Mime Jr. does a hula-like dance, making everyone around it, people and Pokémon, do the same dance. Sometimes its body becomes outlined in light blue while it is dancing. When it does, the opponent also becomes outlined in light blue when affected. Sometimes, instead of dancing, the opponent becomes outlined in light blue and becomes dazed and disoriented; or, Mime Jr. does a hula-like dance. When it does, its body becomes outlined in light purple and it releases waves of light purple from its body all around it. When the opponent is hit by the waves, its body becomes outlined in light purple and it jumps back and forth uncontrollably. | |||
