Mr. Mime is a humanoid Pokémon. When first discovered, it was classed as a Psychic-type, but would later be reclassified as a Psychic/Fairy-type. It is marked as No. 122 in the National Pokédex, though its pre-evolved form, Mime Jr., would be discovered and catalogued years later. Though quite rare, Mr. Mime tend to be found living in suburban areas.
Pokédex Data[]
Mr. Mime has a distinctly human-like form, with a rounded body, chubby head and thin arms and legs. The skin on its head and limbs appears Caucasian pink and it has magenta-coloured circles on its cheeks. It has no nose and bluish-black growths on either side of its head that resembles clown hair.
Mr. Mime's "suit" isn't clothing at all, but is how its body naturally looks, with inflated shoulders and hips, a reddish hemisphere in its belly and curled, toeless feet that resemble the flamboyant shoes that a fairytale elf might wear. Its hands are white with small pink pads on the fingertips, making it appear to be wearing gloves.
Like an actual performing mime, Mr. Mime uses pantomime to communicate and is capable of using this technique from birth. As well as communicating, the motions and gestures it makes also represent how it uses its powers: it is capable of solidifying air molecules around itself, forming invisible barriers to defend itself. It becomes irate if anyone should interrupt its performance and will respond by slapping the offender.
Galarian Variant[]
Mr. Mime evolves very differently in Galar, becoming an Ice/Psychic-type Pokémon. Its appearance is just as bizarre as that of the standard Mr. Mime, if not moreso; the hair-like extensions on its head are spiky and extend down to its cheeks, making it appear to have a mutton-chop hairstyle. It sports a black, triangular nose on its face and its suit-like body consists of a white top with blue shoulder spheres and black pants that cover the legs. Its feet resemble blue shoes with thick soles that appear to be made from ice and its hands resemble mittens, having only thumbs but no distinct fingers. An icy formation is visible on its torso that makes it appear to be wearing a tie.
Unlike the Mr. Mime discovered in Kanto, the Galarian Mr. Mime is less of a pantomime artist and more of a dancer, specializing in tap. It creates patches of ice on the ground wherever it steps and can also create icy formations as it kicks the air by lowering the temperature of the water molecules in the air.
