Biology
Mr. Rime is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon. Like its pre-evolved form Mr. Mime, it has growths resembling clown hair, but they are now black rather than blue and they cover the top of its head, resembling a bowler hat. It has yellow eyes and a moustache that covers its mouth. Its black-and-white torso resembles a coat or tuxedo and a face, with yellow shirt studs for its "eyes", a red lump as its "nose", and a white cummerbund for its "mouth". While its actual face remains almost expressionless, the features on its torso will change to convey emotions. Its lower body is blue and it has black and blue feet that resemble large shoes, presumably capped with ice. It has black spherical shoulders and blue arms with white, mitten-like hands. It always carries a blue formal cane made of ice.
Mr. Rime is highly skilled in tap dancing and waves its ice cane while it moves gracefully. It is popular due to its amusing movements and has been known to influence the Mime Jr. of the Galar region to learn its dancing steps, leading them to evolve into Galarian Mr. Mime. It can release psychic powers through the pattern on its belly. The comical dancing of Mr. Rime is said to be a calling card. The moment an enemy laughs at its amusing tap dancing, Mr. Rime quickly takes the chance to blast them with frigid air at −328 degrees Fahrenheit (−200 degrees Celsius).
Mr. Rime and its pre-Evolution, Galarian Mr. Mime, are the only known Pokémon that can have Screen Cleaner as an Ability.

Trivia
- Despite its English name containing a male-exclusive honorific, Mr. Rime's gender ratio is evenly split between male and female.
- Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII that can know an unusable move in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Specifically, it can know Double Slap, Meditate, Hidden Power, Barrier, Captivate, Flash, Frustration, Return, Natural Gift, Secret Power, Signal Beam, Snatch, Telekinesis, and Wake-Up Slap by evolving from a Mime Jr. that learned these moves in a previous game.
- Mr. Rime is the only Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield that can have the Sinnohan and Hisuian origin marks, due to Mime Jr. being able to have them.
Origin
Mr. Rime seems to be based on a mime, a tap dancer, and silent film actor Charlie Chaplin's iconic Tramp character. Like the Tramp, Mr. Rime appears to wear a bowler hat, a black suit jacket, baggy trousers, and large dress shoes, along with carrying a cane and sporting a mustache. Mr. Rime is native to the Galar region, which is inspired by Charlie Chaplin's home country, the United Kingdom. It could also be derived from the "city gent," a fashion style commonly associated with London businessmen during the 1970s, which prominently featured the bowler hat.
Mr. Rime may also be based on a clown, since its feet resemble oversized clown shoes and the pattern on its round body resembles a clown face. It may also be inspired by the はらだし haradashi, a humanoid yōkai with a large face on its belly, and is known for visiting people who feel sad or lonely in order to cheer them up, sometimes by dancing.
Mr. Rime's desaturated Shiny coloration may reference the black-and-white color of silent films — Charlie Chaplin is considered to be one of the most famous silent film actors.
Name origin
Mr. Rime may be derived from the abbreviation of Mister and rime (a type of frost) or rhyme (since its name rhymes with Mr. Mime).
Barrikohru may be a combination of barrier (referring to the invisible walls it can create) and 凍る kōru (to freeze).
