Stats & Training
Sp. Def and Sp. Atk carry most of Mime Jr.'s stat budget. HP's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Sp. Def EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Mime Jr. Weakness
Mime Jr.'s Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Filter reduces SE moves damage, further improving the defensive spread. Mime Jr.'s special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Bug, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Psychic |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
