Stats & Training
The stat bars tell the story: Sp. Def carries everything and HP's dead weight. But this Barrier Pokemon still yields 2 Sp. Def stat exp per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Mr. Mime Weakness
Type-wise, Mr. Mime takes extra damage from Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Mr. Mime's special bulk (base 120 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 |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
- Special stat split into Sp.Atk and Sp.Def
