Pokédex Entry

New Species Pokémon

Because it can learn any move, some people began research to see if it is the ancestor of all Pokémon. Mew is in Faraway Jungle at Level 30. You need the Old Sea Map from Pokémon Mansion B1F to access it. Its actually a lower level legendaries which makes catching it easier! The whole idea behind Mew is that it learns literally *everything*. Every TM, every tutor move... thats the point. It also has even BST. Together this means you can make it whatever you want! It isn't amazing at anything specific though. Synchronize lets you pass status back which is fun. Banned from Battle Tower Remember, every Legendary will have 3 perfect IVs when caught.
