Mr Mime

When looking for a fast lead that beats other common leads and can inflict status, one would be hard pressed to find a better choice than Mr. Mime. Access to a wide variety of status and disruption moves makes Mr. Mime one of the best utility Pokemon in the tier. It doesn't clown around offensively, either—its scarcely resisted STAB Psychic is complemented by a powerful Thunder that threatens common Water-types and offers near-perfect coverage. Unfortunately, Mr. Mime's low Defense and HP stats mean that it can't stick around to trade hits with many physical attackers, but its high Speed, terrific ability to disrupt foes, and respectable damage output solidify its status as one of GSC UU's best special attackers.
