Mew is largely regarded as the first Pokémon to ever exist. Mew is a psychic type legendary Pokémon that was introduced in the very first generation. Mew is not known♕ to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Mew is also genderless. This little Pokémon is the last Pokémon in the Kanto Pokedex even though it technicཧally appeared before Mewtwo. This little Pokémon is pink with fur, so fine that it can only be seen underneath a microscope. Although it is little it has a ton of power and secret abilities that many people don't even know about.

In the Pokémon movies, this littleꦺ one shows signs of intelligence as well as affection towards Pokémon and trainers alike. Mew is also super playful and may not even realize that it is in a battle when it is, this happened when it was fighting Mewtwo in the very first movie. Mew had no idea about the seriousness of the situation and instead got distracted by bouncing on the orbs. Despite being playful and silly this Pokémon is very smart and knows how to use its intelligence to win a 𝕴battle that it would otherwise lose. Despite being a legendary Pokémon, Mew does have a couple of weaknesses.

20 Power: Mew Ca💟n Learn Any Move 🅰

Mew is a powerful Pokémon no matter what, it is extremely adaptable and is also a legendary, so any regular Pokémon will really have its hands full when it comes to this little one. Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon that has ever existed. As a result, Mew is able to learn any move that it chooses or that the trainer wants it to. This is a huge advantage in battle as Mew can literally be effective towards every type of Pokémon. Mew is said to be the first Pokémon to ever𝔉 exist which is why it seems to resemble an embryo in some aspects.

19 ꦿ Weakness: Emotions

Mew is a good Pokémon with a good heart. This sometimes leads it to being susceptible to battling with its heart instead of its mind. Mew has a very gentle spirit and actually hates battling unless it is absolutely necessary. Even in the first Pokémon movie when Mewtwo is attempting to take over the entire world, Mew tries to reason with it and get it to see the world in a whole new lig𓆏ht. Eventually, Mew's attempts are successful and Mewtwo stops what he is doing. Although having a good heart is not necessarily a weakness, Mew getting distracted by its emotions during a battle will leave it vulnerable to attack.

18 🔯 Power: Mew Can Transform Intoꦗ Any Pokémon

Another ability that Mew has is that it is able to transform like a Ditto. Mew🍨 can v𝔍irtually become any Pokémon that it has encountered in order to trick its opponent into using certain moves against it.

What is effective against the Pokémon it appears to be may not be effective against Mew.

Therefore, it will give Mew a bit of an upper hand until its identity is blown. There is even a theory that Ditto is a failed e𝔉xperiment to recreate Mew, which is why they share so many similarities and characteristics. Of course, this is just a theory and has never been confirmed in any movies or anime episodes.

17 𝄹 Weakness: Ghost Type Moves 💧

Ghost-type moves are pretty powerful towards most Pokémon but they are also a good type of mov🐼e to use against Mew as Mew is a psychic type Pokémon. Ghost-type moves inflict 1.25 more damage to Mew then any other moves will do. Ghost-type Pokémon are not damaged very much by psychic type moves so they will be able to withstand Mew's attacks for a decent amount of time, as long as they are leveled up properly. Gengar, Giratina, and Chandelure are all strong ghost type Pokဣémon that shouldn't do too bad in a battle against Mew.

16 👍 Power: Mew Can Fly 💯

Although Mew cannot necessarily “fly” in the sense of fla🥃pping its wings, it is able to travel through the air in order to get where it needs to go. It also typically battles in the air, as its size and speed gives it an advantage over its opponent. In the first Pokémon movie, Mew has a battle with Mewtwo in the air. Once they reconcile and realize that they 𝓰want the same thing then they fly off together. Mew has been spotted all over the world thanks to its ability to fly wherever it wishes at any moment.

15 Weakness: It Is Unable Tꦏo Learn Moves Specific To Pokémon

Although Mew has the DNA of all Pokémon and is, therefore, able to learn every single move imaginable, Mew is unable to learn moves that are specific to Pokémon. So if a move is specific to a Pokémon or group of Pokémon the Mew will be unable to learn it. For example, Mew is not able to use Draco Meteor or Secret Sword. This is a weakness of Mew’s because some of the moves specific to Pokémon are the most powerful and effective in battle. If ever battling a Mew, using a move that is specific to♕ your Pokémon may be a good tactic as Mew will be unable to use it and may not be equipped to defend against it.

14 💯 Power: Mew Can Also Travel Underwater

Mew is one🌺 of the most adaptable Pokémon that there is and can also travel through the water with no problem. This allows it to have yet another advantage as it can escape through the water when need be.

Mew’s ability to travel through the water also allows Mew to travel great distances.

Even though Mew can travel by water, it prefers to travel in the air and almost never touches the ground. Mew has no problem holding its breath ༺underwater so it can travel extremely long distances at a time. Since it is able to travel by air and water, Mew really is able to work with whatever environment it is given.

13 ♔ Weakness: Captivate Doesn't Work

Mew is a powerful Pokémon that knows a ton of moves. However, it is also a genderless Pok🍰émon, so the move captivate doesn't work. Mew know😼s this move and may even attempt to use it, but it will never have any effect on the opponent that it is trying to fight.

Captivate is a non-damaging normal type move that is meant to lower the Special Attack stat of the target by two stages.

But this only works if the Pokémon they are battling is of the opposite gender, heꦇnce the move not working when the💟 Pokémon is genderless. Mew is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn this move, however, it still fails when used by it.

12 ꧙ Power: Mew Protects Itself With🦩 An Orb

Mew is a psychic type, so it is able to do some pretty pow⛄erful moves. One thing that Mew is able to do is create a pink, yellow, or green orb of energy. This orb surrounds Mew so that it is protected during battle. This orb takes all of the hits from the battle so that Mew does not receive much damage, if any. In the very first Pokémon movie, both ༺Mew and Mewtwo surrounded themselves in these orbs in order to protect themselves from one another. Mew can even create orbs around itself to bounce off of or help others during a fight.

11 Weaknꦛess: Too 🃏Playful

Mew can be a little bit too playful at timꦚes, as Mew does seem to resemble an infant or child. Although Mew is one of the most intelligent Pokém♍on out there, it gets distracted easily and can sometimes misjudge a situation. Mew gets distracted very easily by all of the things around it and even by its own power at times. This leaves Mew vulnerable to attacks by its opponent during these moments of distraction. In the very first Pokémon movie, Mew takes advantage of Mew being distracted by the orbs to throw a pretty powerful ball of energy at it. Luckily for Mew, it was able to recover quickly and get on with the battle.
