'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].
footnotes=}}
'''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.  
It is not known to [[Evolution|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 notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[TR|Technical Record]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]], and [[Move Tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).


Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|Kanto Pokédex]].
It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mewtwo}}.
 
Mew was first officially revealed in the May 1996 issue of [[CoroCoro]]<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro96-5.html</ref>, less than two months after [[Pokémon Red and Green]] were released in Japan.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is a pink, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope.
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 has shown a playful, childish personality, showing signs of high intelligence, curiosity, shyness, playfulness, and even selflessness. It is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. This causes many scientists to theorize that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon. It is an incredibly adaptable species, capable of levitation and teleportation. It can use almost all known Moves, regardless of their [[Type]]s. It has also shown the rare power to {{m|Transform|transform into all known Pokémon}}. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people. As seen on several occasions, it has the ability to create an orb of energy around itself for protection, which can come in many colors, such as green, yellow, and pink.
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===
In [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, scientists who managed to gather some of Mew's DNA used it to create a modified clone of it, aiming to create the most powerful Pokémon of all, resulting in the creation of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Mewtwo}}. [[Pokémon Mansion journals|Reports]] found in Pokémon Mansion note scientific expeditions in which Mew was sighted. Since Mew can make itself invisible, very few people have {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|seen it}}, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. However, sightings of it are still being reported to this day. Even though it's rarely seen, it will show itself to a person who is pure of heart and has a strong desire to see it. In the [[JN134|anime]], it has shown to be capable of splitting to transform into two Pokémon at the same time. It has also shown a strong rivalry with its clone, [[Mewtwo (M01)|Mewtwo]].
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. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible.


===Habitat===
According to the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', Mew was discovered by [[Jessie]]'s mother, [[Miyamoto]], who registered its cry in a forest 20 years before the events of the games. It was worshiped for its protection by ancient people who created a song in its honor and believed it appeared once a year with the rising sun. It wasn't rediscovered until 18 years after Miyamoto met Mew by sunrise on the peak of a high mountain.
[[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===
Mew is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}.
{{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.
==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: The {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Mystery Dungeon}} was Mew in their former life, working to fight against [[Dark Matter]] and creating the [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]]. In the post-game, the [[Hero Pokémon|hero]] goes to the {{OBP|Mystery Jungle|Super Mystery Dungeon}} and meets a different Mew, who is later revealed to have the partner's spirit sealed inside them.
{{endspoilers}}
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the {{ga|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 having {{DL|gender|unknown gender}} in the [[core series]].


==In the anime==
===Pokédex entries===
[[Image:Mew1.PNG|right|thumb|Mew from [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].]]
The Pokédex entry from Japanese [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] had some localization changes:
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]]'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.
* 「いまでも まぼろしの ポケモンと いわれる。そのすがたを みたものは ぜんこくでも ほとんど いない。」 (''It is still called a Mythical Pokémon. Its shape was seen by almost no one in the entire country.''){{sup/1|B}}{{sup/3|LG}}
*: This entry uses the Japanese term for [[Mythical Pokémon]] (literally: ''Illusory Pokémon''), but it predates the definitive [[Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|split between Legendary and Mythical]] in English media. The localization calls Mew a "mirage" instead.
*: In the localization, Mew is said to be a mirage by "many experts". However, the Japanese text does not mention any experts.
*: In Japanese, it is said that almost no one has seen Mew in the entire country ({{ruby|全国|ぜんこく}}). In English, this was changed to "worldwide".


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

==In the manga==
Also, in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Stadium 2}}, Mew is available as a [[rental Pokémon]] after the player beats Round 1 of the [[Prime Cup]].
===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==
===Held items===
[[Image:Mew Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Pokémon caught in [[Generation I]] must be traded to a [[Generation II]] game in order for a held item to appear.
===[[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. 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.

{{HeldItems/Games1|Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version}}
{{HeldItems/Games1|Emerald|tcolor=fff|Pokémon Emerald Version}}
{{HeldItems/Items1|Lum Berry|100}}
|}


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]]===
====Pokéathlon stats====
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.

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]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew will sometimes appear out of a {{i|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 15,000 points.


===Base stats===
After unlocking every character in [[Super Smash Bros. 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 [[Super Smash Bros. 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 {{m|transform}} into any opponent Pokémon and use characteristics and moves in exactly the same way."''

[[File:UNITE Mew.png|thumb|left|150px|Mew in Pokémon UNITE]]
==={{g|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 Ball]]s or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2,500 points, making it the highest-ranking Pokémon in the game with the highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size, and pose.

==Trivia==
==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.  
[[File:Mew Discovery Date.png|thumb|right|Mew's discovery date.]]
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew was designed by Shigeki Morimoto, which he states at the [[Heahea City]] [[GAME FREAK]] office. This included its pixel art, cry and Pokédex entry (the one reused in {{g|FireRed}}). He also says it was right at the very end of game development.
* 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.
* Despite being a clone of Mew, {{p|Mewtwo}} appears before Mew in the [[Pokédex]].
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.
* Mew is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]]. This may be because Mew still wasn't announced outside of Japan at that time.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, due to technical limitations, Mew's [[Pokémon category|category name]], ''New Species'', is labeled in game as ''NEW SPECIE'' (and in early versions, labeled as ''NEWSPECIES'').
* 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.
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan.

* The user-designed [[wp:Neopet|Neopet]] species known as the '''Shoyru''' was based on Mew with draconic aspects added.
** According to Shigeki Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.<ref name=IwataAsks/> However, Pokémon Red and Green are 373 kilobytes in size and are housed in 512 kilobyte cartridges.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-file-size-every-core-game/ The File Size Of Every Core Pokemon Game] - ''The Gamer''.</ref><ref>https://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon_Red_and_Blue</ref>
* 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 in the games.
** 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.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 134, July 2000, p.78-79 ([http://www.rigelatin.net/copycat/media/print/np134.php excerpt])</ref>
* 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.
* In the [[core series]], Mew can only be fought as a [[wild Pokémon]] on [[Faraway Island]] in {{game|Emerald}}. However, this requires the [[Old Sea Map]], an [[event item]] only distributed in Japan and Taiwan.
* 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 has the most anime opening appearances of any Mythical Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Attract}} and {{m|Captivate}}; however, when used by Mew, they will always fail.
* Because Mew can learn any TM:
* 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 Pokémon, although this by no means indicates that it actually is.
** It is the only [[Gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon species that is legitimately able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and one of the few that can learn {{m|Attract}}. Both moves fail when used by any Pokémon with unknown gender, including Mew.
*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.
** It is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, {{m|Water Pledge}}, and {{m|Steel Beam}} that doesn't share a type with the move.
*Mew's English name is along with that of {{p|Muk}} the shortest of all Pokémon, written with only 3 letters.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]], Mew 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]]).
*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}}.
[[File:Wildmew.png|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* 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}}.
* The US release of Mew as an event for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} happened on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* 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.
* In 2012, Mew was voted the most popular Legendary/Mythical Pokémon in the {{n|Official Pokémon website announces Pokémon Power Bracket|Pokémon Power Bracket}}, which consisted of all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first four [[generation]]s.
* 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.
* Mew started the trend of every generation until [[Generation VI]] introducing a Mythical Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 all around. Others that follow this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.
* In some scenes in "Mewtwo Strikes Back" Mew is a white color, but its Pokédex color is pink.
* At 981 episodes (and over two decades), Mew is the Pokémon species that has taken the longest to physically debut in the main anime series from the start of their generation out of any Pokémon thus far.
* Despite being shown floating in both the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|games}}, it does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}}.
* The only ways to legitimately obtain a {{Shiny}} Mew are via the Generation II {{DL|List of PCNY event Pokémon distributions (Generation II)|Shiny Mew|Gotta Catch Em All Event}} in Thanksgiving 2002, the [[Old Sea Map]] on a Japanese copy of {{game|Emerald}}, or through the [https://www.leekduck.com/shiny-mew-masterwork-research/ Pokémon Go Mew Masterwork Research] quest, which was available for a limited time in Pokémon GO during the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event and then became available again for players who missed purchasing it the first time for a few days in early July 2023.
** Only the latter two can exist in modern games, as Gen II's "Gotta Catch Em All" Shiny Mew cannot legitimately be [[transfer|transferred]] to Generation III or later.
** Mew is the only Pokémon that can be shiny while having the Mightiest [[Mark]].
* Mew is tied with {{p|Muk}} for the shortest English name of all Pokémon.
** Mew has the shortest Korean name of all Pokémon, only consisting of one hangul character.
* Mew is the only Pokémon obtainable in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] that cannot have the [[Pokémon GO]] [[origin mark]] ([[File:GO icon VIII.png|16px|GO origin mark]]) in said games.
* Mew is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in Generation I.
* As of [[Generation IX]], Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that does not appear in any regional Pokédex other than [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]].
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Fusion Strike}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolFusion Strike.png|30px]] resembles Mew's tail surrounded by [[Dynamax]] clouds.
 
===Origin===
===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}}.
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Designer Shigeki Morimoto stated that Mew's design was based on Mewtwo. Its design was made simpler than Mewtwo in order to take up less space on the cartridge.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyXDpFd1CQk The Untold Origin Story of Mythical Pokémon "Mew" and "Mewtwo"! (Game Freak "Secret Base" #39)] - Game Freak Official YouTube Channel (Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/game-freaks-shigeki-morimoto-on-mew-why-it-was-initially-rare-design-more/ Game Freak’s Shigeki Morimoto on Mew – why it was initially rare, design, more] - ''Nintendo Everything''.</ref>
 
Mew's overall physical appearance appears to be based on domestic {{wp|cat}}s. Several of Mew's features, such as a short muzzle and large hind feet, are commonly found in cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. Mew's earliest design in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] resembled a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}, featuring a large head and small body. Mew was soon revised and became mostly mammalian with cat-like traits, while still retaining several embryonic features such as having short fine hair and small forearms. Mew is believed by scientists to be the {{wp|last universal common ancestor}} of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}.


====Name origin====
====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 may be a combination of ''{{wp|mutant}}'' or ''{{wp|mutation}}'' and ''new''. It may also involve 妙 ''myō'' (wonderful, exquisite).
 
According to Julien Bardakoff, the French localizer for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red and Blue]], he asked if Mew's name was based on the English onomatopoeia for a cat's meow, and was explicitly told it was not.<ref>[https://www.liberation.fr/apps/2016/06/pokemon/ Libération.fr – Pokémon, traduisez-les tous]</ref>

Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

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

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every Technical Machine, Technical Record, Hidden Machine, and Move Tutor move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as Volt Tackle and Secret Sword).

It is a member of the Mew duo along with Mewtwo.

Mew was first officially revealed in the May 1996 issue of CoroCoro[1], less than two months after Pokémon Red and Green were released in Japan.

Biology

Mew is a pink, bipedal Pokémon with mammalian features. It has a rounded, wide snout; triangular ears; and large, blue eyes. It has short arms with three-fingered paws and large hind paws with oval markings on the soles. Its tail is long and thin with an ovoid tip. Its fur is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope.

Mew has shown a playful, childish personality, showing signs of high intelligence, curiosity, shyness, playfulness, and even selflessness. It is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon contained within its body. This causes many scientists to theorize that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon. It is an incredibly adaptable species, capable of levitation and teleportation. It can use almost all known Moves, regardless of their Types. It has also shown the rare power to transform into all known Pokémon. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people. As seen on several occasions, it has the ability to create an orb of energy around itself for protection, which can come in many colors, such as green, yellow, and pink.

In Cinnabar Island's Pokémon Mansion, scientists who managed to gather some of Mew's DNA used it to create a modified clone of it, aiming to create the most powerful Pokémon of all, resulting in the creation of the Legendary Pokémon Mewtwo. Reports found in Pokémon Mansion note scientific expeditions in which Mew was sighted. Since Mew can make itself invisible, very few people have seen it, leading some scientists to declare it extinct and most to assume it to be a mirage. However, sightings of it are still being reported to this day. Even though it's rarely seen, it will show itself to a person who is pure of heart and has a strong desire to see it. In the anime, it has shown to be capable of splitting to transform into two Pokémon at the same time. It has also shown a strong rivalry with its clone, Mewtwo.

According to the radio drama The Birth of Mewtwo, Mew was discovered by Jessie's mother, Miyamoto, who registered its cry in a forest 20 years before the events of the games. It was worshiped for its protection by ancient people who created a song in its honor and believed it appeared once a year with the rising sun. It wasn't rediscovered until 18 years after Miyamoto met Mew by sunrise on the peak of a high mountain.

Mew is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Genesis Supernova.

Pokédex entries

The Pokédex entry from Japanese Pokémon Blue and LeafGreen had some localization changes:

  • 「いまでも まぼろしの ポケモンと いわれる。そのすがたを みたものは ぜんこくでも ほとんど いない。」 (It is still called a Mythical Pokémon. Its shape was seen by almost no one in the entire country.)BLG
    This entry uses the Japanese term for Mythical Pokémon (literally: Illusory Pokémon), but it predates the definitive split between Legendary and Mythical in English media. The localization calls Mew a "mirage" instead.
    In the localization, Mew is said to be a mirage by "many experts". However, the Japanese text does not mention any experts.
    In Japanese, it is said that almost no one has seen Mew in the entire country (全国(ぜんこく)). In English, this was changed to "worldwide".

Mew in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 
Mew trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Super Smash Bros. series

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 15,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Super Smash Bros. 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 Super Smash Bros. 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.

Mew returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U and comes out of a Poké Ball (rarely) and/or Master Ball (rare, but less rare than a Poké Ball).

Mew returns yet again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, once again as a rare Poké Ball summon, but also as a Spirit.

Throughout the series, Mew, much like Mewtwo, is roughly akin to its portrayal in the first movie, especially having Kōichi Yamadera reprise his role.

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."

3DS/Wii U trophy information

Mew appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

NA: Mew is a Pokémon previously thought to be extinct but rediscovered by Dr. Fuji. This Legendary Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it is considered quite lucky to see one. In Smash Bros., Mew will appear and then use Fly to sail away, leaving behind a gift. Thanks, Mew!

PAL: Mew was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered by Dr. Fuji in Guyana. This Mythical Pokémon doesn't often show itself to humans, so it's considered very lucky to see one. In this game, it will float upwards and leave a present behind. If only Mew would turn up more often, eh?

 
Mew in Pokémon Snap
 
Mew in Pokémon UNITE

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 2,500 points, making it the highest-ranking Pokémon in the game with the highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size, and pose.

Pokémon UNITE

Main article: Mew (UNITE)

Mew is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a ranged attacker.

Celestial

Mew appeared in the music video for Celestial by Ed Sheeran.

Trivia

 
Mew's discovery date.
  • Mew was designed by Shigeki Morimoto, which he states at the Heahea City GAME FREAK office. This included its pixel art, cry and Pokédex entry (the one reused in Pokémon FireRed). He also says it was right at the very end of game development.
  • Despite being a clone of Mew, Mewtwo appears before Mew in the Pokédex.
  • Mew is the only Pokémon out of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the Pokérap. This may be because Mew still wasn't announced outside of Japan at that time.
  • In Generations I and II, due to technical limitations, Mew's category name, New Species, is labeled in game as NEW SPECIE (and in early versions, labeled as NEWSPECIES).
  • 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.[3]
    • According to Shigeki Morimoto, the cartridges for Pokémon Red and Green had about 300 bytes of free space left after the debugging process was complete, and he thought of slotting Mew in as a last-minute addition, even after he was told not to tamper with the games post-debugging.[3] However, Pokémon Red and Green are 373 kilobytes in size and are housed in 512 kilobyte cartridges.[4][5]
    • 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.[6]
  • In the core series, Mew can only be fought as a wild Pokémon on Faraway Island in Pokémon Emerald. However, this requires the Old Sea Map, an event item only distributed in Japan and Taiwan.
  • Mew has the most anime opening appearances of any Mythical Pokémon, with seven in Japan.
  • Because Mew can learn any TM:
  • In Super Smash Bros., Mew 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).
 
A wild Mew found using the Mew glitch
  • The US release of Mew as an event for Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver happened on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of Gold and Silver.
  • In 2012, Mew was voted the most popular Legendary/Mythical Pokémon in the Pokémon Power Bracket, which consisted of all Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from the first four generations.
  • Mew started the trend of every generation until Generation VI introducing a Mythical 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.
  • At 981 episodes (and over two decades), Mew is the Pokémon species that has taken the longest to physically debut in the main anime series from the start of their generation out of any Pokémon thus far.
  • The only ways to legitimately obtain a Shiny Mew are via the Generation II Gotta Catch Em All Event in Thanksgiving 2002, the Old Sea Map on a Japanese copy of Pokémon Emerald, or through the Pokémon Go Mew Masterwork Research quest, which was available for a limited time in Pokémon GO during the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event and then became available again for players who missed purchasing it the first time for a few days in early July 2023.
    • Only the latter two can exist in modern games, as Gen II's "Gotta Catch Em All" Shiny Mew cannot legitimately be transferred to Generation III or later.
    • Mew is the only Pokémon that can be shiny while having the Mightiest Mark.
  • Mew is tied with Muk for the shortest English name of all Pokémon.
    • Mew has the shortest Korean name of all Pokémon, only consisting of one hangul character.
  • Mew is the only Pokémon obtainable in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! that cannot have the Pokémon GO origin mark ( ) in said games.
  • Mew is the only Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
  • As of Generation IX, Mew is the only Generation I Pokémon that does not appear in any regional Pokédex other than Kanto and Johto.
  • The symbol for the Fusion Strike expansion   resembles Mew's tail surrounded by Dynamax clouds.

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Designer Shigeki Morimoto stated that Mew's design was based on Mewtwo. Its design was made simpler than Mewtwo in order to take up less space on the cartridge.[7][8]

Mew's overall physical appearance appears to be based on domestic cats. Several of Mew's features, such as a short muzzle and large hind feet, are commonly found in cats. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a jerboa, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. Mew's earliest design in Pokémon Red and Green resembled a vertebrate embryo, featuring a large head and small body. Mew was soon revised and became mostly mammalian with cat-like traits, while still retaining several embryonic features such as having short fine hair and small forearms. Mew is believed by scientists to be the last universal common ancestor of all other Pokémon, which, along with its resemblance to an embryo, may be a reference to the recapitulation theory.

Name origin

Mew may be a combination of mutant or mutation and new. It may also involve 妙 myō (wonderful, exquisite).

According to Julien Bardakoff, the French localizer for Pokémon Red and Blue, he asked if Mew's name was based on the English onomatopoeia for a cat's meow, and was explicitly told it was not.[9]
