Mew Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon meta, At 600 BST, Mew is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Mythical Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a sweeper. Stealth Rock with Mental Herb is the standard set.
Synchronize copies burns, paralysis, and poison received onto the Pokémon that inflicted them. That's the one you want on Mew. It's the only ability Mew has.
Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Mew is a special attacker with base 100 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a sweeper.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Stealth Rock, Taunt, Ice Beam, and Thunder Wave on Mew. Stealth Rock is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Mew first appeared in Red & Blue and has been available in 20 titles. Mythical distribution means event-only access in most games, making it one of the harder Pokemon to collect.
