#122 Mr. Mime
	Pokédex Info Type 1: Psychic Type 2: - Height: 4'03" Weight: 120.0 lb Always practices its pantomime act. It makes enemies believe something exists that really doesn't. Catch it in:
Evolved from: -	Evolves into: -
Locations: Mr. Mime doesn't appear in the wild, but you can get him in a trade. Go to the building South of Diglett's Cave on Route #2 and talk to the guy inside. He will trade you the only Mr. Mime in the game for an Abra (Blue/Red) or a Clefairy (Yellow). Since Abra doesn't appear in Pokemon Blue, you'll need to trade one from Red or Yellow first.
This Pokémon naturally learns the following techniques: LV 01 - Barrier LV 15 - Confusion LV 23 - Light Screen LV 31 - Double Slap LV 39 - Meditate LV 47 - Substitute
Tips: The creepy Mr. Mime -- as rare as a Mewtwo, but nowhere near as strong. Still, if you're looking for a funny, somewhat unsettling Psychic type, this is a good choice. Mr. Mime's got good HP, Speed and Special stats, but his Attack and Defense are only average. To make things worse, his lineup of moves consist of too many status-altering techniques. Barrier and Light Screen are decent defensive moves, but what good are they if you can't damage and defeat your opponent? Luckily, Mr. Mime learns the helpful Confusion technique at a low level. But it will be tough to succeed with this Pokemon on higher levels unless you add Psychic (TM 29), Hyper Beam (TM 15) or Thunder (TM 25) to the list. Mr. Mime's fanciest (albeit again defensive) maneuver is learned at level 47: Substitute. This technique creates a decoy that absorbs some of your opponent's attacks. A good choice if you managed to poison your opponent with another Pokemon prior to switching to Mr. Mime. Psychic Pokemon like Mr. Mime are your best choice against Fighting and Poison Pokemon, but because they have few weaknesses, they can also act as a wildcard of sorts against all kinds of other types. When battling any Psychic type, remember that their biggest weakness is to Bug Pokemon. A move like Pin Missile does wonders, but any other non-Fighting moves work well, too. And remember, never send a Fighting or a Poison (or Ghost) Pokemon into battle with a Psychic. Luckily for Psychic Pokemon, few Bugs actually know any decent Bug techniques -- but if you're stuck using a Psychic type against a powerful Bug, remember that moves like Seismic Toss cause damage regardless of type.
This Pokémon can learn the following HMs and TMs: TM 01 - Mega Punch TM 05 - Mega Kick TM 06 - Toxic TM 08 - Body Slam TM 09 - Take Down TM 10 - Double Edge TM 15 - Hyper Beam TM 17 - Submission TM 18 - Counter TM 19 - Seismic Toss TM 20 - Rage TM 22 - Solar Beam TM 24 - Thunderbolt TM 25 - Thunder TM 29 - Psychic TM 30 - Teleport TM 31 - Mimic TM 32 - Double Team TM 33 - Reflect TM 34 - Bide TM 35 - Metronome TM 40 - Skull Bash TM 44 - Rest TM 45 - Thunder Wave TM 46 - Psywave TM 50 - Substitute HM 05 - Flash
Offense Advantage: Fighting, Poison Disadvantage: Psychic	Defense Advantage: Ghost, Fighting, Psychic Disadvantage: Bug
Origin: Mr. Mime's name pretty much describes what this Pokemon is all about: he's a mime. He doesn't talk and loves to do the Marcel Marceau thing...
