Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every Technical Machine, Hidden Machine, and Move Tutor move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as Draco Meteor and Secret Sword).
Mew is the last Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex.
It is a member of the Mew duo along with Mewtwo.
Biology
Mew is a pink, bipedal Pokémon with mammalian features. Its snout is short and wide and it has triangular ears and large, blue eyes. It has three-fingered paws, large feet with oval markings on the soles, and a long, thin tail ending in an ovoid tip. Its hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. Mew has big hind legs and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon contained within its body, and as such is able to learn any attack.
As demonstrated by its behavior in the first and eighth Pokémon movies, it shows signs of intelligence, curiosity, playfulness, and even selflessness. Mew is incredibly adaptable, able to travel freely in the air or underwater. As seen in Pokémon Snap, it can create a pink orb of energy around itself for protection.
Reports found in Cinnabar Island's Pokémon Mansion note scientific expeditions (either independent or Team Rocket-funded), which have sighted Mew in Guyana, South America, the place where it was first discovered. Since Mew can make itself invisible at will, very few people have knowingly seen it, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. It will only show itself to a person who is pure of heart.
In the anime
Major appearances
Mew (M01)
In this movie, Mew made a couple of cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A 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.
In the Japanese version, Mew's characterization was different. Mew's intention was to wipe out cloned Pokémon, Mewtwo included, because it viewed them as inferior, in stark contrast to Mewtwo, who wished to eliminate natural-born.
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 (M08)
Another Mew first appeared transformed as a Ho-Oh, and then as a Taillow, landing on Cameran Palace and then transforming into Treecko. It then transformed into an Aipom to play with Ash's Pikachu. Ash and his friends released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.
After taking them to an attic, Kidd Summers sent her two Weavile after it. To escape, it teleported itself, along with Pikachu and Meowth. It then transformed once again into a 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. Lucario 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 Bonsly.
Other
A 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 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 opening of Destiny Deoxys.
A Mew appeared in the boss fantasy of A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!. As of this episode, every Generation I Pokémon has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.
A Mew appeared in Alexa's magazine in The Journalist from Another Region!.
An image of Mew appeared on a computer screen used by Mewtwo's creators in Genesect and the Legend Awakened.
In Pokémon Origins, Mew briefly appears at the end of File 4 - Charizard.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Mew debuted in the first round of the Red, Green & Blue arc, A Glimpse of the Glow. Here, Red and 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 is revealed later on, that Mew inhabits the area near Pallet Town because it lacks the pollution created by humans in other areas.
Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to the next volume, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from Green, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their Jynx was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful Psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone
Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into Indigo Plateau after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow Pokédex Holders.
It later reappeared in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, where it saved Red and the people of Vermilion City from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. Mewtwo notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
A Mew appeared in Obtain the Moon Stone!!. This one is actually a woman who was accidentally transformed after an experiment went wrong. She turns back later to her normal form.
Giovanni catches Mew as part of the supplies used for the creation of Mewtwo. It was released along with Mewtwo after the creation was unsuccessful.
In the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire manga
Red befriended a Mew in Showdown! Clefairy VS Mew!!.
In the TCG
- Main article: Mew (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros./Melee/Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a Poké Ball. When summoned, it will use 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.
Melee trophy information
Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all TMs and HMs. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable.
Brawl trophy information
"A New Species Pokémon. An extremely rare Pokémon that contains the DNA of all other Pokémon, it is thought by many scholars to be a Pokémon ancestor, considering the wide range of moves it can use. On top of being able to make itself invisible, Mew can also transform into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."
Pokémon Snap
Mew appears in the seventh course, Rainbow Cloud. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively makes 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
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Mew is the guardian of the Grass Cornet.
- In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure Mew takes Pikachu and their friends Chikorita, Piplup, and Charmander to the PokéPark. He then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the Sky Prism so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained Mew awaits Pikachu at the Sky Pavilion where he plays. In this game, Mew is referred to as male, despite being genderless in the main series.

Trivia
- Though it comes after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, it must have been discovered before Mewtwo, since Mewtwo is Mew's clone.
- 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 were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Shigeki Morimoto had programmed it into the game.[1]
- 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 FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as the only Legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in Emerald.
- Mew has shown up in six opening sequences, more than any other Legendary.
- Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn Captivate, and the only genderless Pokémon besides Cryogonal to learn Attract; however, when used by genderless Pokémon, these moves will always fail.
- Unlike most Legendary Pokémon, Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas most Legendary Pokémon need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both Celebi and Shaymin. The three of them also share base 100 stats.
- In Super Smash Bros. it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, its chance to appear is 1 out of 493.
- This is a reference to how many Pokémon were out during the release of each game (151 in Generation I, 251 in Generation II, and 493 in Generation IV).
- Mew shares the move Transform with Ditto, along with also sharing the same Shiny coloration and the same weight. In addition, in Pokémon Yellow, Ditto can be encountered in the Pokémon Mansion on Cinnabar Island, where diary entries on Mew can be found.
- In an interview with Game Freak and Creatures, Inc. in Nintendo Power issue 134, Shigeki Morimoto revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
- In the US release of Mew as an event for HeartGold and SoulSilver, it was released on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of Gold and Silver.
- Mew was voted the most popular Legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon Power Bracket.
- Mew started the trend of every generation introducing a Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Land Forme Shaymin, and Victini.
- In Pokémon Stadium 2, if the player visits Earl's Academy and check the moves for Mew, the game falsely displays Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt as its Egg moves.
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 is similar to a vertebrate embryo. It shares many traits with cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a jerboa, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the recapitulation theory.
Name origin
Mew may be derived from 妙 myō (strange/unusual), mew (the sound a kitten makes, referring to its size and cat-like appearance), or mutant (myūtanto), or it may be a combination of mystery and new (considering that it is mysterious and "newly" discovered).
