Pokemon Card of the Day - Pokemon Tips - Pojo.com

Mr. Mime ex is not as good as his Jungle predecessor. Your opponent can just play most of the cards in their hand, and now you have a Mr. Mime doing only 10-20 damage. Besides the poke-body is very get-aroundable by Strength Charm, Double Rainbow Energy, and most decks have Pokemon that do both odd and even damage so the body is not hard to get around. I'm not seeing its goodness.

Unlimited - I would rather use Mr. Mime jungle version, or Base Gastly. 1/5

Modified - Still worthless here, the attack is unreliable. 1.5/5

Limited - Nice here. Your opponent doesn't have a lot of choice to do odd or even damage, and controlling their hand size could be harder than in constructed formats, so Mr. Mime ex should do more damage. 3/5

Mr.Mime ex – Very interesting concept with the release of the 2 new Mr. Mime’s. Notice that there is no weakness to Psychic as there was to the original Mr. Mime. Why is that? Simple, the Odds + Evens Power would virtually fall apart if weakness was applied. Safeguard Wobby cant hurt the Odd Mr. Mime and on the flip side Mr. Mime cant touch the Wobby. Evens Mr. Mime can hurt Safeguard Wobby.

It can definitely become very frustrating if all your pokes only dish out odd damage and your opponent has Mr. Mime Odds. Same thing with Evens Mr. Mime. Desert Ruins don’t hurt Mr. Mime because of his HP. Basically you want to make sure that when you build your deck to take into consideration these Mimes and don’t build an all Even damage or all Odd damage deck. Also Strength Charm can mess up these Mimes. Just watch the look on your opponents face when he has Evens Mr. Mime out and your Pokemon is dishing out 80 damage then you attach a Strength Charm and OHKO it with 90 damage. Like his original counterpart, the new Mr. Mime hates status effects.

His one and only attack is an exact replica of Gardy EX. With the loss of Desert Shaman and CopyCat in the new format expect people to have larger than usual hands using Delcatty, Steven’s, TV Reporter to increase their hand size. Mr. Mime loves large hands. And remember that it places damage counters so that his attack goes through Weakness and Metal Energy.

Unlimted: 3/5 – Very interesting concept at work here. With his low energy attachment and in combo with Slowking your opponent will be hard pressed to play Plus Powers to screw up Mr. Mime’s power.

Modified: 3/5 – Like I said before, if you aren’t prepared for him, Mr. Mime can be very annoying. I expect larger than usual hands in Modified once the Wotc sets get rotated out so Mr. Mime will play a factor.

Limited: 2/5 – I give him the lowest rating here because large hand sizes are rather uncommon in draft and more than likely you will have a means of dishing out odds or evens damage just because of the variety of Pokes to choose from.
