The MVP of Detective Pikachu, Mr. Mime, is yours to own in Pokémon Sword and Shield in his original Kanto form. Rather than having to go out and battle one, however, you must trade for a Mr. Mime instead.
The first thing you need is an Obstagoon that you don’t mind trading. This Dark-type Pokémon is highly sought after for its versatility, as well as the fact that it’s inspired by KISS.
To get an Obstagoon in Sword and Shield, you need to evolve a Zigzagoon into a Linoone by reaching level 20, and then levelling up the Linoone at level 35 and beyond during nighttime.
Once you have your Obstagoon, head on over to Spikemuth, which is where you will fight Piers: the 7th Gym Leader and a fan of Dark-type Pokémon.
In the arena where you battle Piers, there’s a guy behind the stall who will ask you if you want to trade your Obstagoon for his Kanto Mr. Mime by the name of Mymo.
Accept the trade and you will receive the Kanto Mr. Mime in return. From what we can tell, the level of the Mr. Mime correlates with the level of your Obstagoon.
Mr. Mime will come in extremely hand in the fight with Raihan as his type is effective against Dragon. We’d recommend you use him and another Dragon Pokémon like Gyarados in the duo battle(s).
Pokémon Sword and Shield are out now on Nintendo Switch.
