[SET COMMENTS]
With Choice Specs, Mr. Mime is a dangerous wallbreaker with respectable Speed. Psyshock serves as a spammable STAB move that threatens the majority of the tier. It targeting the opponent's Defense is important, as Mr. Mime is traditionally checked by special sponges and Psychic-types; Psyshock notably OHKOes Muk, 2HKOes specially defensive Clefairy and opposing Mr. Mime, and 3HKOes Munchlax and offensive Grumpig variants. Psychic is an alternative that hits physical walls like Shelgon much harder. Focus Blast primarily targets Steel-types, OHKOing Lairon and Pawniard and 2HKOing Wormadam-S. Focus Blast has the added benefit of also targeting Rock-, Normal-, and Ice-types, OHKOing notable foes like Graveler, Slaking, and Glaceon. Hidden Power Fighting is a more accurate alternative that still OHKOes Lairon and Pawniard, though it only 2HKOes most foes weak to Fighting, leaves Mr. Mime unable to 2HKO certain Pokemon like Wormadam-S, and causes it to lose 1 point in Speed, which leads to it being outsped by opposing base 90 Speed foes, namely Abra and opposing Mr. Mime. Thunderbolt 2HKOes Vullaby and Frillish, two Pokemon Mr. Mime otherwise struggles against. Trick can be used to cripple walls like Wormadam-S trying to switch into Mr. Mime; Healing Wish is an alternative that lets Mr. Mime sacrifice itself to heal a teammate such as Walrein and Lairon. Filter is Mr. Mime's most useful ability, as while Mr. Mime is still extremely frail, it can dodge the OHKO from certain super effective attacks like Leafeon's Life Orb-boosted X-Scissor and Arbok's +1 Sucker Punch.

Mr. Mime best fits on offensive and balance teams looking for a potent wallbreaker. Certain special walls like specially defensive Grumpig and Meganium can wall Mr. Mime, so physical wallbreakers like Kingler and Pikachu and stallbreakers like Walrein and Taunt Emolga work well as partners. Mr. Mime is extremely frail, especially on the physical side, so it's easily revenge killed by faster foes and priority users like Leafeon and Pikachu, respectively. Thus, physical walls and tanks like Solrock, Wormadam-S, bulky Mienfoo, and Lairon are key partners. Checks to Pawniard, like the latter two, are especially important, as it can OHKO Mr. Mime with Sucker Punch and is difficult to wear down due to its resistance to Stealth Rock. Mr. Mime's frailty gives it trouble switching in, so pivots like Vullaby and the aforementioned Mienfoo help in that regard.

Mention how Psychic can be an alternative for greater consistency against physical walls like defensive Shelgon and Wormadam-S Focus Blast primarily targets Steel-types, OHKOing Lairon and Pawniard and 2HKOing Wormadam-S. Focus Blast has the added benefit of also targeting Rock-, Normal, and Ice-types, OHKOing notable foes like Graveler, Slaking, and Glaceon.

Mr. Mime is extremely frail, especially on the physical side, so it's easily revenge killed by faster foes and priority users. Thus, physical walls and tanks like Solrock, offensive Mienfoo not too sure about this, could mention something like Wormadam formes, bulky Mienfoo, or Hippopotas, and Lairon are key partners. Checks to Pawniard, like the latter two, are especially important, as it can OHKO Mr. Mime with Sucker Punch and is difficult to wear down due to its resistance to Stealth Rock. Mr. Mime's frailty gives it trouble switching in, so pivots like Vullaby and the aformentioned Mienfoo help in that regard.
