Originally, Mr. Mime was a pure Psychic-type Pokemon that wasn’t part of an evolution line. With the creation of the Sinnoh region, Mr. Mime was given a pre-evolution, Mime Jr. Both of these Pokemon are exclusive toPokemon Diamond. This has been carried intoPokemon Brilliant DiamondandPokemon Shining Pearl,in which Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime can only be obtained inShining Pearlvia trading.
Those who purchasedShining PearloverBrilliant Diamondwill find Bonsly and Sudowoodo instead of Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime. To get Mr. Mime, players can either evolve Mime Jr. or they can find Mr. Mime in the wild (Brilliant Diamondonly). As of generation 6, the Mr. Mime line (excluding Galarian Mr. Mime and Mr. Rime, fromSword/Shield) are Psychic/Fairy-type. Meaning they have their Fairy-typing inBrilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.

Catching & Evolving Mime Jr.
Mime Jr. can be caught in the wild onRoute 209.This is to the right of Hearthome City, meaning Mime Jr. can be caught fairly early inBrilliant Diamond. Players can also find Mime Jr. onRoute 210, which is north ofSolaceon Town. In the wild, Mime Jr. has a 25% chance of appearingin the morningwith a 5%during the dayandat night. On these routes, Mime Jr. will be aroundlevels 16-20. Inflict status ailments on it if a Quick Ball doesn’t work.
To evolve Mime Jr., it needs to level up while knowing the moveMimic. Mime Jr. learns Mimic once it reacheslevel 32. If the move is accidentally forgotten,players can give a Heart Scale to the Move Tutorin Pastoria City to have Mime Jr. relearn Mimic.
Once evolved, have Mr. Mime reach level 44 and it will learn the Fairy-type move Dazzling Gleam. This is the only damaging Fairy-type move that Mr. Mime can learn. Meaning if trainers intend on having Mr. Mime go toe-to-toe with Dragon-types, they’re going to want to keep this move.Unlike its Galarian counterpart, Mr. Mime can’t learn Ice-type moves (such as Ice Beam), which are also used to counter certain Dragon-types.
Finding Mr. Mime
Trainers who don’t want to keep Mime Jr. can search for Mr. Mime onRoute 218andRoute 222. On Route 218, it will be level 29-30, while the Mr. Mimes on Route 222 are levels 41-42.
Remember that inShining Pearl, Bonsly and Sudowoodo will appear in Mime Jr. and Mr. Mime’s habitats. Trainers looking to catch every Pokemon in Sinnohwill need to tradefrom someone who hasBrilliant Diamond. They can either get a Mime Jr. or Mr. Mime, then level it up or breed it to get Mr. Mime and Mime Jr. respectively.
