Alakazam is cool and powerful in the main games, so you'd expect him to be strong in Unite if he were to get in.
People don't expect a goofball lookin' dude who specializes in placing walls to actually push their shit in.
You see this clown, laugh him off, and OH SHIT. There goes half our health, and thanks to his sky high defenses he's also super hard to kill.
If you're trying to get somewhere he can just say "No" and block your path or trap you somewhere, and unless you have a dash or your eject button's off cooldown, you're fucked.
And if you're tankier than he is? He can swap your defenses with his and screw you over that way.
Mr. Mime looks silly, but he will absolutely fuck your ass raw and steal your farm while doing so.
That's what it's all about.
Look like a fool, but let it be known you're not to be fucked with.
