Anybody else feel disappointed by the 'Mew' event pokemon?

[Smiffy01]

I managed to get a code from my local GAME store hre where I live in the UK and I was SO excited about getting it, I entered the code, got the Mew and then looked at its summary, my face dropped, level 100 with its only move being pound?? Like seriously? I realize yes it is all for the 20th anniversary of pokemon which I love and all, but I was hoping for a few awesome unique moves that it might know, similar to other legendary pokemon.

Anybody else felt this disappointment when you got it?

I don't feel this way. I mean, you could teach it any move you want; I wasn't expecting anything super special about it. Besides, it's a Mew; the thing's rare enough to get as it is, so I'm happy with what I have. :P

fair point, indeed it is a mew of which is one of the rarest pokemon going in the history of pokemon so I am happy to simply have a mew haha your right :D

Moved this over to Pokémon Gaming Central, since the Mew event isn't strictly OR/AS. But yea, the nice thing about it being level 100 is that you can teach it all the moves in its learnset via the Move Relearner. Not to mention, the amazing thing about Mew is that it can learn every TM and HM move. And of course, as flight mentioned, it's a pretty rare Poke in general. After this, there probably won't be another opportunity to get another one in years--at least not through legitimate means.

I haven't gotten my Mew yet...damn you Sweden and your lateness!!!

Pound is not really a disappointing move for this Mew, especially since Mew's movepool is already as versatile as it is with being able to learn every single TM, so you can literally make it do whatever you want it to do in battle and more.

I can't even get the cards at any of my game stores. They're all out.

I got mine yesterday! I haven't gotten the nature I want yet so I am still resetting for a better one. I've never legally owned a Mew before so I am so excited :D

Ive never really experimented before, is it possible to SR for a legit 6IV event pokemon like this or do they cap out in any way?

 

[khaozz]

I think Mew only having Pound as its move could be a reference to the Gen 1 Mew Glitch. When you performed the Mew Glitch, you could get a Mew, usually at Level 7, which meant that its only move was Pound.

Either that or those who made the event were lazy.

I don't care about the move, I care about the level. I like using event stuff on a playthrough tbh, so...you know. With a level 100 Pokemon, there's not really any room to grow there. Last time we had a Mew event was HGSS and the Mew was like...level 10, I believe? So I used it on my team and it was fun! But we can't do that with a level 100 one so. :( That sucks.

But for the moves, I mean, you can teach it literally whatever your little heart desires...haha.

HG/SS Mew was level 5 I believe and yes I liked that too.

Yeah, Mew doesn't really need a special/exclusive move when it can learn anything. That's it's niche. Plus it's purdy.

I thought it was okay...nothing great but nothing bad. I think they could have done just a little more for it though.

No I was really happy to finally have a Mew. I taught my Mew Flash Cannon, Scald, Dazzling Gleam, and Psychic. I got my Mew card on February 1. I recommend going to your local store on the first day, they should not run out of cards on day 1

 

[pkmin3033]

Not really, before I picked one up I didn't HAVE a Mew anymore, so anything is better than nothing. I wasn't planning on using it for anything, and as it can learn pretty much anything, if I DID want to use it then it wouldn't be difficult to make it useable. I'm just happy to have one again <3

I'm not too bothered by the moveset. I didn't have a chance to get to the event myself, so I was just relieved to get one from someone else, even if it's cloned and not my own unique Mew. I probably will leave it untouched anyway, seeing as it's at level 100, but I figure between TMs, tutors, and the move relearner, I should be able to teach it everything I want.
