr. Mime when leveled up while knowing Mimic.

Biology

Mime Jr. is a small, pink Pokémon with dark blue legs and "hat," which appears crooked and has a white ball on it. A red bump appears on its stomach and a typical red clown nose appears on its face. It has slender arms and small hands. Mime Jr. has a knack for imitating others; it can easily pick up emotions of those around it and imitate them. It has been known to mimic its foes in order to create distractions. Once the foe is confused, it will quickly escape. It likes places where many people gather.

Trivia

Origin

Mime Jr. is based on a mime and a clown. Its secondary Fairy typing and pointed hat indicate that it may also be based on fairy tale gnomes. Its upper body and simple design also suggest that it is a tsukumogami based on a cloth hand puppet, to complement the dummy-like appearance of Mr. Mime.

Name origin

Mime Jr. is derived from the name of its evolution, Mr. Mime.

Manene may be a combination of 真似 mane (mimicry) and nene (Spanish for baby).
