[[Image:Pokémon_logo_English.png|200px|thumb|right|The logo of the Pokémon franchises]]'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', or '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is a series of {{wp|video game}}s, and an entire franchise based around those games, that centers around the ability to "catch" and "train" creatures called ''Pokémon'', for which it is named. The term ''Pokémon'' may refer to the video game franchise, an individual Pokémon creature, or a Pokémon species.

==Concept==
The basis of Pokémon is reminiscent of insect collecting, which the crator, [[Satoshi Tajiri]], enjoyed as a child.

At a glance, most Pokémon species are based off of ordinary animals, and sometimes plants. They are also inspired by ''{{wp|yōkai}}'', which are very popular in Japanese pop culture. This is evident from the extensive powers Pokémon exhibit, as well as their ever-growing, in-game mythology.

==Name and pronunciation==
Pokémon is called "Pocket Monsters" in Japan. This would have been the name when transferred to North America, but "Pocket Monsters" would've caused trademarking problems with {{wp|Monster in My Pocket}}, so [[Nintendo]] settled on using the shortened version of the name which is also used in Japan, with the "Poké" coming from pocket and the "Mon" being derived from Monsters.

Due to the accent on the name, Pokémon has a specific pronunciation — ''Poke-Ay-Mon''. The emphasis on the '''e''' is from the accent. Other common mispronunciations include ''Poke-ee-man'', ''Poke-ee-mon'', ''Poke-ay-man'' and ''Pock-uh-mon''.

==Franchise==
Also called '''Pocket Monsters''' in Japan and some other countries, Pokémon is a mega-franchise including [[Pokémon games|video games]], an {{pkmn|anime}}, a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, many {{pkmn|manga}} series, a [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game|miniatures game]], and much more merchandise. The concept of Pokémon was first created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] and all Pokémon games are published by Nintendo Inc., Ltd for their video game systems, including the Game Boy, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Wii. The games include strategy games and RPGs where the player becomes a "{{g|Trainer}}" who encounters, captures, trains, and collects many Pokémon creatures; puzzle games; and pinball games. They were first released in 1996 in Japan, and were first released in the USA in 1998. Since then, as of May 2005 the Pokémon Franchise has sold more than 140 million units worldwide, second only to {{wp|Mario}} with more than 182 million units sold worldwide and leaving even the {{wp|Legend of Zelda}} and {{wp|Donkey Kong}} franchises in the dust with more than 43 million units worldwide each. Pokemon is the #1 series in Japan and America.

==Collectively==
Pokémon inhabit virtually every corner of the {{pkmn|world}}: in forests, in deserts, in the sea, in the sky, and even in bustling cities. All Pokémon are hatched from {{pkmn|egg}}s and most can [[Pokémon breeding|reproduce]], save for legendary Pokémon, and other exceptions. In the wild, Pokémon sometimes fight one another. This can be for play, for food, or for defense. Pokémon, like all living creatures, are not immortal, although people new to Pokémon may have that misconception.

==Individually==
An individual Pokémon may be [[Wild Pokémon|encountered in the wild]], [[Captured Pokémon|caught]], [[Pokémon training|trained]], and [[Pokémon battle|battled with]]. In the games, individual Pokémon have many characteristics including [[stats]], [[DVs]], [[species]], [[Level]], [[Effort Values|EVs]], [[Nature]], [[personality value]], [[Experience]], and known [[moves]].

==Species==
'''Pokémon species''' are "kinds" of Pokémon, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Zubat}}. Individual Pokémon of certain species can change into some other species by [[evolution|evolving]], such as a Bulbasaur evolving into an {{p|Ivysaur}}. There are currently 492 officially released Pokémon species, while one other species, {{p|Arceus}}, is programmed into the [[Generation IV]] games and is widely known by the Pokémon fan community, but has not yet been officially revealed.

Species have certain characteristics inherent to each one. Examples include [[elemental types]], how many [[Effort values|EVs]] are awarded when a Pokémon of the species is defeated, [[base stats]], sprites and [[Alternate coloration|alternately-colored]] sprites, [[moves]] it learns by [[level|leveling up]], use of [[Technical Machine|TMs]] and [[Hidden Machine|HMs]] and by [[Move Tutor]]s, [[experience|base experience]], experience required to level up, and evolution.

In the anime, most Pokémon [[cry|speak through syllables of their name]]. For example, Pikachu can only say the syllables Pi, Ka, and Chu. Some Pokémon, like Salamence and Flygon, make other noises, like roaring or growling. There have been instances of Pokémon being able to speak, most notably {{MTR}}, but most of them can only speak telepathically, like {{an|Mewtwo}} and {{an|Lucario}}. Pokémon in the games generally make animalistic noises, although when the player talks to a Pokémon in the overworld, it says its name, or sounds that imitate its cry.

Oftentimes, the name of a species can refer to an individual Pokémon of that species instead. For instance, "Bulbasaur is a {{type2|Grass}}" refers to the Bulbasaur species, but "Bulbasaur uses {{m|Vine Whip}}" refers to a single Bulbasaur.

Initially, when the [[Generation I]] games ([[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]]) were released, there were 151 species of Pokémon ({{p|Bulbasaur}} to {{p|Mew}}). This number grew to 251 with the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} of [[Generation II]] a few years later, adding an additional 100 species ({{p|Chikorita}} to {{p|Celebi}}). [[Generation III]] brought another 135 species ({{p|Treecko}} to {{p|Deoxys}}) to the Pokémon world with the release of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, bringing the total to 386. The most recent additions, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the beginning of [[Generation IV]] introduced 107 new species ({{p|Turtwig}} to {{p|Arceus}}), bringing the overall total to 493.

According to the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'', biological taxonomies of cellular and genetic structure have revealed that Pokémon are all actually a single species of life form and that the individual differences between each creature are actually subspecies. The DNA of all Pokémon can be traced back to {{p|Mew}}. (This can also explain why Pokémon can variously interbreed with each other.)

Several games, especially the Red and Blue versions, have featured various hidden in-game [[Glitch Pokémon]], most notably [[Missingno.]] and [['M]]. There have also been glitches found that are unrelated to individual Pokémon, such as [[Glitch City]].

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew has been notorious since its discovery for its ability to learn every machine move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}} and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon. It also vaguely resembles a fetus, as it's often depicted in a pink orb similar to an amniotic sac and its tail as an umbilical cord.

====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless Pokémon.
====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 492 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible.

===Behavior===
Mew is an intelligent Pokémon and will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It also acts very childish, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it and laughing most of the time.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is considered a "mirage" by most.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is not a known diet for Mew.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mew1.PNG|right|thumb|Mew from [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].]]
Two different Mew appeared in Pokémon movies. In the first, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mew|Mewtwo Strikes Back}} engaged in a battle with its clone, {{an|Mewtwo}}. Additionally, this Mew was seen in the TV Special Movie ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', though since Mewtwo is contemplating life via flashback at the time (he is in Purity Lake being restored), it is unclear whether this is the real Mew in Purity Lake, or if it is a flashback Mew. In the eighth movie, ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|another Mew]] kidnapped [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}}.

[[Image:Mew Harp.JPG|left|thumb|[[Nando|Nando's]] Mew Harp]][[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to frustrate the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

[[Nando]] has a harp that is designed based on Mew.

A Mew appears in the [[boss fantasy]] of [[DP092]]. It marks the first appearance of Mew in the anime, and that all Pokémon from Generation I has appeared in the anime at some point.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Mew debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but they fail. The ''phantom Pokémon'' was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

It later appeared in the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mew (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Mew Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. The summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty in photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when photographed, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at Mew to get it to come out for a proper shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

===Game locations===
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
Mew can be obtained in the Pokémon Red and Blue versions by using the [[Mew glitch]]. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen [[Glitch|glitched Pokémon]] to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.

Mew is otherwise obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In [[Pokémon Emerald]], it may be found in [[Faraway Island]], a location that may be reached only with the promotion-only item [[Old Sea Map]]. After certain conditions are met, a Mew can be transferred to a Generation IV game from [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Trivia==
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little known secret when [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Satoshi Tajiri had programmed it into the game.
* The user-designed [[wp:Neopet|Neopet]] species known as the '''Shoyru''' was based on Mew with draconic aspects added.
* Lost scientific reports found in the burned mansion of Cinnabar Island state that Mew '''gave birth'''. The scientists named the newborn "Mewtwo". This breaks up the basic reproduction method of Pokémon - eggs. However, Mew, as with most legendary Pokémon, cannot produce eggs. Possibly, Mew was fertilized ''in vitro'', and thus it could give birth. This may account for the fact that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} are, too, incapable of producing eggs: They are fertilized by their male counterparts and reproduce in a mammal-like fashion.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed or LeafGreen]], as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]. It received an in-game location while {{p|Jirachi}} did not.
* Starting with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], a special flag must be set on Mew, otherwise it will not obey its trainer. This also goes for {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will always fail.
* Mew was considered by many to be the ancestor of all Pokémon until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Arceus}} is said in legend to be the "Original One" who shaped the {{pkmn|universe}} with its 1,000 arms.
** even still, Mew's D/P pokédex entry stated that it was believed to be the ancestor of all pokémon.
* Despite the Pokédex saying repeatedly that Mew can learn any move, it notably cannot learn moves unavailable other than by [[level]]ing up, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and [[move tutor]]s. Even then, it cannot learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, or {{m|Draco Meteor}} by tutoring.
*Mew was the second Pokémon ever to be seen on the English anime since it is the second Pokémon to appear in the opening theme song, following Mewtwo.
*Mew's English name is along with that of {{p|Muk}} the shortest of all Pokémon, written with only 3 letters.
*Even though Mew is shown multiple times to turn invisible, it is unable to learn {{m|Camouflage}}. It is also commonly seen Teleporting in the anime, while in the games, the only way to get a legit Mew with {{m|Teleport}} is from [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or by teaching it [[TM30]] in [[Generation I]]. However it may still utilize both of these moves (along with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Draco Meteor}}) through the use of {{m|Metronome}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* Mew's sprite in the original Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] as well as all of its [[Generation I]] backsprites feature notably different physical features for Mew than later appearances, especially its head, neck, and back.
* Mew's [[Generation II]] sprites feature it with a noticeably shortened tail which was carried on to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]][[Pokémon Emerald Version|, and Emerald]]. The tail was changed back to its extra long skinny appearance in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] though.
* In some scenes in "Mewtwo Strikes Back" Mew is a white color but it's pokedex color is pink.
* Mew's Generation III backsprites are simply graphical updates of its Generation II backsprites.
===Origin===
Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|Recapitulation theory}}.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew come with the [[ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} which transfers any [[status ailment]] the Pokémon might have to its opponent.

Mew has been notorious since its discovery for its ability to learn every machine move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}} and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon. It also vaguely resembles a fetus, as it's often depicted in a pink orb similar to an amniotic sac and its tail as an umbilical cord.

====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless Pokémon.
====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 492 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible.

===Behavior===
Mew is an intelligent Pokémon and will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It also acts very childish, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it and laughing most of the time.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is considered a "mirage" by most.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is not a known diet for Mew.

==In the anime==

Two different Mew appeared in Pokémon movies. In the first, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mew|Mewtwo Strikes Back}} engaged in a battle with its clone, {{an|Mewtwo}}. Additionally, this Mew was seen in the TV Special Movie ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', though since Mewtwo is contemplating life via flashback at the time (he is in Purity Lake being restored), it is unclear whether this is the real Mew in Purity Lake, or if it is a flashback Mew. In the eighth movie, ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|another Mew]] kidnapped [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Team Rocket]]'s {{MTR}}.

[[Image:Mew Harp.JPG|left|thumb|[[Nando|Nando's]] Mew Harp]][[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A [[Mirage Pokémon|Mirage]] Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to frustrate the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

[[Nando]] has a harp that is designed based on Mew.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Mew debuted in its own round in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{Special|Red}} and {{Special|Green}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but they fail. The ''phantom Pokémon'' was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

It later appeared in the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mew (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Mew Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. The summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty in photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when photographed, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at Mew to get it to come out for a proper shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

===Game locations===
[[image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
Mew can be obtained in the Pokémon Red and Blue versions by using the [[Mew glitch]]. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen [[Glitch|glitched Pokémon]] to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.

Mew is otherwise obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In [[Pokémon Emerald]], it may be found in [[Faraway Island]], a location that may be reached only with the promotion-only item [[Old Sea Map]]. After certain conditions are met, a Mew can be transferred to a Generation IV game from [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Trivia==
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little known secret when [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Satoshi Tajiri had programmed it into the game.
* The user-designed [[wp:Neopet|Neopet]] species known as the '''Shoyru''' was based on Mew with draconic aspects added.
* Lost scientific reports found in the burned mansion of Cinnabar Island state that Mew '''gave birth'''. The scientists named the newborn "Mewtwo". This breaks up the basic reproduction method of Pokémon - eggs. However, Mew, as with most legendary Pokémon, cannot produce eggs. Possibly, Mew was fertilized ''in vitro'', and thus it could give birth. This may account for the fact that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} are, too, incapable of producing eggs: They are fertilized by their male counterparts and reproduce in a mammal-like fashion.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed or LeafGreen]], as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]. It received an in-game location while {{p|Jirachi}} did not.
* Starting with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], a special flag must be set on Mew, otherwise it will not obey its trainer. This also goes for {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will always fail.
* Mew was considered by many to be the ancestor of all Pokémon until [[Generation IV]], when {{p|Arceus}} is said in legend to be the "Original One" who shaped the {{pkmn|universe}} with its 1,000 arms.
* Despite the Pokédex saying repeatedly that Mew can learn any move, it notably cannot learn moves unavailable other than by [[level]]ing up, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and [[move tutor]]s. Even then, it cannot learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, or {{m|Draco Meteor}} by tutoring.
*Mew was the second Pokémon ever to be seen on the English anime since it is the second Pokémon to appear in the opening theme song, following Mewtwo.
*Mew's English name is along with that of {{p|Muk}} the shortest of all Pokémon, written with only 3 letters.
*Even though Mew is shown multiple times to turn invisible, it is unable to learn {{m|Camouflage}}. It is also commonly seen Teleporting in the anime, while in the games, the only way to get a legit Mew with {{m|Teleport}} is from [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], or by teaching it [[TM30]] in [[Generation I]]. However it may still utilize both of these moves (along with {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Draco Meteor}}) through the use of {{m|Metronome}}.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to Level 100, whereas most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
* Mew's sprite in the original Japanese [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] as well as all of its [[Generation I]] backsprites feature notably different physical features for Mew than later appearances, especially its head, neck, and back.
* Mew's [[Generation II]] sprites feature it with a noticeably shortened tail which was carried on to [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]][[Pokémon Emerald Version|, and Emerald]]. The tail was changed back to its extra long skinny appearance in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] though.
* In some scenes in "Mewtwo Strikes Back" Mew is a white color.
===Origin===
Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|Recapitulation theory}}.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

'''Raikou''' (Japanese: '''ライコウ''' ''Raikou'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. First appearing in the [[Generation II]] Games, it is, along with {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}, one of the [[Legendary Beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

Raikou comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Pressure}}, which causes the foe to use two PP instead of one each time it uses a move.

Raikou does not evolve, and no Pokémon evolves into it.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Raikou is a yellow tiger-like creature with black stripes that resemble lightning bolts and a white under-side. Raikou has a skinny, light-blue tail with a star-shaped formation at the end. Raikou appears to have a purple cape that is supposedly made of thunderclouds. Most of Raikou's face is white with a light-blue "X" on its face and a gray crest on its forehead. Raikou has red eyes and long fangs in its upper jaws.
===Gender differences===
Raikou is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Raikou has the ability to shoot bolts of lightning from the rain clouds on its back. Raikou can also attack using its fangs and has partial mental powers.

==Behavior==
Raikou is normally distrustful of humans due to the fact that humans have tried to capture the Legendary Beast of Thunder for many centuries. Raikou tends to show up either when there is a thunderstorm or when other Electric-type Pokémon are in danger.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
As a member of the Legendary Beast Trio, Raikou is constantly on the move and seems to lack any set place where they show up.

==Diet==
{{main|Pokémon food}}

=In the anime=
[[Image:Raikou Robots.jpg|right|thumb|Two of [[Wattson|Wattson's]] Raikou robots.]]
Raikou has two appearances in the anime. The first is in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', where [[Misty's Togetic|Togepi]] and a {{p|Houndoom}} spot him before he disappears into the skies. He also appears in the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episode, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. Raikou is also currently the only Legendary Pokémon from the Second Generation to not appear in a feature movie (although a Ho-Oh featured in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|Mew]] in disguise). Raikou is also the only [[Legendary Pokémon]] that hasn't been seen in person by [[Ash]].

The [[Mauville City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Wattson]] owns many Raikou robots which he uses in his gym.

=In the manga=
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Raikou was awakened by {{Special|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Mask of Ice]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}}. Raikou eventually pairs up with [[Lt. Surge]], and later {{Special|Gold}}.

[[Anabel]] also owns a Raikou in the [[Battle Frontier]] saga. It has been confirmed that it is the same Raikou as the one that befriended Gold. Raikou is more powerful than other Electric-type Pokémon in the manga because billowing thunder clouds follow it everywhere, allowing it to perform powerful attacks more quickly than regular Electric Pokémon.

=In the TCG=
{{main|Raikou (TCG)}}

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Raikou releases a powerful {{m|Spark}} attack that electrocutes any opponents that get caught in it.

==Trivia==
[[Image:RaikouEntry.jpg|thumb|right|Raikou in {{jo|Jimmy}}'s Pokédex.]]
*Raikou is the only Pokémon in the anime whose image on the [[Pokédex]] was of stylized art rather than [[Ken Sugimori]]'s official artwork for it.
*In the 4kids dub of the anime, Raikou's name is frequently mispronounced as ''rai-kuu'' rather than ''rai-ko''.
*Raikou's sprites in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], portrayed it as having an orange cape and lacked the four-point star on its face. This was corrected in [[Pokémon Crystal]].
*Raikou is the only one of the [[legendary beasts]] that has not had an appearance in a feature-length movie.
*Raikou is the only pre-[[Generation IV]] legendary Pokémon that {{Ash}} hasn't met in real life. However, he did see one's tail and a {{wp|mecha}}-Raikou inside [[Wattson]]'s [[Mauville Gym|Gym]].
===Origin===
Raikou's appearance resembles the extinct animal known as the {{wp|smilodon|sabertooth tiger}}.
====Name origin====
The name in Japanese could be taken to mean 雷光, raikou, lightning. It could also be a combination of 雷 ''rai'', thunder and 皇 ''kō'', emperor. This [[Pokémon]] is also based on a demon of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 ''{{wp|raijū}}''.
Raikou's pokedex entry is the same in gold as leafgreen.

'''Dawn''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリ''' ''Hikari'') is a ten-year-old girl traveling through [[Sinnoh]] with {{Ash}} and [[Brock]]. Her goal is to become a great [[Pokémon coordinator|coordinator]] like her mother, [[Johanna]]. Her first [[Pokémon]] is a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} that she received from [[Professor Rowan]] in the [[DP001|first Diamond & Pearl episode]]. She is voiced by 豊口めぐみ ''[[Megumi Toyoguchi]]'' in the Japanese version, [[Emily Jenness]] in the English dub, by [[Fernanda Bulara]] in the Brazilian dub, and by Gaby Ugarte in the Latin American Spanish dub.

==In the anime==
===Character===
Dawn is notable for her confidence, since she is always looking towards the future rather than dwelling on her mistakes. In the Japanese version, she often says, "{{tt|Daijōbu!|'It's fine!' or 'It'll be alright!'}}" Although not consistently translated in the English dub at first, she began to regularly use "No need to worry!".

Like Ash, she is lucky enough to have seen a [[legendary Pokémon]], the projected soul of {{p|Mesprit}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

She had a [[bicycle]], but like [[Misty]]'s and {{an|May}}'s bikes, Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} destroyed it with its {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, she did not mention this to Ash until over 30 episodes after it happened. Johanna gave Dawn one of her old [[ribbon]]s from her days as a coordinator as a gift for luck. She also had a large suitcase full of dresses, but her mother made her leave it at home due to its impracticality.

Out of all of Ash's friends, Dawn is the only one so far to have her debut episode dedicated completely to herself. Unlike other debut episodes, Ash didn't even appear until the last 30 seconds. Additionally, she is the one of Ash's friends to get the most development.

She has a [[Contest Pass]] for the Sinnoh region. In ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'', when she competed in the [[Hearthome City]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, she lost in the Appeal Round, making her the first of the main characters to drop out of a contest by losing the appeal round. In [[DP061]], she lost the Appeal Round for second time in a row.

She has two childhood friends that appeared in the anime, [[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kenny]] and [[Yumomi]], both of which call her sometimes '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari''). Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname. She seems to be closer to Yumomi than to Kenny.

Like [[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~|May]], she has her own [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending theme song]], titled 君のそばで〜ヒカリのテーマ〜 ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]''. It is the first ending of the Diamond & Pearl anime. The song is performed by グリン ''Grin''.

===Pokémon===

===Achievements===
*Unofficial contest in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'' - Runner-Up
* [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]]  (Runner-up - with [[Conway]])

===Trivia===
*May and Misty were girls who traveled with Ash Ketchum. Both of them have Japanese names including the katakana '''カ''' ''ka'' and dub names starting with ''M'', so some fans believed Dawn would as well have a dub name starting with ''M'', because she had カ in her name. However, this was revealed to be false when her English name was revealed to be Dawn, which appears to reference [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]] as [[Paul]] references [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]]. "Dawn" may also be a reference to "Hikari," which means "light"--dawn is essentially the day's first light.
*Just like Ash's Pikachu, her Piplup wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends.
*She is the only female main character that doesn't have a sibling.
[[Image:Dawnpll.JPG|220px|thumb|right|Dawn in [[Pokémon Learning League]].]]
*Unlike Ash's [[Ash's Friends|other friends]], Dawn has already crossed a lot of boundaries that have previously only been held by Ash.
**She saw a [[legendary Pokémon]] prior to meeting Ash.
**She's the first main character to capture an {{type2|Electric}} [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pokémon]] besides Ash.
**Having already captured {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, and {{AP|Buizel}}, Dawn has captured more Pokémon in her first 35 episodes that any of the other main characters aside from Ash. This isn't including the Pokémon they all started with.
***Misty captured {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} before [[EP035]].
***Brock captured {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} before ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''.
***Tracey captured {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} before ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'' (by which point he wasn't even traveling with Ash any longer) and hasn't captured ''anything'' since.
***May captured {{TP|May|Wurmple}} before ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew]]''.
***Comparatively, Ash captured {{AP|Caterpie}}, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Krabby}}, {{AP|Primeape}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and all 30 of his {{AP|Tauros}} before the end of [[EP035]].
**She was the first main character other than Ash to battle a [[Lucian|member]] of the [[Elite Four]].
*Dawn is the second {{pkmn|Coordinator}} that is voiced by ''[[Megumi Toyoguchi]]'' in Japanese, the first being [[Janet]].
*She is one of two of Ash's friends who is not or part of a [[Gym Leader]] family. [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] is probably the other. However, this is only presumed as no information is known about her father or Tracey's family.
*She is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to lose the Appeal Round in a contest, which she has done twice.
*On the [[Pokémon Learning League]] website, her clothing has been altered so that her white undershirt has sleeves and she is wearing black stockings or tights.
*Dawn is the first Pokémon Trainer introduced as a novice to not have a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon be her first evolution, as {{Ash}}'s first evolving Pokémon was [[Ash's Butterfree|Caterpie]], and {{an|May}}'s was [[May's Beautifly|Wurmple]]. Dawn's first evolving Pokémon was [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]].
*She is the only main character aside from Ash to challenge an official Pokémon Gym, and the first of Ash's friends to compete in an official Gym Battle in the main series since ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where [[Brock]] battled Ash and [[Misty]] battled [[Ash]] respectively.
** Counting side-stories, the last time anyone besides Ash or his rivals were shown challenging a Gym Leader would be ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', where [[Sakura]] fought Misty.
*Every Pokémon Dawn has captured or received has been in the {{egg|Ground}} [[egg group]].
*When Dawn had Buizel, she had two {{type2|Water}}s, while afterwards, with Aipom, then Ambipom, she has two {{type2|Normal}}s. These relate to Ash's previous two female traveling partners, as Misty is a Gym Leader who specializes in Water-types, while May's father [[Norman]] is a Gym Leader that specializes in Normal-types.
*All of Ash's female friends have a native Korean word as their name in Korean version ([[Misty|dew]], {{an|May|spring}} and shine respectively). Such names were trendy in late 70s, now they are rare.
*All main characters that have traveled with have has had a relative that works in a gym accept for Dawn.
