Mr. Mime's high Speed and access to Reflect and Light Screen make it ZU's premier dual screens setter. Taunt is another great tool in Mr. Mime's arsenal, letting it stop most entry hazard setters, setup sweepers, and opposing Taunt users in their tracks. Healing Wish lets Mr. Mime sacrifice itself to avoid wasting turns and potentially heal a teammate. Psychic is an alternative that allows Mr. Mime to do damage to its target, preventing it from becoming fodder for faster Taunt and setup users. Maximum Speed investment with a Timid nature lets Mr. Mime outspeed as much of the metagame as possible, with the rest being dumped into HP to maximize its bulk, which combined with Filter makes Mr. Mime extremely hard to OHKO even if it moves second.

Mr. Mime best fits on hyper offense teams looking for a dual screens setter, usually as a dedicated lead. The best partners for Mr. Mime are setup sweepers that appreciate the extra bulk screens provide, such as Whiscash, Arbok, and Simisear. Mr. Mime's fast Taunt can notably support some fringe setup sweepers that need both dual screens and no Stealth Rock on their side of the field to set up, like Mothim and Magcargo. Mr. Mime fears faster Taunt users the most, namely Persian and Emolga, especially if it isn't running Psychic;(ASC) checks to these foes like Lairon and Solrock are thus notable partners, and it's recommended that Mr. Mime be held in the back or switch out if faced with them until it gets a safe opportunity to set up. Not using Mr. Mime as a lead has the added benefit of letting it potentially give a weakened setup sweeper a second wind by using Healing Wish later in the game. Stealth Rock setters like Bibarel and the aforementioned Solrock and Lairon also work well on hyper offense teams, further weakening defensive pieces for their wallbreakers and sweepers.

This Pokemon fears faster Taunt users the most, namely Persian and Emolga, especially if it isn't running Psychic. Checks to these foes like Rock Polish Lairon and Solrock are thus notable partners, and it's recommended that Mr. Mime be held in the back until it finds a safe opportunity to switch in when faced with these foes in team preview.

Include offensive stealth rockers as partners, as bibarel (archen) Solrock and I THINK Lairon have seen strong success with screens mime. Include that the fast taunt can prevent rocks for fringe stealth rock weak setup pokemon that also need additional bulk to set up, such as Mothim Magcargo and other weird shit.
