RSE & LGFR RBY

MR. MIME Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Psychic Thunderbolt Thunder Wave Seismic TossBarrier Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Psychic Has a ~30% chance to lower the target's Special by 1 stage. Psychic 90 100% Thunderbolt Has a ~10% chance to paralyze the target. Electric 95 100% Thunder Wave Paralyzes the target. Electric N/A 100% Seismic Toss Does damage equal to user's level. Hits Ghost-type Pokemon. Fighting Var Dmg 100% Barrier Raises the user's Defense by 2 stages. Psychic N/A N/A           Other Options: Mimic, Hypnosis/Fire Punch/Ice Punch (Tradebacks). Verdict: Mr. Mime isn't horrible, if you can get over the initial reaction of laughing at his appearance, but he's outmatched by every other Psychic in the game. However, since Psychics were generally invincible in RBY, even Mr. Mime gets a boost by the virtue of being a Psychic himself. Basically, Mime likes to paralyze things and wear them down with Psychic and Thunderbolt. You can Barrier up to cure Mime's awful Defense, but Seismic Toss will provide a consistent way to damage the likes of Exeggutor. With tradebacks, Mr. Mime gets even better, but, unfortunately, Hypno/Alakazam get the Punches too. It seems Mime just couldn't catch a break in RBY.
