{{bp|Mew}}, the secret 151st Pokémon is so rare that you won't be able to find it in your game in any conventional manner. While you can still get credit for filling your Pokédex without it, it's a great Pokémon that you probably won't want to miss. | {{bp|Mew}}, the secret 151st Pokémon is so rare that you won't be able to find it in your game in any conventional manner.

Once thought to be a mere rumor in many parts of the world, Mew has never been seen in captivity. This ultra-rare Psychic-type only learns Normal and Psychic-type attacks as it levels up, but it also possesses the ability to learn every single TM and HM ever created. Of course, such powers make this Pokémon extremely sought after by collectors. Mew may not be as powerful as its genetic heir, {{bp|Mewtwo}}, but with strong stats in every category and the ability to learn any TM and HM, it's easily one of the best Pokémon in the game. It can even learn Transform, and with its high stats, can do it better than {{bp|Ditto}}! Keep in mind, however, that Mew is banned from most competitive matches. | Once thought to be a mere rumor in many parts of the world, Mew has never been seen in captivity.

==Get other rare Pokémon== | |||
You can also do this glitch battling other trainers besides the Youngster. Each trainer results in different Pokémon, just like Mew, at level 7. You can get other rare Pokémon this way. | |||
'''Warning:''' Do not talk to the ghost girl in Lavender. Doing so will trigger a glitch battle, slowdown, and game crashes. | |||
You can get a chance at a Chansey early on in the Red version by applying the mew glitch and battling a trainer on the [[../S.S. Anne|S.S. Anne]] in Vermilion City at level 7. You can also acquire a Blue game only {{bp|Pinsir}} on the Red Version, as well as {{bp|Magmar}} and {{bp|Mr. Mime}} using the same mew glitch and battling trainers on the road past [[../Diglett's Cave|Diglett's Cave]]. | |||
#Follow steps 1 through 6 as described in Method 2 above | |||
#Instead of flying to route #25, fly to Lavender Town. Make sure you didn't fight all the trainers in the area, and fight any random trainer that is NOT on Route 7. | |||
#Now go and find a Ditto. Make it use transform on one of your Pokémon. Fight or run away from it, but do NOT catch it (as the special stat value will reset to the original ditto); then depending on the value of your Pokémon's Special stat when you return to Route 7 your menu will pop up and you will fight anything from Alakazam (Special stat of 149) to Sandshrew(96)/Ekans(108) on the opposite version. You can look below to find the correct Special stat to correspond to ''any'' Pokémon you want! (The Special stat that corresponds to Mew is 21 which is why this glitch works. You can actually get infinite Mew's with this glitch as long as you have a Pokémon with the Special stat of 21 and enough Trainers to get out of the glitch.) | |||
