Mew

Pokémon GO Mew is a Psychic Mythical Pokémon, said to have the DNA of every Pokémon, and is a part of the Mew duo, along with Mewtwo. A shiny Mew has also been found in the network data. Mew has a Max CP of 3090. Mew has all around decent stats, 210 each for ATk and DEF and 200 HP, with its primary interest being in learning eight different charged moves.

This follows the original games’ lore, where Mew can 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 in the Pokémon Go meta

Mew is a versatile attacker, with its signature moveset being Pound Normal and Psychic Psychic, however the bevy of powerful attacks it has allows it to fit nearly any role it might need to. In terms of raw DPS, Solar Beam is the strongest move Mew can have, at least in scenarios where mew deals neutral damage.

Mew is a pure Psychic and will resist Fighting and Psychic moves (0.714 damage), while also being dealt super effective damage (1.4x) from Bug, Ghost, and Dark. It will not be a powerhouse by any means, but considering an above average 210 attack and its versatility, it might just be able to fill a team lacking in a certain type of Pokémon.

Mew’s Most Useful Movesets in Pokémon Go

Mew has access to the moves listed above, and while it is less than the main series games (where Mew can learn every single move barring exclusive Tutor or Pokémon specific moves), it lends to its high versatility as an attacker.

It is unknown, but expected for Mew to not be allowed in gyms, so a defender aspect is not an option, and as for offense, its highest DPS comes from STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) with Psychic, although in neutral situations,  as previously mentioned, Solar Beam is the optimal charge move.

For a more in depth analysis on Mew’s most useful movesets based on type advantage, we recommend the Mythical Meta Guide here and Mew’s Most Useful Movesets (work in progress), both of which were written by TomSharpe.

Shiny Mew in Pokémon Go

Regular Mew is the usual light pink throughout its body. Its shiny variant switches to a light blue, with no changes to its blue eye color. A Shiny Mew is available in the game’s network traffic.
