Mr. Rime Weakness

Legends: Z-A Mr. Rime Best Moveset

Nothing fancy here. Mr. Rime builds around Heavy-Duty Boots for hazard immunity on every switch-in, Calm nature for the right stat lean, and max HP and Sp. Def EVs. Screencleaner does its job quietly.

Mr. Rime Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Mr. Rime works as an attacker with 520 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Legends: Z-A's meta. Freezedry with Heavy-Duty Boots is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Mr. Rime's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Scizor (Bug), and Terrakion (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ghost, Dark, and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Tangled Feet is the go-to ability for Mr. Rime. It doubles evasion when confused. Its hidden ability Ice Body can work in specific setups. Screen Cleaner is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • Mr. Rime is a special attacker with base 110 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 70 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the attacker role.

  • In Legends: Z-A, the best way to handle Mr. Rime: Faster attackers outpace it. Anything with a super-effective STAB move and decent speed can revenge kill.

Game Availability

Since Sword & Shield, Mr Rime has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 8 debut means a shorter history, but Mr Rime has appeared steadily across every generation since.
