Nasty Plot Galarian Mr. Mime is one of the most threatening sweepers and wallbreakers in the ZU metagame because of its ability to boost its Speed and Special Attack paired with great coverage. Ice Beam is stronger than Freeze-Dry but fails to threaten Water-types such as Pyukumuku, Wartortle, and Seaking that take advantage of Galarian Mr. Mime. After a Nasty Plot, Focus Blast lets it break through bulky Ice-Resistant Pokemon such as Klang, Carkol, and Silvally-Ice. Galarian Mr. Mime can use Rapid Spin on forced switches against Pokemon it threatens such as Hippopotas, Ivysaur, and Vullaby allowing it to outspeed Choice Scarf users such as Stonjourner and Mr. Mime. Eviolite offers Galarian Mr. Mime more bulk to setup and is the privileged item if its team has another way of removing hazard, since without Heavy-Duty Boots, Galarian Mr. Mime is a mediocre Rapid Spin user. Shadow Ball threatens spinblockers and defensive checks such as Shedinja, Dusclops, and Bronzor. Alternatively, Psychic is a secondary STAB that threatens Machoke and Lampent. However, the coverage given by both moves is worse as the one provided by Focus Blast or Rapid Spin's utility. With Screen Cleaner, Galarian Mr. Mime threatens dual screen teams featuring Morgrem or Alolan Vulpix. Whereas with Vital Spirit lets Galarian Mr. Mime setup versus Shiinotic lacking Thunder Wave.
As a result of Galarian Mr. Mime's frailty and several common weaknesses, pivots users such as Raichu, Galarian Linoone, and Beheeyem that can bring it safely pair well with it, giving it setup opportunities. Thanks to its offensive presence and access to Rapid Spin, Galarian Mr. Mime is appreciated on hyper offensive teams and their entry hazards setters such as Krokorok, Charjabug, and Whirlipede; in return Galarian Mr. Mime appreciates their entry hazards, as they weaken its checks such as Klang and Munchlax. Special walls such as Dusclops, Bronzor, and Munchlax can wall Galarian Mr. Mime, but struggle against physical wallbreakers that pair well with Galarian Mr. Mime such as Stonjourner, Machoke, and Gourgeist-L. Moreover, these walls often rely on their Eviolite to handle Galarian Mr. Mime's hits, therefore Knock Off users such as Ivysaur, Emolga, and Persian make for great partners. Teammates such as Dedenne, Shiinotic, and Gourgeist-L are able to sponge priority moves such as Machoke's Bullet Punch, Gourgeist-L's Shadow Sneak, and Pikachu's Fake Out and Extreme Speed that can revenge kill Galarian Mr. Mime.

Choice Specs Galarian Mr. Mime is one of the strongest wallbreaker in ZU with almost perfect coverage. Focus Blast is a great coverage move that threaten Ice-resistant threats such as Klang, Carkol, and Glalie. Psyshock is a secondary STAB move that can 2HKO Fire-types such as Torracat and Lampent, while being stronger than Ice Beam and more accurate than Focus Blast against special walls such as Dusclops, Munchlax, and Lickitung. Shadow Ball is an alternative to it, as it lets Galarian Mr. Mime hit Shedinja, Bronzor, and Dusclops. Trick cripples switch-ins such as Klang and Dusclops. Freeze-Dry can be ran as another STAB move that obliterates Water-types such as Wartortle, Pyukumuku, and Seaking that don't fear Galarian Mr. Mime's other moves, but it is significantly weaker than Ice Beam. Healing Wish and Rapid Spin are utility options, but Galarian Mr. Mime usually prefers the utility Trick provides. With Screen Cleaner, Galarian Mr. Mime can still wallbreak against dual screen teams featuring Alolan Vulpix or Morgrem. Whereas Vital Spirit lets it come on Shiinotic lacking Thunder Wave.
Pivot users such as Vespiquen, Raichu, and Vullaby enable Galarian Mr. Mime to find switch-in opportunities, which can be extremely hard to find factoring its frailty and weakness to Stealth Rock. While Galarian Mr. Mime can threaten Fire- and Steel-types such as Lampent and Klang its coverage, it can be risky for Galarian Mr. Mime to lock into them, therefore Fire- and Steel-types checks such as Whiscash, Machoke, and Krokorok are appreciated. Specially defensive walls such as Lickitung, Dusclops, and Munchlax are only threatened by Psyshock and Trick, therefore physical wallbreakers such as Stonjourner, Fraxure, and Gourgeist-L make for great teammates. Due to its vulnerability to every form of entry hazards, Galarian Mr. Mime enjoy entry hazard control such as Hattrem, Defog Vespiquen, and Rapid Spin Wartortle. It is also vulnerable to moves such as Knock Off and U-turn, therefore Pokemon that are able to switch into them such as itemless Gourgeist-L and Rocky Helmet Corsola are appreciated.
