Pokemon GO features Mr. Mime in events like the Kanto Celebration 2025. The event offers a single way to encounter Mr. Mime, but other events might make it available in additional ways. Mr. Mime has a fair amount of fan base, and many are also hunting for Shiny Mr. Mime.

Events featuring Mr. Mime might provide other ways to get it, but currently, the Kanto Celebration 2025 event features it as a Research quest clearance reward.
