Mew glitch: Difference between revisions

For this method, the player first needs a Pokémon with a Special Stat of 21. It doesn't matter if the stat was naturally leveled or boosted with [[Vitamin#Calcium|calcium]] as long as it's not due to an in-battle special boosting skill. Once the player has this Pokémon, the player needs to find ANY trainer in the game that will engage in battle the moment the trainer is on screen and the player is in the trainer's line of sight. The most common examples are the [[Gambler]] east of [[Saffron City]] and the [[Camper|Junior Trainer]] in the high grass west of Nugget Bridge. Often people have already fought these trainers, so other later-game trainers include a couple [[Biker|Bikers]] on [[Route 17]] (Cycling Road) or the four trainers on the west side of Route 14 (three [[Biker]]s and one [[Bird Keeper]]). The player then needs to get the trainer off screen. Next, take a single step towards him, enough for him to start the battle, and '''immediately''' press START before he spots the player and the exclamation point appears. Once the player has pressed start and the start menu appears, the trainer needs to {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, or {{m|Teleport}} elsewhere. The location being traveled to must have a path via which the player can walk both to a place where there is wild {{p|Ditto}} (such as [[Route 15]] east of [[Fuchsia City]]) and after to a place with a trainer to fight. This is because the start button will no longer work until after a battle with a trainer (to be mentioned) because the game has been tricked into thinking it's in battle mode. Once the battle with the trainer the player picked was evaded successfully, the player then needs to battle ANY trainer in the game, as long as there is one space between the player and the trainer when the battle is initiated so that the trainer has to walk up to the player and the player doesn't approach the trainer directly. After defeating the trainer, the player needs to find a wild {{p|Ditto}}, and battle it until it uses {{m|Transform}} on the player's Pokémon with the Special Stat of 21. After defeating the Ditto (with any of the player's six Pokémon), the player needs to avoid running into any other wild Pokémon and/or battling any other trainers, and go back to the Route where the trainer the player first evaded is located (for the Gambler, east of Saffron City, for the Bikers, Route 14; etc.). Once the Route is approached, the start menu will automatically appear. The player needs to press the B Button. A battle will begin immediately and a lvl 7 {{p|Mew}} will appear.

It is important to note that in the Yellow version, wild Ditto ''cannot'' be found at Route 15. Instead, Yellow version players should follow all of the steps above, but instead go to the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}'s basement located in [[Cinnabar Island]]. This is because Ditto can be found there in the Yellow version. Also, Yellow version players must bring an Escape Rope, Repel, or a Pokémon with teleport with them to use immediately after defeating a wild Ditto so that the player will not fail the glitch by running into the wrong Pokémon.
