Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) 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 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 and tutor 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.

Habitat
Mew can live almost anywhere. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have seen it.

In the anime
Mew appeared in two Pokémon movies. In the first, Mewtwo Strikes Back, it engaged in a battle with its clone, Mewtwo. In the eighth movie, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Mew kidnapped Ash's Pikachu and Meowth. In the first movie, it was voiced by 山寺宏一 Kōichi Yamadera, while in the eighth, it was voiced by こおろぎさとみ Satomi Kōrogi.
Jirarudan'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.
In the manga
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 PROMO card instead. Mew has also made several more recent occurances in trading card sets. It has been in e-Expedition Base Set, EX: Ledgend Maker, EX: Holon Phantoms, and in the future release of EX: Dragon Frontiers as the all-new Mew star.
Other appearances
After unlocking every character, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. It does not affect the battle but the thrower of the Pokéball will earn a bonus 10,000 points and trophy of Mew.
