Pokémon Unite Mew move / ability set
Unlike other characters, Mew has the ability to choose from multiple moves and restore them! Mews’s play style does not revolve around a specific play style, but rather has the ability to choose from a variety of play styles, so that Mew can have a versatile play style, which can be chosen precisely for the right situation!
Passive: synchronize
Whenever the Pokémon uses a move, it and nearby allied Pokémon increase their Movement Speed for a short time.
Passive Bonus: Reset!
When the Pokémon reaches Lv. 5 the Move the Reset icon can be used to reset Pokémon moves and learn new ones. This icon goes into cooldown after it has been used.

The best items for Mew in Pokémon Unite
Later in this guide, we will discuss the best kept items for Mew in Pokémon Unite, as well as its best battle item.
Better kept items
Since Mew is such a versatile Pokémon, the items held by Mews can vary greatly. For example, if a player wants to use a more support-oriented build, he can choose to use more defensive items like Focus Band instead. This guide is an ideal list of items for playing Mew as an offensive striker. For example, using Electro Ball and Agility.
| Element | Because it is useful |
|---|---|
| Specifications of your choice | Choice Specs is an item that increases a Pokémon’s movement damage, as well as its Special Attack, by a fixed amount. Mew uses abilities and attacks frequently, so Choice Specs has great synergy with this Pokémon. |
| Barrier Buddha | Buddy Barrier is an extremely versatile item that is used on Mew to increase Mew’s base health and give a teammate a shield. Since Mew is an attacker with some supportive skills, Buddy Barrier fits that style of play very well, as Mew will be around to give them a shield against Buddy Barrier. |
| Shell bell | Mew’s abilities are really powerful and scalable with a special attack. Using Shell Bell, increase Mew’s special attack damage, reduce Mew’s reload speed, and heal Mew periodically, after damaging with an ability, which overall has a great deal of benefit on Mew. |

- Potion: The potion is a 30 second cooldown item that heals the user for 12.5% of their maximum health. Mew needs to be healthy to keep fighting. By using a potion, he ensures that Mew’s health can remain consistently high.
Pokémon Unite Mew Guide: game tips
Our Pokémon Unite Mew guide includes the perfect game plan for the beginning and end of the game during Join the battles.
Early play
At the start of the game, Mew is stronger than most Pokémon because it has a huge choice of basic abilities and has fully evolved since the beginning of the game. For this reason, Mew should make sure to play aggressively to rack up a few kills and win lane, leaving them snowballing towards the end of the game. In the lane, Mew is one of the characters, if not the strongest, to fight in one-on-one duels, players make sure to put them to good use and put pressure on the enemy team as much as possible! Choosing Mew’s starting game ability can be a difficult decision because, unlike other Pokémon, Mew can choose between three different abilities. Here are some things to consider when choosing the best skill early in the game.
- If Mew needs to be able to kill enemies from a long distance and there is a character with great defenses to support Mew (like Snorlax), then Solar Beam might be the best option.
- If Mew is to be able to use some form of crowd control to push the opposing team away / towards Mew’s team, then surfing might be the best option. This skill works well with a melee character with high lane damage (EG Tsareena), as Surf forces the opponent to enter the character in melee and closes the gap between them
- If Mew needs a combination of both damage and crowd control effects, then the Electro Ball might be the best move. This move has great versatility and will work with any partner in the lane, as it is an offensive and supportive move.
At the start of the game, Mew’s lane partner is usually a defender. Players should make sure to tell their teammate what plays to make. At level five, Mew gains the ability and power to reset a move, players should feel free to use it, if a skill needs to be changed to counter an opponent or if there is a character on Mew’s team, it has a good synergy with a specific move choice.
Late game
By the end of the game, Mew should have a level advantage due to aggressive play early in the game. Players should try to use this brought level to move the rest of the team forward. As with all the other characters, protecting Rayquaza with the team is a necessity. Once Rayquaza spawns, Mew should try to position themselves according to their choice of abilities. If Mew chose Solar Beam, players should then try to spot enemies from a distance with a large amount of damage, if Mew chose the trainer, players can then make sure they stay around allies to support them. If Mew chose Surf, players should then try to sneak up behind the enemy team and get them into the allied team etc. Ultimately, the positioning of Mew and his goal at the end of the game depends on the move choices, so the positioning should be intuitive.
Positioning of Mew
Since Mew is an attacker, Mew is mostly played in the bottom lane with a support Pokémon. However, Mew is the most versatile Pokémon in the game and can be played anywhere, depending on the moveset chosen by Mew. Since Mew mainly has long range abilities, players should make sure they position themselves behind allies with higher health, because Mew must be able to deal a lot of damage, while receiving little in return. Mew is a fairly team-fighting oriented character, so players should make sure to stick around with allies whenever possible.
Mew with other Pokémon
Better synergies with Mew
Our Pokémon Unite Mew guide also focuses on the relationship between Mew and other Pokémon.
| Pokémon | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Bliss | Blissey is one of the strongest characters to pair with Mew. This is because Blisseys ‘abilities provide instant heal or crowd control immunity to get out of impossible-to-win fights, movement speed to easily outflank enemies, and crowd control to interrupt opponents’ plays and give Mew a greater chance to hit. land abilities. All of these buffs that Blissey provides, plus the fact that Blissey is a great all-around character, make Mew a great choice alongside this character. |
| Trevenant | Trevenant offers a great deal of crowd control and slowdown effects that synergize with Mew’s skill-based kit. Trevenant also has a large number of defenses and heals that allow Trevenant to defend Mew for a long time. |
| Wigglytuff | Wigglytuff goes well with Mew thanks to their high defenses and great crowd control abilities. Wigglytuff Starlight Recital’s Unite move goes particularly well with Mew as the large shield provided allows Mew to make aggressive plays and use enhanced abilities while losing very little health in return. Wigglytuff’s “Sing” ability puts enemies to sleep, ensuring that Mew’s hard-to-obtain abilities now hit opponents. |
| Snorlax | Snorlax offers a great deal of crowd control through the use of abilities like “Heavy Slam” and “Block”, both abilities can prevent opposing Pokémon from moving or moving them. This Pokémon’s abilities are useful, as they give Mew the ability to escape or deal damage through burst abilities. |
Strong and weak Pokémon against Mew
| Strong against | Weak against |
|---|---|
| Hoopa | Gardevoir |
| Charizard | Meow |
| Silveone | Ninetales of Alola |
| Greninja | Azumarill |
| Zareena | Mamoswine |
Pokémon Unite Mew Guide: Tips and Tricks
This guide will also discuss some tips and tricks for playing the game Meow in Pokémon Unite.
- Mew can easily hit enemies from afar thanks to its great mobility and range. For this reason, players need to be sure to try to take advantage of it and hit the enemy team for as much damage as possible.
- Mew’s current best build uses Solar Beam and Light Barrier. Light Barrier has the effect of amplifying Mew’s abilities traveling through it. This has great synergy with Solar Beam, because Mew is able to easily create Light Barriers, then hit the opposing team using an amplified Solar Beam. An ideal build to fit this move set would be using as many special attack items as possible, such as Choice Specs, Wise Glasses, and Shell Bell.
- Mew’s abilities can be changed in the middle of a fight. This leads to some complicated but powerful combos like using Surf and Agility to push opposing Pokémon into Mew’s team, then using skills like Electro Ball and Light Barrier to deal a large amount of damage and finish them off.
- Mew can use the eject button or X-speed for powerful combos. When playing Mew, practice using Eject Button / X-Speed to quickly get behind opponents, then surf through the opponent to allies, allowing them to defeat opposing Pokémon.
- Surf can be used in a similar way to Snorlax’s Block. These abilities can be used defensively to throw the opponent away and protect Mew or to throw opponents at Mew and force them to fight. These abilities can also be used to throw opponents out of their goal zone, reducing their shielding and regeneration while out of the goal zone.
- When fighting a Mew, the easiest way to overcome it is to bridge the gap between the Pokémon and Mew as quickly as possible. Mew has a really low base health amount and doesn’t have a large number of escape options to catch. This is why Pokémon like Zeraora and Greninja are great choices, as they can quickly bridge the gap between them and Mew.
- Save the Unite move for Rayquaza. This is an easily overlooked aspect of the game, which can change the whole game outcome, saving Unite Move for Rayquaza ensures they can secure the goal and win the game.
- Make sure you check the map before Rayquaza spawns. Players must make sure to look around in the bushes surrounding Rayquaza to make sure there are no devious enemies waiting to steal it.
