So I needed to ask this before I set forth on my second Sword playthrough, this time with the Isle of Armor in the equation as well. I intend to use Mr. Rime on my team, raised from a Mime Jr. caught in the Wild Area, and would like it to be male (because it's MR. Rime); but past experiences have given me female Mime Jr. (it's the strong encounter for Rolling Fields during Blizzard), and even though I save far outside its spawn point and reset consistently, the Mime Jr. have always been female, regardless of what I try. Are strong encounters gender-locked to where I could only get a female Mime Jr. on a specific day no matter what I tried or is there something I'm missing?
