'''Mew''' is a [[legendary Pokémon]] who first appeared in the first ever feature-length {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. It was voiced in both English and Japanese by ''[[Koichi Yamadera]]''.
'''Mew''' (Japanese: '''ミュウ''' Mew) is a [[Mythical Pokémon]] who had a starring role in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and [[M22|its remake]].


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 challenge Mewtwo, convinced that a naturally born being would always be more powerful than its clone.

Mew made a cameo appearance at the start of the {{pkmn|movie}}, and did not take a major role until later. A {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was [[Cloning|cloned]] from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing its [[first partner Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island.
When Mewtwo's other new clones appeared, Mew came with them; however, it did not actually reappear until just a bit later. When it did appear, it tried to reason with Mewtwo, which only led to a {{pkmn|battle}} between the two. {{Ash}} stopped their battle by throwing himself in the middle of it, which turned him to stone. After Ash was revived by [[Pokémon]] tears, Mewtwo flew away with all its clones and Mew went with them. At the end of the movie, Ash briefly saw Mew in the sky, though [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] didn't see anything.

When Mewtwo's other new clones were born, Mew came with them, but disappeared momentarily. When Mew reappeared shortly later, it tried to reason with Mewtwo, which led to a {{pkmn|battle}} between the two. {{Ash}} stopped their battle by throwing himself in the middle of their attacks, which turned him to stone. After Ash was revived by {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} tears, Mewtwo flew away with its clones and Mew went with them. At the end of the movie, Ash briefly saw Mew in the sky, though {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} didn't see anything. After the credits are over, a brief scene plays showing Mew flying towards the mountains.


Mew makes a quick appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring, although, like in the first movie, it may have just been his flashback.
In ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', Mewtwo briefly saw Mew after being thrown into the Purity Spring on [[Mount Quena]], but this was just its imagination. It briefly reappeared in a montage in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', which chronicled the preceding nine movies. Mew physically reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a remake of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', where it played the same role.

Mew has a very playful and curious nature, and it prefers having fun over fighting. It didn't even seem to understand that Mewtwo was wanting to fight it until one of Mewtwo's attacks actually hit it. When battling, however, Mew was shown taking the fight very seriously as well. After the battle, Mew quickly took back its serious side and resumed its playful personality, proving the fact that it had been fighting only because it had to defend itself. In the Japanese version, Mew also wanted to defend original, uncloned Pokémon, believing them to be just as good, if not better, than the clones.

Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) is a Mythical Pokémon who had a starring role in Mewtwo Strikes Back and its remake.

In the movies

Mew made a cameo appearance at the start of the movie, and did not take a major role until later. A Mewtwo was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around New Island while Mewtwo was testing its first partner Pokémon clones. Mew followed Team Rocket into the main part of the island.

Mew traveling

When Mewtwo's other new clones were born, Mew came with them, but disappeared momentarily. When Mew reappeared shortly later, it tried to reason with Mewtwo, which led to a battle between the two. Ash stopped their battle by throwing himself in the middle of their attacks, which turned him to stone. After Ash was revived by Pokémon tears, Mewtwo flew away with its clones and Mew went with them. At the end of the movie, Ash briefly saw Mew in the sky, though Brock and Misty didn't see anything. After the credits are over, a brief scene plays showing Mew flying towards the mountains.

In Mewtwo Returns, Mewtwo briefly saw Mew after being thrown into the Purity Spring on Mount Quena, but this was just its imagination. It briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies. Mew physically reappeared in Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a remake of Mewtwo Strikes Back, where it played the same role.
