Mew Weakness

Mew's Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Mew's overall bulk (100/100/100) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Let's Go Mew Best Moveset

100 across every stat. The moveset can run physical, special, support, or any role the team needs because the stats support all of it equally. Without abilities or items to differentiate strategies, Mew's versatile movepool becomes the only differentiator. The format rewards flexibility, and nothing is more flexible.

Best Nature for Mew
Lonely+ATK
Madam Celadon Colors
Species Candy
Mew Candy
Stat Candy

Lonely raises Attack and lowers Defense. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Red, then Yellow. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.

Candy for Mew

Mew Candy raises every stat, but only Mew can eat it. The stat candy that goes with Mew is Health Candy (HP), and any Pokemon can eat it; Health Candy L needs level 30 and Health Candy XL needs level 60 or higher.

Moves List

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Mew won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 17 types means it always has an effective option. Dream Eater and Psychic anchor the STAB core.
