In Galar, Mr. Mime has an Ice/Psychic-type regional form. It evolves into Mr. Rime starting at level 42. All Mime Jr. in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin.
Mr. Mime is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. 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. Mr. Mime is usually very rare, but can be found in suburban areas. In the past, Substitute was its signature move.
Galarian Mr. Mime are mostly blue and white. Much like other Mr. Mime they also have blue growths resembling clown hair, however, these also extend and cover its cheeks. They have wider-shaped eyes then other Mr. Mime and they have a blue nose. Their bodies have a white top and a blue bottom and they have a diamond made of ice that resembles a tie. They have blue shoulder spheres, but lack these spheres on their legs. Unlike other Mr. Mime, Galarian Mr. Mime do not have defined fingers and instead have mitten-like hands. Their feet are more defined, resembling blue shoes with light blue soles, presumably made out of ice. Rather than miming, Galarian Mr. Mime's main talent is tap dancing. Their feet radiate chilliness and can be used to create a floor of ice, which they can kick up to act as a barrier.
Mr. Mime made its main series debut in It's Mr. Mime Time. Ash and his friends came across it while looking for a Mr. Mime to replace another one that was supposed 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 the new series, Ash added Mimey to his active party.

A Mr. Mime appeared in 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.

Origin
Mr. Mime appears to be based on a combination of a clown, a mime artist, and the pantomime of pretending to be trapped in invisible boxes.
