Mimey debuted in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first saw Mimey using its {{t|Psychic}} powers to climb an invisible barrier that it created. Ash wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but a ringmaster named [[Stella]] wanted to catch it as well to inspire another {{p|Mr. Mime}} that worked on her circus. In the chaos, Mimey got away. {{an|Brock}} decided to help and had Ash dress as a Mr. Mime to help instead. When {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} went to the circus, they found out about the plan. When the {{pkmn2|wild}} Mr. Mime Ash and his friends saw earlier came to her door, Delia thought it was Ash in costume, and provided it with food. When the real Ash showed up, still in costume, she was quite puzzled. It then teamed up with Delia to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing all the Pokémon in Stella's circus. Ever since then, Delia has adopted it and affectionately [[nickname]]d it "Mimey". It was officially captured by Ash sometime offscreen after this.

In ''[[JN030|Betrayed, Bothered, and Beleaguered!]]'', Mimey was reunited with Delia when she came by to visit Ash. However, as Delia left, Mimey learned that Pikachu, who had been feeling neglected by Ash lately, was planning on leaving with her and tried to stop him. When Pikachu refused, Mimey decided to accompany him to Pallet Town. During their journey, Mimey was attacked by a group of {{p|Spearow}}, but Pikachu saved it by using Thunderbolt. By the time they arrived in Pallet Town, Pikachu had changed his mind and turned back to return to Ash, only to find out that Ash had come to Pallet Town looking for him.

Ash was somewhat envious of Delia's affection for Mimey; Delia once described it as more polite and helpful compared to Ash. He also became annoyed when Delia took its side after it had woken him up by using the vacuum on his face. Despite this, Ash and Mimey are on good terms, with Mimey happily accepting Ash's friendly greetings on his return trips to Pallet Town. Ash in particular is glad that Delia has Mimey as a housemate, as while he is on his journey, his mother will have company at home and will never be lonely.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Ash was revealed to be a good partner for Mimey in [[Pokémon battle]]s as well. In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Ash was able to take advantage of Mimey's unusual flexibility and defensive capabilities to withstand the assault of [[Hodge]]'s {{p|Hariyama}} in the finals of the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]]. However, Mimey is not as reliable as some of Ash's regular Pokémon, as shown as when it immediately called it quits after their first victory as a team. As revealed in a caption in [[JN128]], Mimey sees [[Ash's Lucario]] as his pupil and prouds himself for that, as they often trained together while the latter still was a newborn {{p|Riolu}}. In addition, Mimey tends to be the voice of reason whenever there is conflict.
