How to find Mew in Pokemon Red - Blue

Using this method, you can find Mew in the game Pokemon Red / Blue or Yellow. This may require completing the game from the beginning, depending on how far you've come. But isn't it worth catching such a rare Pokémon?

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Glitch with Gumbler and Youngster

Step 1. Restart your saved game if you've gone too far

Using this glitch will require you to fight Gumbler and Youngster.

Step 2. Go through the underpass from Lavender town to Celadon City, face Gambler and immediately press the Start button

Instead of pausing the game, you will thus enter the Game Menu.

Step 3. Fly to Cerulean City

Gumbler will notice you after choosing the Fly menu item and you will hear the music of the battle, but in any case, you will already be far along the way to Cerulean City. The Start button will become inactive, but shortly thereafter, it will work again.

Step 4. Find Youngster in the bushes just behind the Nugget Bridge

This is the second Youngster you will come face to face. The same was above "Lass". Now it is very easy to defeat him, since of the Pokémon he only has Slowpoke.

Step 5. Defeat the trainer and immediately fly back to Lavender town

Your Start button should now work again.

Step 6. Go to the left exit of the city

The pause menu will automatically pop up.

Step 7. Unpause the game to start the battle

Be careful, because Mew can only be level 7!

Step 8. Catch Mew with the Master Ball or weaken it with your attacks

Or, if the Pokémon is weak enough, try catching it with the Poké Ball.

Method 2 of 4: Glitch with Trainer and Youngster

Step 1. Restart your saved game if you've gone too far

Using this glitch will require you to fight the trainer hiding in the grass and Youngster (both in Cerulean).

Step 2. Catch Abra (unless you have another Pokémon that knows the Teleport skill)

In the game Pokémon Blue / Red, you can find him on Route 24 and 25, as well as on Route 5 (you need Pokémon to put him to sleep).

Step 3. Go north of Cerulean and stand in the same spot you see in the picture or video

Step 4. Save the game

Step 5. Go ahead and immediately press the Start button

Step 6. Select Pokémon Abra and his Teleport skill

The trainer will see you, but either way, you will already be at the Cerulean Pokémon Center.

Step 7. Approach Youngster (who will lead you to Bill); this is the third Youngster

Avoid any fights up to this point, and stop at some distance from him (to allow him to move).

Step 8. Win the battle with the trainer (who only has Slowpoke available) and use Teleport again

You will be transported back to the Pokémon Center.

Step 9. Go north again

At some point, a menu will pop up. Get out of it and the battle with Mew will begin!

Method 3 of 4: Using Glitch to Catch Any Pokémon

Step 1. Improve your fishing skill

Now that you know how tricks work, use them to catch other Pokémon. Fighting Youngster will always lead to a meeting with Mew, because his Slowpoke has a Special skill of 21 (15 Hex). But if you fight someone else before returning to Route 8, the Slowpoke Pokémon will change to another. For example, some say that you will regret choosing not Bulbasaur as your starting Pokémon. The Bulbasaur Hex number is 99, which corresponds to 153 in Dec. You can now fight the wild Pokémon Chansey, which has a Special skill of 153, but you can only find him at Level 64 in the Unknown Dungeon, and this happens quite rarely. Worst of all, the chance of finding a Pokémon with the correct Special is one in sixteen. Fortunately, there is a solution: the Transform skill of Pokémon Ditto, which copies the statistics of the enemy, will help you with this. This means that you can catch any Pokémon in the game by following the instructions in this section.

Step 2. Catch or upgrade Pokémon with the appropriate Special skill (For Bulbasaur it is 153)

You can find a complete list of values required for each Pokémon at the bottom of the page.

Step 3. Fly away avoiding the battle with Gumbler

Step 4. Engage in battle with any trainer who can see you from afar and come up to you (this is necessary to unlock the Start button and get into the battle on Route 8)

Step 5. Find a wild Ditto and let him Transform your Pokémon with the appropriate Special

Step 6. Defeat Ditto (or simply run away) and immediately fly to Lavender, without engaging in a duel along the way

Step 7. Move to Route 8, where Bulbasaur (or someone else) will appear

Step 8. Please note that since only the lesser of the two Special skills is taken into account, you can increase it to a value above 256 and use it to get the same Pokémon

This is important because there are several Pokémon, like Kangaskhan, whose ID values are lower than the minimum Special of any of your Pokémon. In the case of Kangaskhan, you can find her with a Special skill of 258 (2 + 256).

Also note that during this trick, any trainers you fight after Gambler will be marked as "used". Make sure you have enough unused trainers so you can catch all the Pokémon you want! Fortunately, Gumbler can be used to activate this trick an unlimited number of times

Method 4 of 4: Glitch with Gumbler and Biker

Step 1. Restart your saved game if you've gone too far

Using this glitch will require you to fight Gumbler and Biker.

2 Go through the underground passage from Lavender to Celadon, face Gambler and immediately press the Start button

Step 3. Fly to Fuchsia city (after that the Start button will be temporarily disabled)

Step 4. Take Bicycle Road and then head up

Step 5. When the bike slows down, continue upward

Turn right as soon as you see water in front of you.

Step 6. After that, walk until you come across grass

The Biker you need will be facing the grass.

Step 7. Approach the Biker

Defeat him.

Step 8. After fighting him, your Start button will work again

Fly into Lavender Town, and then head left to Route 8. The Start button menu will automatically pop up. Get out of it.

Step 9. After that, your Mew will appear

Catch Mew with the Master Ball, or weaken him and then catch him in the Pokeball.

Advice

• You can save during the game. The glitch will not be affected.
• You don't need to use the same trainer to fly if you've already fought Gumbler. Just find someone who sees you from the end of the screen, and with his help you will fly in the same way. You can use the character located directly near the right exit from Saffron City. His gaze is directed to the underground entrance.
• You can do this over and over with other trainers, with varying results. It all depends on the statistics of the last Pokémon used by the trainer in battle. Like Mew, the Pokémon you find will also be level 7.
• You can use both Teleport and Fly skills.
• Whenever you get confused about what you are doing, you can simply reboot the Game Boy!
• The trick is to fly away in time from the trainer who "saw" you (wants to fight) from the edge of the screen. This means that he will 'see' you the very moment you see him too. Glitch occurs due to a delay in the trainer's reaction. The moment he realizes that he was seen by you, you have the opportunity to press the Start button and select the desired action in the Menu. In this way, you can fly somewhere using glitch.
• Pound is Mew's only attack.
• There is no Mew under the truck near S. S. Anne. You cannot move / cut / or perform any other action with the truck, as this is not provided. This is not the same as cutting down a tree. The truck is just there.
• Remember that other trainers like Super Nerd can also be used to glitch with Mew. The only difference between Glitch and other trainers is that you must turn off every trail the trainer is on.
• Mew is a Level 7 Pokémon. Make sure you have a weak Pokémonon that can keep Mew's energy level below the critical level to prevent it from fainting. The ability to paralyze or put you to sleep can help you with this. Even at such a low level, it will be very difficult for you to catch Mew.

Warnings

• If you are not too experienced, this can take a very long time.
• In very rare cases, glitch can delete your saved file (unless you transfer the saved files to another game). Use glitch at your own risk.
• The first method is actually (which works very well) is the glitch of the game, and so sometimes your Mew might just disappear. If this happens, just forget about it.
• Even if you saved the game while glitching, and did not observe the correct execution of it (for example, you competed with some random character), you can always fix it by erasing the file or reinstalling the cartridge.
• If you only have Poké Balls available, be prepared to fight multiple times to capture Mew. Try to catch Caterpie and upgrade him to Butterfree to cloud Mew's mind. This will make it easier to catch.
