Moveset Combinations

Offense Movesets + Utility Movesets


This move combinations prioritizes increasing Mew's damage output. For offense, going for Solar Beam gives the Pokemon a passive, long-ranged approach, while Electro Ball allows Mew to get aggressive with its stun capability. For utility, Agility makes Mew nimble enough to maneuver around its opponents while dealing damage. On the other hand, shooting Electro Ball or Solar Beam through a Light Screen increases its effectiveness.

Offense-Focused Build Explanation

This build turns Mew into a dedicated damage dealer. To maximize damage, Mew needs to stay at the backlines during team fights and keep a safe distance away from enemies, since the build lacks defensive items. Although Mew can switch back and forth between its moveset, it will mostly rely on Light Screen and Solar Beam or Electro Ball as the main sources of damage due to their synergy and damage. Mew can also learn Agility as a repositioning tool if needed.

  • Wise Glasses provides Mew a large Sp. Atk. stat boost thanks to its percentage bonus.
  • Choice Specs gives Mew more Sp. Atk. stat and increases its minimum move damage.
  • Slick Spoon further adds more Sp. Atk. stat and grants Mew Sp. Def. penetration for its moves. It also gives a decent amount of HP for some durability.
  • Eject Button gives Mew a reliable reposition tool to keep its distance from enemies.
  • X Speed can also work with the build for the same purpose.
  • The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Black Emblems for some move cooldown reduction and 6 Green Emblem to maximize its damage. This can be achieved by equipping at least three (3) Emblems that are both Black and Green.
  • Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk. to further improve Mew's move damage.
  • Attack, Critical-Hit Rate, Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Since the build focuses on offense, equipping items that will maximize Mew's damage, particularly for Electro Ball and Solar Beam, is the ideal item combination.

Out of all the item combinations, Wise Glasses, Choice Specs, and Slick Spoon will yield the best outcome for the build. The item combination's results are only slightly lower than the highest score but does not require Mew to stack any item to maximize its damage.


These damage tests are conducted in Practice Mode with Goodra as the Training Partner. The Pokemon is set to level 15 and has no items equipped. The results are taken by substracting the Pokemon's max HP and its HP after taking damage.

Moveset Combinations

Offense Movesets + Utility Movesets


This combination makes Mew act like an offensive-support Pokemon that enhances its teammates' effectiveness in battle and still contribute to the team's overall offense. Mew can sit at the backlines and provide suppressing fire with Solar Beam while increasing its allies' attack speed with Coaching or hinder enemy movement with Light Screen. Additionally, having extra HP from boost emblems and Buddy Barrier allows Mew to engage and disable opponents in fights using Surf.

Support-Focused Build Explanation

This build focuses on enhancing the team's effectiveness in combat while providing suppressing fire from a safe distance, turning Mew into a support Pokemon. It mainly revolves around shielding and buffing allies with Coaching, all while taking advantage of Synchronize's movement speed buff.

  • Exp. Share is Mew's primary support item, allowing its lane partner to level up faster and giving Mew a passive source of EXP. It also gives a decent movement speed boost for rotating and roaming the map and additional HP for durability.
  • Slick Spoon gives Mew Sp. Atk. and HP stats, and allows it to ignore a portion of its targets' Sp. Def., resulting to more damage.
  • Buddy Barrier provides an ample amount of HP to prolong Mew's life while it's supporting its team. It can also support an ally by giving it a shield when Mew uses its Unite Move.
  • Eject Button gives Mew a reliable reposition tool to keep its distance from enemies.
  • X Speed can also work with the build for the same purpose.
  • The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 7 Black Emblems for some move cooldown reduction and 6 Green Emblem to maximize its damage. This can be achieved by equipping at least three (3) Emblems that are both Black and Green.
  • Equip Emblems that improve Sp. Atk. to further improve Mew's move damage.
  • Attack, Critical-Hit Rate, Sp. Def., and Defense can be freely traded for the other stats.

Since the build focuses more on support, equipping items that will allow Mew to help its allies in any way is the ideal item combination. Exp. Share and Buddy Barrier are core items for the build, leaving only one item for consideration. The item for consideration should be the one that maximize Mew's damage.

Out of all the items tested, Slick Spoon will be the most benefitial for the build. The item gives a decent damage boost without the need to stack it and also provides a nice amount of HP for some durability.

How to Play Mew

Jump to a Section

Race to Level 5

Mew's power spike goes online when it reaches level 5. During the early game, it is best to focus on farming Wild Pokemon instead of prioritizing getting kills - unless opponents overextend.

Pick Electro Ball + Agility as Your Starting Moveset

For the best start, we recommend learning Electro Ball first as your damaging move because of its low cooldown and sure-hit move type. Then, when Mew reaches level 3, learn Agility to get extra mobility. This combination of moves gives Mew enough flexibility for farming Wild Pokemon or engaging in brawls with opponents during the early game.

Go to the Jungle Path for Fast EXP

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Taking the Jungler Role.png

The fastest way to reach high levels during the early game is to take the Jungler role and farm the Wild Pokemon present in the central area of the map. Here, you will most likely be alone in farming, giving you the full EXP.

Jungle Guide and Best Junglers

Never Fight Alone

Although Mew is capable of adapting to any situation with its Move Reset mechanic, you will find that it can still take time to shift between playstyles in the heat of battle. To increase your chance of survival and maximize your damage output, it is still best to treat Mew as a squishy Attacker that is at its best when it is close to its allies.

Activate Moves Near Allies

Thanks to Synchronize, each time the Mew uses a move, it and nearby ally Pokemon will have their movement speed increased for a short time. Aside from spamming moves whenever they are ready, always keep in mind where you activate your moves so your teammates can benefit from the extra effect, especially for moments where movement speed is important like retreating from a losing fight or chasing enemies.

Move Reset Mechanic Strategy

When Mew reaches level 5, it will have access to the Move Reset icon, which can be used to change its current moveset for a new one. This allows you to change your playstyle on the fly and adapt to any situation. While this mechanic is straightforward enough, here are some strategies to take note of to maximize the move's value:

Swap Out Moves That are on Cooldown

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Swapping Out a cooldown move

It is possible to switch out a move while it is still on cooldown. For example, after using Surf, you do not have to wait for its long cooldown to finish. Instead, you can use Move Reset to quickly switch to either Electro Ball or Solar Beam to maintain the offensive. You can do this with your other moveset too. So, try to exhaust your current moves first before switching to your other moves to get maximum value!

Reduce Move Reset Cooldown by Staying Active

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Scoring a Goal Zone

Synchronize's cooldown is reduced each time you knock out or assist in knocking out an opponent or score a goal. This incentivizes you for participating in team activities throughout the game by sticking with your allies, hunting down targets, or scoring points to utilize it. A good strategy is to score small amounts of points in quick succession to reduce Synchronize's cooldown as fast as possible.

Change Moves Based on Playstyle

Synchronize gives Mew a dynamic feel in battle. Once activated, you will get to select one (1) out of three (3) moves for each of your move slots. Since there are many moveset combinations that you can do, knowing which of them goes well with the other can be beneficial in realizing Mew's playstyle, especially in the heat of combat. Below are our suggestions for moveset combinations:

Burst Down Targets with Electro Ball

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Bursting Down a Target with Electro Ball.png

Electro Ball is a straightforward, damage move that is great for brawls. Although its range is a bit short, you will find its sure-hit type beneficial for dealing quick damage. Overall, its ability to stun targets while also being able to burst down low HP opponents makes it a great finisher move.

Electro Ball: Mew Move Effect and Cooldown

Snipe Targets from Afar with Solar Beam

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Bursting Down Duraludon with Solar Beam.png

Solar Beam is a long-ranged move that is capable of dealing massive amounts of damage on multiple enemies. One key mechanic of the move is its ability to reduce the cooldown for each opponent it hits once it is upgraded. However, you may find the move to be.

Solar Beam: Mew Move Effect and Cooldown

Disable Opponents Surf

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Riding the Waves with Surf.png

Surf is a great move that is useful for disrupting the opposing team during team fights. It is also a great initiating tool thanks to the defense buff it provides. Keep in mind, however, that it has a long cooldown, so plan your Surf activations accordingly.

Surf: Mew Move Effect and Cooldown

Get Extra Mobility with Agility

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Retreating with Agility.png

Agility is a quick and effective dash move that can be used to maneuver Mew around the battlefield to get clear shots. It also replenishes Mew's Boosted Meter when used, allowing you to easily pressure opponents constantly.

Surf: Mew Move Effect and Cooldown

Block Enemy Paths with Light Screen

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Setting Up Light Screen.png

Set up Light Screen to displace and hinder enemy movement. You can even use its second activation to turn the wall into a shield for extra protection. Moreover, you can use it to combo off with your damaging moves as attacking through the wall boosts their effectiveness.

Light Screen: Mew Move Effect and Cooldown

Protect Allies with Coaching

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Protecting Allies with Coaching.png

Coaching is a great support-based move that allows you to give your teammates buffs and shields in quick succession. One key interaction with this move is its ability to reduce your damaging move's cooldown by a significant amount if you manage to use Coaching on multiple allies.

Coaching: Mew Move Effect and Cooldown

Reserve Mystical Mirage for Team Fights

Pokemon UNITE - Mew Using Mystical Mirage in Team Fight

Mystical Mirage is a great utility move perfect for team clashes. Activating it will make you and each ally within the area invisible, essentially making the team untargettable for a short time. This will make securing objectives much harder for the enemy team as they won't be able to line their shots properly.

Mystical Mirage: Mew UNITE Move Effect and Cooldown

Does Not Block Area of Effect Damage

Keep in mind that Mystical Mirage does not protect you against AoE damage from the enemy team. If enemy moves like Fanciful Fireworks or Sand Stream are in effect when you activate Mystical Mirage, you and your team will still take damage.

Synchronize Reduces Unite Move Cooldown

Each time you activate Synchronize, Mystical Mirage's cooldown will be reduced by 7 seconds. This means that you can keep your Unite Move online if you manage to take advantage of Synchronize's cooldown reduction mechanic. A good strategy is to keep activating Move Reset every time it is available. Since you are not forced to pick other moves in the pool, you can still re-select the moves you are currently running and only take advantage of the cooldown reduction!

Mew Progression and Leveling Guide

Top or Bottom Lane Guide

Level Objectives
1 - 4 • Learn Electro Ball as your initial damaging move. Secure as many wild Pokemon as you can to get to higher levels quickly. You can then learn Light Screen for blocking opponents when contesting Wild Pokemon spawns, or learn Agility if you want to get aggressive.
• Make sure to activate your moves near your allies so they can get the movement speed buff from Synchronize.
• If you're at the bottom lane, prioritize taking Indeedees for more EXP.
5 - 8 • Once you reach level 5 and get Move Reset, you can then change your initial moveset to your preferred combination.
• Reach level 7 to access your other moveset.
• Help your allies secure Regice, Registeel, or Regirock at the bottom lane, and Regieleki after. Use Solar Beam for a better chance of securing objectives.
• When Mew reaches level 8 and learns Mystical Mirage you can then transition to getting aggressive with your teammates and push lanes.
9+ • Stick with your team to hunt targets, secure objectives, and push lanes to utilize Synchrnoize.
• Reach at least level 13 before or when Rayquaza spawns for a fully-ugraded moveset and better stats
• Make sure you have Mystical Mirage available when Rayquaza spawns. Activate it before the team clash happens to protect your allies from the initial wave of moves thrown by your opponents.
• Help your allies win the teamfight and secure Rayquaza. Otherwise, knock down your opponents before they can score their points.

Jungle Guide

Level Objectives
1 - 5 • Learn Electro Ball first and take advantage of its sure-hit controls and fast cooldown to farm Wild Pokemon. Learn Agility next for better mobility when navigating the jungle area.
• Clear the first wave of jungle camps and reach level 5 to get Move Reset and switch your moveset to your desired combination.
• Transition to a lane and help your teammates secure the Altaria and Swablus spawn, getting kills, and scoring points if you can.
6 - 8 • Clear the second wave of jungle camps. At the 8-minute (8:00) mark of the match, go to the Legendary Pit where Rayquaza spawns and farm the extra Altaria and Swablus spawn.
• If possible, reach level 8 to get Mystical Mirage before or when objectives spawn.
• Help your allies get Regice, Registeel, or Regirock at the bottom lane, and Regieleki after. Use Solar Beam for a better chance of securing objectives.
9+ • Stick with your allies to hunt targets, secure objectives, and push lanes to utilize Synchronize
• Reach level 13 or higher before or when Rayquaza spawns for a fully-upgraded moveset
• Save your Mystical Mirage activation when Rayquaza spawns
• Since you have a relatively higher level as a jungler, you can focus on picking off the enemy team to open up Rayquaza for the taking.

This combo utilizes Agility to dash around the target and burst them down with attacks. Before doing this combo, make sure to have two (2) charges of Agility available. Start by using the first Agility charge to reposition Mew near the target. Once close enough, hit them with an Electro Ball. Use the second Agility charge immediately after. Use it to reposition Mew away from the target. At this point, your boosted attack will be full, which you will use to deal heavy damage. After that, immediately use Move Reset to change your damaging move. Pick Solar Beam to deal massive amounts of damage from afar, or pickSurf if you want to disable the target.

Hard Counter by Closing the Gap

Pokemon that can that can get close and beatdown Mew quick enough before it takes advantage of Move reset will have a high chance of winning the brawl against the Pokemon. Although Mew has an escape tool via Agility, the move's short range does not give the Pokemon a clean getaway move. Moreover, having a dash move of your own can help you dodge moves attacks and catch up to it when it tries to escape.

• Use Agility or Coaching to dodge their crowd control moves and outmaneuver them.

Avoid or Disrupt Their Combos

Combo-Heavy Pokemon

How to Beat
• These Pokemon deal heavy damage through combos, so prevent their setups by using Light Screen.
• Stay at the backlines and use Solar Beam to discourage them from approaching you.
• Use Agility or Coaching in order to dodge their initial setup and avoid 1v1 fights as much as possible.

Easy Matchups for Mew

When fighting these Pokemon, Move Reset is not that important compared to fighting Mew's couters and eve matchups. You can just stick to moves that you are comfortable with and find that they are sufficient for staving off these Pokemon.

Utilize the Ranged Advantage

Pokemon that Rely Melee Attacks
Charizard Image Garchomp Image
How to Beat
• These Pokemon can rip their targets to shreds once they are close enough. Fortunately, their mobility moves are not that effective and can be taken advantage of. Walling them off with a Light Screen or getting ground with Agility will make it harder for them to get in position.
• For Charizard, cripple its progression by knocking it out and stealing its farm in the early game. Once it reaches level 9, you only need to avoid getting caught by Seismic Slam to win against it.
• The combination of slow and quick cooldown from Electro Ball will be enough to pressure them constantly before they can reach Mew.

• Thanks to Mew's Move Reset ability, it is able to get the upper hand towards these Pokemon by switching its playstyle and exploit their weaknesses. When fighting long- ranged Attackers like Decidueye or Duraludon, it is best to use Agility to reposition and evade their attacks while countering with a Solar Beam.
• When fighting them during a clash, negate some of their AoE damage applying shields to your whole team with Coaching.
• Take advantage of Electro Ball's low cooldown to pressure them out of position.

How to Beat
•These Pokemon are great at disabling single targets. Whil they are able to shut Mew down for a moment, their effectiveness rely on how their teammates captilize on them. You can counter their disables by getting out of their range by dashing with Agility or, when an ally is near, teleport to an ally with Coaching
• When you are at long range, pressure them with Solar Beam attacks.
