Mr Mime used to work for Delia Ketchum and would follow all her commands. That
means that Mr Mime also belonged to Ash because if Mr Mime doesn't fight for
Ash then Delia would be sad so not to make her sad Mr Mime can help Ash win
matches. Then why doesn't Ash use him in gym matches? He is a psychic pokemon
and can be effective against a lot of pokemon. Then why Ash doesn't use him in
battles? Also in this answer <https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/56238/58903>
user WonderCricket wrote that Ash doesn't have Psychic and Fairy pokemon but
Ash does have Mr Mime which is a Psychic and Fairy type. So why don't many
people count Mr Mime as a Ash pokemon?

Why Ash hasn't used Mr.Mime in any official gym badge match or in any league match?


Your premise of Mr. Mime being Ash's Pokemon because it so happens to obey
Delia Ketchum is _false_.

First and foremost, Mr. Mime **was never captured** as a Pokemon. It simply
decided to hang around Delia and help her out around the house.

By extension, because Mr. Mime is not a captured Pokemon, it does not belong
to any specific trainer, and can choose to obey whomever it wishes.

Lastly, Mr. Mime **only** stays around Delia, and because Delia isn't out
battling any gyms, Mr. Mime isn't being used in gym battles.

There _are_ examples of uncaptured Pokemon, like Mimikyu and Jessie, which do
get used in battles. I would say only recently did Mimikyu start to actually
obey Jessie, but up until that point, it was Mimikyu's decision to obey or
not.
