Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew, German, French: Mew, Korean: 뮤 Myu) is a Psychic type Pokémon. It is usually obtainable only by having it transferred to your cartridge at special Nintendo-sponsored events. In Pokémon Emerald there is Faraway Island where you can capture Mew, but access to this island requires an Old Sea Map item which is also only available through special events.

Mew's ability is Synchronize, which copies any status ailments the Pokémon might have over to its opponent.

Mew has been notorious since its discovery for its ability to learn every machine and tutor move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.

Mew does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.

Flavor text

Pokémon Emerald

A Mew is said to possess the genes of all Pokémon. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people.

Name origin

Mew's name refers to its cat-like appearance, with mew being the sound a kitten makes.

Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to an animal embryo. It is purported to be the first Pokémon from which all others are descended, in the same way that all animal embryos look indentical at an early stage of development.
