In the anime

Mr. Mime first appeared in It's Mr. Mimie Time. Ash and co. were looking for a Mr. Mime to replace another one that was supposed to perform in a circus. Ash originally dressed as one to encourage the old Mr. Mime, soon confusing his mother when a wild Mr. Mime arrived at her house.

In Stage Fight, a Mr. Mime was part of a showboat stage show along with other Pokémon.

Mr. Mime also appears in Hail to the Chef under the ownership of Rhonda, a girl who lives outside Saffron City who was competing with her sister for the ownership of her father's resturant.

In the manga

Mr. Mime was first seen under the control of Sabrina in Pokémon Special, generating a Light Screen to seal off the whole of Saffron City.

The same Mr. Mime was seen again during the Gym Leader faceoff, using its miming powers to trap Bugsy and defeat his Heracross.

Trivia

  • Mr. Mime originally had four fingers on its hands, but in Generation III it was given an extra finger.

Origin

It appears that it is based on a combination between a clown and a mime - together with a popular pantomime, pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes.

Name origin

Mr. Mime's name simply refers to mimes. Its Japanese name may be a combination of barrier and weird - indicating its ability to erect invisible walls. Its German name comes from the word pantomime.
