In Galar, Mr. Mime has a dual-type Ice/Psychicregional form. It evolves into Mr. Rime starting at level 42. All Mime Jr. in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin. Kantonian Mr. Mime is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.
Mr. Mime is a bipedal, humanoidPokémon. Blue growths resembling clown hair extend from the sides of its pale pink head, and there is a magenta circle on each cheek. Its jaw is curved inward, resembling the mouth of a wooden dummy. It has a round, white body with a magenta spot in the middle, light pink arms and legs that connect to its body via magenta spheres, and small white coverings over its knees. Its white hands resemble gloves with magenta pads on the tips of its white fingers and its dark blue feet curl upward at the tips.
From birth, this Pokémon is an excellent pantomime. As it matures, it gains the ability to solidify air molecules by vibrating its fingertips. This ability allows it to create invisible objects with its gestures. It punishes those who interrupt its act or are not impressed by slapping them. In the TCG, Mr. Mime is shown to be adept at rock climbing. Mr. Mime is usually very rare but can be found in suburban areas. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, it is hard to tell whether Mr. Mime is either sleeping or pretending to be asleep due to its masterful pantomime skills.[1]
Galarian Mr. Mime are mostly blue and white. It also has blue growths resembling clown hair on its pale head; however, these also extend and cover its cheeks, creating a mutton chop style sideburn effect resembling earmuffs. It has wider-shaped eyes and a small blue triangle for a nose. It has a suit-like body comprising a white top, blue shoulder spheres, blue bottom trousers, and a diamond-shaped crystal that resembles a tie. It has mitten-like hands and feet that are more defined, resembling blue shoes with light blue soles, presumably made out of ice.
Through its feet, it is able to control the temperature and create a floor of ice, which it can kick up to act as a barrier. It is widely known in the region for its talent in tap dancing (contrasting Kantonian Mr. Mime's talent in pantomiming) and is likely the result of Mr. Rime's influence over Mime Jr. imitating their dance steps.
Pokémon Stadium 2: Mr. Mime stars in its own minigame called "Barrier Ball", where they use Barrier to bounce Poké Balls into opposing players' goals while defending their own.

In It's Mr. Mime Time, Ash and his friends came across a Mr. Mime while looking to replace another one meant to perform in Stella's circus. It was later taken in by Ash's mother Delia after it arrived at her house and she mistook it for Ash in a costume. Since then, it has been affectionately nicknamed Mimey. In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Mimey was left at Cerise Laboratory to look after Ash and his new friend Goh.

In It's Mr. Mime Time, Stella used a Mr. Mime in her circus. However, it was lazy and stopped obeying her because she was too hard on it. It eventually listened to her once more when it saw how much she was willing to protect it from Team Rocket.
In Hail to the Chef, a Mr. Mime is the sous-chef of Rhonda. She was competing with her sister Rhoda and her Sneasel for the ownership of her father's restaurant outside of Saffron City. Mr. Mime's cooking was not good, but improved under Brock's tutelage.
Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokémon. It uses pantomime to make actual walls appear. Because it is rarely discovered, information about this Pokémon is extremely limited.
A Mr. Mime appeared in POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, where it was encountered by Detective Pikachu and Tim Goodman at Ryme Wharf while they were searching for the source of the R substance. Having previously been interrogated by Tim's father Harry and Detective Pikachu before, it tried to mime an escape but was unsuccessful. Tim and Pikachu then tried interrogating it, but it taunted them and used Barrier to shield itself from any other questioning. This prompted Tim to try and "get inside its head", and he mimed opening the door to Mr. Mime's "room", pouring gasoline on it, and threatening it by miming a lit match. Mr. Mime relented and revealed that it had gotten the R from the "roundhouse", an illegal fight club owned by Sebastian. In their excitement, Tim accidentally dropped the "match", much to Mr. Mime's horror.
Mr. Mime is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee supporter.
Trivia
Despite its English and French names containing a male-exclusive honorific, Mr. Mime's gender ratio is evenly split between male and female.
This discrepancy is probably due to the fact that Mr. Mime's Japanese name, Barrierd, does not reference gender. Also, Mr. Mime was introduced in Generation I, before the gender mechanic was introduced.
Based on this, translator Nob Ogasawara was wary about Mr. Mime's English name during localization: "If they make sequels and they give genders to Pokemon, we're going to be hooped."[2][3]
Mr. Mime is the only Pokémon to have its English name changed between generations. Prior to Generation III, it was known as Mr.Mime, without the space.
The only Galarian form that can have the Hisuian origin mark, due to Mime Jr. being able to have it.

In all official artwork and in-game sprites prior to the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as in early appearances in the Pokémon Adventures manga, Mr. Mime only has four fingers. However, Mr. Mime has always been depicted with five fingers in Pokémon the Series, including the original series, and from FireRed and LeafGreen onward, it is consistently depicted with five fingers across media.
Mr. Mime seems to be based on a mime artist, specifically the pantomime of pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes. Its brightly colored body is also reminiscent of a clown and a court jester. The blue growths on its head resemble a fool's cap, and its curled feet resemble a jester's hook-toed shoes. Its curled feet are also reminiscent of modern depictions of elves. Elves are often portrayed as fairy-like beings and in some cases the terms are used interchangeably; this may explain why Mr. Mime was changed to be part-Fairy with the type's introduction in Generation VI. Its jerky animations cause it to resemble a jointed puppet or doll. In Japanese folklore, inanimate objects that are possessed by spirits and come to life are known as tsukumogami.
Galarian Mr. Mime appears to be based on both tap dancers and ice skaters. The soles of its feet resemble tap shoes, the blue spots on the sides of its head resemble earmuffs, its fingers resemble mittens, and the ice on its chest resembles a necktie. Its round body is also reminiscent of a snowman.
