Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) is a Psychic type Pokémon. It is usually obtainable only by having it transferred to a player's cartridge at special Nintendo-sponsored events. In Pokémon Emerald, Faraway Island exists, allowing players to actually capture Mew, but access to this island requires an Old Sea Chart 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 move, unique amongst all known Pokémon.
Mew does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, and is the last Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex.
Biology
Physiology
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 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.
Gender differences
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 transform into any one of the other nearly 500 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every type of attack possible.
Behavior
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.
Habitat
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 have had sights of Mew in 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".
Diet
Main article: 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.
In the anime
Two different Mew appeared in Pokémon movies. In the first, Mewtwo Strikes Back, Mew engaged in a battle with its clone, Mewtwo. In the eighth movie, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, another Mew kidnapped Ash's Pikachu and Meowth. 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.
A Mirage Mew appears in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon, and helps to frustrate the plans of Mirage Master.
Nando has a harp that is designed on a Mew.
In the manga
Pokémon Special
Mew debuted in its own round in the Red, Green & Blue chapter, A Glimpse of the Glow. Here, Red and 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 Fire Red Leaf Green saga, where it saved Red and the people of Vermilion City from the impending crash of the TR helicopter.
In the TCG
The first set that Mew appeared in was the Japanese Fossil set. This card was removed from the English set and was released as a black star promo card instead, this promo has a foil and a non-foil version, with each a different number (foil: 9, non-foil: 8). Mew has also made several more recent occurrences in trading card sets. It has been in Expedition Base Set, EX Legend Maker (1 normal, 1 Pokémon-ex), EX Holon Phantoms (1 normal, 1 Pokémon-ex), EX Dragon Frontiers (as a Pokémon*), POP4 (foil and non-foil) and POP5.
Mew has had many promo cards. In English, there are the 2 above-mentioned black star promo Mew, lilypad Mew (black star promo #47) and Southern Islands. There are several promo Mew cards in Japanese which never got translated, like shiny Mew (a CoroCoro promo), the Japanese players' promo Mew ex and a Pokéball promo Mew.
Mew also appears on some trainer cards, like the Japanese Lucky Stadium, the very rare Mew trophy card given to the winners of the summer challenge in Japan. But also on some regular Trainer cards a Mew can be seen, like Pokémon Fan Club (POP4) and Fieldworker. Mew is also present in some current decks, for example, Mewtrick, the deck which won Worlds 2006, and also Destiny, a new but very popular deck.
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
After unlocking every character, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poke Ball recieves 10,000 bonus points for the Mew Catcher bonus.

Game locations
Mew can be obtained in the Pokémon Red and Blue versions by using the Mew glitch. The Mew glitch also enable countless other normal and rarely-seen glitched Pokémon to be seen and captured, although some of them have been known to cause trouble to people's games.
Mew is otherwise obtainable only in Nintendo promotional events, 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.
In Generation III onward, Mew does not obey when found in the wild by use of a cheating device.

- 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.
- ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
- 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.
- ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.
- Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original Pokérap.
- Mew was a little known secret when Pokémon Red and Green were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that Satoshi Tajiri had programmed it into the game.
- The user-designed Neopet species known as the Shoyru was based on Mew with draconic aspects added.
- Lost scientific reports found in the burned mansion of Cinnabar Island explains 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. Possibly, Mew was fertilized in vitro, and thus it could give birth. This may account for the fact that Nidorina and Nidoqueen are, too, incapable of producing eggs: They are fertilized by their male counterparts and reproduce in a mammal-like fashion.
- In Generation III, Mew was the only Kanto Pokémon not catchable in either FireRed or LeafGreen, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in Emerald. It received an in-game location while Jirachi did not.
- Starting with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, a special flag must be set on Mew, otherwise it will not obey its trainer. This also goes for Deoxys.
- Mew is the only Genderless Pokémon able to learn Attract and Captivate; however, upon use, they will always fail.
- Mew was considered by many to be the creator of all Pokémon until Generation IV, when Arceus is said in legend to be the "Original One" who shaped the universe with its 1,000 arms.
Origin
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 identical at an early stage of development.
Name origin
Mew's name may refer to its cat-like appearance, with mew being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word unique (myō), or the English word mutant (myūtanto).
