'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]] and [HM][Hidden Machine]] move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature, though its morphology is actually more like a [[wikipedia:Jerboa|jerboa]]. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, 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 {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.
====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to {{p|Rotom}}), 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. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}. It has been seen to be able to swim [[Dive (move)|underwater]], as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its relative, Mewtwo.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|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 called 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 no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}

===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.

====[[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)]]====
[[Image:Mew.png|right|thumb|In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]
Another Mew first appeared as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|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 Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:PSMew.JPG|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mew debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and 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]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, 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 of photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear 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 data==

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after {{p|Mewtwo}} in the Pokédex, it has to have been found before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is a clone of it.
* 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 [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of Guyana.
* 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 {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will fail unless the opposing Pokémon is also genderless.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* 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}}.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, which is the total number of Pokémon in [[Generation II]], while in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493, which is the total number of [[Pokémon]] in [[Generation IV]].
[[Image:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Mew is legitimately obtainable only in [[Nintendo promotional event]]s, historically through a direct trade. In {{game|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]].
* Although Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}} is said to be the first of all Pokémon.
* Mew's species name, "New Species", is rather ironic, as it is in fact one of the first ever Pokémon to have existed.
* In many of the games, Mew is depicted as Pink. However, in the movies and some of the spin off games, Mew is a much lighter color.
* Mew shares the move [[Transform]] with [[Ditto]], along with also sharing the same color, both shiny and not.

===Trademark===
* 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.

===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).
