[Pros]

[Cons]

[Dynamaxing Potential]- This Pokemon can dynamax depending on the situation, Id guess the majority of teams you are looking at other Pokemon that are better suited to the role. Unless you had a specific team composition around Mr.Rimes sweeping potential such as a sticky web team.

[Potential Movesets]

Mr. Rime @ Focus SashAbility: Screen CleanerLevel: 50EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Psyshock- Freeze-Dry- Foul Play / Focus Blast- Thunderbolt / Hail / Trick Room>I’ve thought of this random looking set as a catch me all vs. the vast majority of popular hyper offensive teams going around now. Focus Sash allows you to always live one hit from your opponent even if they are boosted. Psyshock hits Hawlucha for the OHKO and is used over Psychic because of Hawlucha getting SpDef boost from Psychic Seed. Freeze-dry OHKOs Gyarados and Barraskewda. Foul Play OHKOs +2 Adamant Excadrill and does very good chip to Jolly Excadrill or you can use Focus Blast for the guaranteed OHKO if you are feeling risky. Thunderbolt is for Gyarados if it is Dynamaxed (you would have to Dyna yourself). Other Options are Hail to get rid of Rain/Sand or Trick Room.

Another set in this vein is probably also possible, though most likely only under sticky webs or vs. slow teams. Pretty standardish setup set with the coverage to hit a lot of the tier. It is a bit inferior in this sort of role compared to other psychic types and especially compared to special attackers like Hydreigon and Gengar. Also Mr. Mime-Galar with Eviolite may outclass Mr.Rime in this due to its speed tier and eviolite bulk.

Most likely this Pokemon is going to be very niche, I don’t imagine its usage to be too high in Battle Stadium.

This is basically a breakdown of Mr. Rime, and it points out why Mr. Rime is outclassed in a few places.

Hope this helps! :)
