CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Mr. Mime repeats its pantomime gestures until what its audience believes it sees gains substance. With its fingertips, it shapes the air into an invisible wall capable of repelling an attack. Some scholars think its hands developed specifically for this art. Its talent is therefore more than a performance: the wall it mimes becomes real protection. Behind its meticulous movements lies a singular way of turning imitation into defence.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Shield describes the waves Mr. Mime emits from its fingertips to create its protective wall. Pokémon Omega Ruby gives another interpretation of its pantomime: when people believe in the invisible object it mimes, that object becomes tangible.
