[SET COMMENTS]
Nasty Plot Galarian Mr. Mime is one of the most threatening wallbreakers and late-game sweepers in NFE. Psychic and Psyshock hit most of the metagame incredibly hard, with Psyshock dealing more damage to special walls like Clefairy. Freeze-Dry hits Marshtomp, Slowpoke, and Wartortle for super effective damage while Ice Beam is stronger against targets like Tangela and Hattrem, having a 56% chance to OHKO Tangela and always OHKOing Substitute + Bulk Up Rufflet. Focus Blast can hit common switch-ins like Ferroseed, Piloswine, and Klang, while Shadow Ball can hit other checks such as Metang, Slowpoke, Hattrem, and Galarian Corsola. Using an Eviolite makes Galarian Mr. Mime much less susceptible revenge killers such as Thwackey, Raboot, and Life Orb Kadabra, while Heavy-Duty Boots gives Galarian Mr. Mime more free switches.
Physical attackers such as Thwackey and Raboot benefit greatly from Galarian Mr. Mime's ability to break past Pokemon such as Tangela, Gurdurr, and Golbat. Thwackey's and Vullaby's Knock Off helps wear down Steel-type switch-ins and other Pokemon like Tangela into range; they can also bring Galarian Mr. Mime in safely with U-Turn. Gurdurr is also a good teammate because of its Knock Off, Defog, and ability to check Steel- and Dark-types that can threaten Galarian Mr. Mime. Entry hazard setters such as Ferroseed, Piloswine, Clefairy, Mareanie, and Koffing can chip Galarian Mr. Mime's switch-ins into a range of a KO.

Galarian Mr. Mime can utilize a Rapid Spin set due to its solid STAB attacks, good Speed, and superb coverage. With Heavy-Duty Boots, it can switch in and offensively pressure the opposing team, giving it opportunities to use Rapid Spin. The choice between Freeze-Dry and Ice Beam depends on your team, either giving up super-effective coverage on Water-types or general power. Focus Blast hits entry hazard setters like Ferroseed and Piloswine for super effective damage.
Galarian-Mr. Mime works best on offensive teams where it can apply offensive pressure and force switches, creating an opportunity to use Rapid Spin. Pivots such as Electabuzz, Raboot, and Thwackey can easily bring in Galarian Mr. Mime. Pokemon weak to entry hazards such as non-Heavy-Duty Boots Magmar, Raboot, Rufflet, and Lampent benefit from Galarian Mr. Mime's Rapid Spin. Since this set lacks a setup move, Pokemon that can break through troublesome special walls like Galarian Corsola, Clefairy, and Ferroseed such as Taunt Galarian Linoone and stallbreaker Golbat make good teammates. Galarian Mr. Mime should switch to these stallbreakers when anticipating Galarian Corsola and Lampent to attempt spinblocking. Galarian Mr. Mime depends on its item, so Knock Off absorbers like Tangela, Gurdurr, Golbat, and Clefairy are good partners.

With Choice Specs, Galarian Mr. Mime is a devastating wallbreaker. Its dual STAB attacks can hit much of the tier for powerful neutral damage, with Focus Blast being able to hit Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Klang on the switch. Psyshock can be used to break through troublesome special walls more easily, while Trick can cripple common switch-ins such as Galarian Corsola, Clefairy, and Metang.
There are various Pokemon that benefit from Galarian Mr. Mime's ability to break through and cripple walls like Galarian Corsola and Ferroseed, such as Electabuzz and Fraxure. Galarian Mr. Mime benefits from having teammates that can switch into Knock Off, such as Golbat, Gurdurr, and Tangela. Gurdurr is a good teammate because it removes entry hazards with Defog and benefits from having common walls that it struggles to get past like Clefairy and Galarian Corsola beaten or crippled by Trick. Other Pokemon that can remove entry hazards include defensive Wartortle, which helps patch Galarian Mr. Mime's Fire-type weakness, and Vullaby, which handles Ghost- and Dark-type attacks. Late-game cleaners such as Electabuzz, Thwackey, and Kadabra can prey on the Pokemon Galarian Mr. Mime is able to weaken for them.

Other Options
=============
Galarian Mr. Mime can run a Choice Scarf set with Healing Wish; however, Hattrem is a better Healing Wish user. Substitute is an option on the Nasty Plot set to avoid being revenge killed by priority users, but it's much more situational than Focus Blast. Future Sight is an option on Choice Specs Galarian Mr. Mime, but Psyshock and Trick have more utility.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Priority Users**: Galarian Mr. Mime has low Defense. When weakened by Stealth Rock damage or lacking Eviolite, it can be easily preyed on by priority users such as Thwackey and Raboot.
**Knock Off**: Knock Off is a very prevalent coverage move in the NFE metagame, meaning Galarian Mr. Mime often has trouble switching in and can be forced out easily. Once Galarian Mr. Mime loses its item, it often becomes dead weight, either losing its Eviolite bulk or entry hazard immunity.
**Specially Defensive Pokemon**: Without Nasty Plot, Galarian Mr. Mime can be stopped by specially defensive walls such as Galarian Corsola, Clefairy, Klang, and Ferroseed. The latter two have to watch out for Focus Blast, however.
**Ghost-types**: Rapid Spin Galarian Mr. Mime struggles to break through Ghost-types such as Galarian Corsola, Lampent, and Dusclops. They can switch into Galarian Mr. Mime multiple times, blocking Rapid Spin and forcing it out with their Ghost-type attacks.
