---------------------------------------------
[OVERVIEW]
- May seem outclassed by other Psychic types at first, but actually has better bulk and speed than the others
- Also has Nasty Plot, Encore, and Baton Pass to support it's teammates and put a dent in the opponent's team.
- Bad defensive typing, sporting a weakness to Dark, Ghost and Bug, all common types in LC
- Resists fighting though, which could let it check a couple of Pokemon
- Overall one of the best Baton Passers in the game
[SET]
name: Baton Pass
move 1: Nasty Plot / Calm Mind
move 2: Baton Pass
move 3: Psychic
move 4: Encore / Hidden Power Fire
item: Eviolite / Oran Berry
nature: Timid
evs: 36 HP / 236 SAtk / 236 Spe
ability: Soundproof
[SET COMMENTS]
- Can dent the opponent's team and then give support to yours.
- Nasty Plot with Baton Pass can give some special sweepers a new lease on life.
- Psychic is only attack option and with the abundance of Dark Types it actually is the only one needed.
- Encore can give defensive Pokemon like Ferroseed a hard time
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Calm Mind could be used for Pokemon that are weak in the Special Defense department and for Baton Pass chains, but useless otherwise
- Hidden Power Fire could be used to surprise Steels, but Encore is really important in Mime Jr's game.
- Eviolite is the preffered option here because it lets Mime Jr. live an unboosted Crunch from Scraggy, but Oran Berry could be better in some situations.
- Good teammates are fast sweepers who enjoy the boost, like Abra and Gastly
[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Psychic
move 2: Hidden Power Fire
move 3: Thunderbolt
move 4: Trick
item: Choice Scarf
nature: Timid
evs: 36 HP / 236 SAtk / 236 Spe
ability: Filter
[SET COMMENTS]
- As offensive as Mime Jr. gets
- Reaches 21 Speed with Choice Scarf, outspeeding the metagame
- Psychic is STAB and gets the job done fast
- Hidden Power Fire gets Steel types on the switch
- Thunderbolt kills Water types and gives you great coverage
- Trick can screw over defensive Pokemon or anything using Eviolite
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
- Baton Pass could be used in the last slot as a way to cout safely
- Good Teammates are Pokemon who counter other choiced Pokemon, so basically any Pokemon with priority
- Timburr is still good
- Being locked into moves is a horrible thing for Mr. Mime, so try Pokemon that have as good coverage as Mime Jr.
[Checks and Counters]
- Hard to counter for both since since they have Baton Pass and Trick, respectively
- Priority ruins it, so do dark type moves, so pretty much anything with Sucker Punch
- Houndour works, being immune to Psychic and Hidden Power Fire while being able to KO it with Sucker Punch
- The Choice Scarf set is checked easily by Ferroseed unless hit on the switch by Trick or Hidden Power Fire
