It's not bad in between Blissey/Snorlax/Chansey/Slaking precisely because it resists Machamp and Dragonite, who are very common gym attackers. It's basically a worse version of Gardevoir on defence (lower attack, slightly less tankiness).

Like Thdrshn said, Mr. Mime is basically a worse Gardevoir for defending gyms. However, the fact that it's CP is significantly lower means that it's motivation will decay at a much slower rate. Might be fun to toss into gyms between two of the Normal-type tanks.

Unfortunately his stamina is so low - 80 - that his overall tankiness tanks. Among fairies not only Gardevoir, but Togetic, Azumaril and Clefable all last longer against both Dragons and Fighters. Having Confusion as a fast move helps a little towards redeeming Mr. Mime, but only a little.

I second that. I used a confusion/shadow ball Mr Mime myself a few months ago, with the same reasoning: double resistance to fighting and dragon, confusion and shadow ball being good moves on defense, it should be annoying. Until I faced one myself in a gym. I crushed it very, very quickly with a Machamp. It just can't last long enough to stand. You're better off with a confusion/ice beam Slowbro, Hypno, low level Gardevoir or maybe Clefable, Azumarill.

Cant believe that posts above mention Mr. Mine as a proper defender, while there are being better alternatives.

I enjoyed dropping him in as a foreign regional, and of that lot he may be the best, but as far as "Good," no he's not particularly so.

With egg hatch regionals, his troll value is significantly diluted.

Those were some fun days, being accused of spoofing because people forgot airplanes exist. Mr. Mime was my go-to defender for several months after returning from Amsterdam for this exact reason.

Torkoal wouldn't have the same effect in my area, a large enough amount of people made it to Go Fest this year and got enough to trade around. Volbeat would be fun, I did manage to get one of those from someone who was visiting Amsterdam earlier this year.

There really is no such thing as a good defender other than golden raz in a 6 v 6 battle. I don’t know why we have to pretend otherwise.

yeah but for peope who dont have unlimited golden razz its nice to be able to slow them down (raids for exemple a ex one you might want that few extra balls to cathc it and then you want to put in a tank like blissey, chansey, snorlax, slaking, dragonite (cause of damnage)but then one stpot is left and where is live no ralts will ever spawn so mr mime are common wiht a 100% good cp it can tank out those machamp and maybe that dragonite against dragonite. so thats why i asked

Because depending on where you live, it may be efficient to have a defending lineup which will make the task of taking down the gym longer/harder, assuming no golden raspberry feeding during attack. This might be enough to deter some attackers who will look for an easier prey. Thus the defenders are more likely to receive 50 coins.

But it would be really cool to max out a perfect Mr.Mime :). I would consider that if I found one, to date I have caught 1188 and the best is a level 6 98% that I am resisting to power up
