Mr. Mime (Japanese: バリヤード Barrierd) is a dual-type Psychic/Fairy Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation VI, it was a pure Psychic-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Mime Jr. when leveled up while knowing Mimic.
In Galar, Mr. Mime has a dual-type Ice/Psychic regional form. It evolves into Mr. Rime starting at level 42. All Mime Jr. in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin. Kantonian Mr. Mime is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.
Biology
Mr. Mime is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Blue growths resembling clown hair extend from the sides of its pale pink head, and there is a magenta circle on each cheek. Its jaw is curved inward, resembling the mouth of a wooden dummy. It has a round, white body with a magenta spot in the middle, light pink arms and legs that connect to its body via magenta spheres, and small white coverings over its knees. Its white hands resemble gloves with magenta pads on the tips of its white fingers and its dark blue feet curl upward at the tips.
From birth, this Pokémon is an excellent pantomime. As it matures, it gains the ability to solidify air molecules by vibrating its fingertips. This ability allows it to create invisible objects with its gestures. It punishes those who interrupt its act or are not impressed by slapping them. In the TCG, Mr. Mime is shown to be adept at rock climbing. Mr. Mime is usually very rare but can be found in suburban areas. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, it is hard to tell whether Mr. Mime is either sleeping or pretending to be asleep due to its masterful pantomime skills.[1]
In Generation II, Substitute was its signature move. Prior to Generation VI and in Generation VIII, Mr. Mime and its pre-evolved form, Mime Jr., were the only known Pokémon that could have Filter as an Ability.
Forms
Mr. Mime has a regional form: Galarian Mr. Mime.
Galarian Mr. Mime are mostly blue and white. It also has blue growths resembling clown hair on its pale head; however, these also extend and cover its cheeks, creating a mutton chop style sideburn effect resembling earmuffs. It has wider-shaped eyes and a small blue triangle for a nose. It has a suit-like body comprising a white top, blue shoulder spheres, blue bottom trousers, and a diamond-shaped crystal that resembles a tie. It has mitten-like hands and feet that are more defined, resembling blue shoes with light blue soles, presumably made out of ice.
Through its feet, it is able to control the temperature and create a floor of ice, which it can kick up to act as a barrier. It is widely known in the region for its talent in tap dancing (contrasting Kantonian Mr. Mime's talent in pantomiming) and is likely the result of Mr. Rime's influence over Mime Jr. imitating their dance steps.
Galarian Mr. Mime and its evolved form, Mr. Rime, are the only known Pokémon that can have Screen Cleaner as an Ability.
Evolution
Mr. Mime evolves from Mime Jr.
Galarian Mr. Mime evolves from Mime Jr. and evolves into Mr. Rime.

In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Mimey was left at Cerise Laboratory to look after Ash and his new friend Goh.

Other appearances
A Mr. Mime appeared in POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, where it was encountered by Detective Pikachu and Tim Goodman at Ryme Wharf while they were searching for the source of the R substance. Having previously been interrogated by Tim's father Harry and Detective Pikachu before, it tried to mime an escape but was unsuccessful. Tim and Pikachu then tried interrogating it, but it taunted them and used Barrier to shield itself from any other questioning. This prompted Tim to try and "get inside its head", and he mimed opening the door to Mr. Mime's "room", pouring gasoline on it, and threatening it by miming a lit match. Mr. Mime relented and revealed that it had gotten the R from the "roundhouse", an illegal fight club owned by Sebastian. In their excitement, Tim accidentally dropped the "match", much to Mr. Mime's horror.
Mr. Mime in Pokémon UNITE
- Main article: Mr. Mime (UNITE)
Mr. Mime is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee supporter.
Trivia
- Despite its English name containing a male-exclusive honorific, Mr. Mime's gender ratio is evenly split between male and female.
- This discrepancy is probably due to the fact that Mr. Mime's Japanese name, Barrierd, does not reference gender. Also, Mr. Mime was introduced in Generation I, before the gender mechanic was introduced.
- Based on this, translator Nob Ogasawara was wary about Mr. Mime's English name during localization: "If they make sequels and they give genders to Pokemon, we're going to be hooped."[2][3]
- The Mr. Mime obtained through an in-game trade in Pokémon Red and Blue was nicknamed Marcel. This may have been a homage to the late Marcel Marceau, a French mime artist. However, this was not kept in Pokémon Yellow or Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; the same Mr. Mime is nicknamed Miles in Yellow, and Mimien in FireRed and LeafGreen.
- Galarian Mr. Mime is:
- The only regional form with an exclusive evolved form that evolves from a Pokémon without a regional form of its own.
- The only Pokémon evolved by knowing a certain move that can evolve further.
- The only Galarian form that can have the Hisuian origin mark, due to Mime Jr. being able to have it.
- Galarian Mr. Mime shares its category with Oricorio. They are both known as the Dancing Pokémon.
- Mr. Mime and Lycanroc are the only two Pokémon known to have six possible Abilities between their forms, the most of any Pokémon.
- Mr. Mime is the only wild Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus that can prevent players from battling it, as the barrier it sets up disrupts any Poké Balls that hit it.
Design variations
In all official artwork and in-game sprites prior to the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Mr. Mime only has four fingers. In Pokémon the Series, however, Mr. Mime has always had five fingers.
Origin
Mr. Mime seems to be based on a mime artist, specifically the pantomime of pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes. Its brightly colored body is also reminiscent of a clown and a court jester. The blue growths on its head resemble a fool's cap, and its curled feet resemble a jester's hook-toed shoes. Its curled feet are also reminiscent of modern depictions of elves. Elves are often portrayed as fairy-like beings and in some cases the terms are used interchangeably; this may explain why Mr. Mime was changed to be part-Fairy with the type's introduction in Generation VI. Its jerky animations cause it to resemble a jointed puppet or doll. In Japanese folklore, inanimate objects that are possessed by spirits and come to life are known as tsukumogami.
Galarian Mr. Mime appears to be based on both tap dancers and ice skaters. The soles of its feet resemble tap shoes, the blue spots on the sides of its head resemble earmuffs, its fingers resemble mittens, and the ice on its chest resembles a necktie. Its round body is also reminiscent of a snowman.
Name origin
Mr. Mime is an abbreviation of Mister and mime.
Barrierd may be a combination of barrier (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and weird.
