Obtaining Mew
Once you have completed all of the Snapshot Surprise missions, Professor Neroli speculates that Mew will appear to you during your next sleep. He is right! After your next sleep session the Mythical Pokémon Mew will appear.
Much like Darkrai, you can only obtain one Mew. It will automatically be recruited to your team when you awake it from sleep. Professor Neroli will advise that Mew can appear during each New Moon Day event, and you will also be given a Eureka Seed to use on your Mew. Eureka Seeds can be used to change your Mew’s ingredients, add Sub Skills, or change Sub Skills.
Mew is a Psychic type Pokémon, whose speciality is all, meaning berries, ingredients and skills. It has the Main Skill Versatile (Metronome).

It can have a variety of different ingredients: Large Leeks, Fancy Egg, Fiery Herb, Bean Sausage, Pure Oil, Greengrass Soybeans, Glossy Avocado and Slowpoke Tail.
