Poor Mr. Mime He didn't deserve nerf at all :(

1 A Clefable Mainalmost 2 years

Ahhhh yesss! More heal for me and my teammates! I was tempted to buy Blissey in about some days but oh god that 15% healing stopped me immediately. Though I'm not excited about that +0.5sec on Gravity stun. I would have preferred a faster casting time or an increased duration. Moonlight for the winning!
