“	Mew is said to possess the genetic composition of all Pokémon. It is capable of making itself invisible at will, so it entirely avoids notice even if it approaches people.	„
	~ Mew's Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Pokédex Entry.

Mew is one of the three overarching protagonists (alongside Arceus and Professor Oak) of the Pokémon franchise, serving as the overarching protagonist of Pokémon: The First Movie and its 2019 CGI remake Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution, and the tritagonist in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

It is a Psychic-type and the genetic ancestor of all Pokemon. As such, it is able to learn almost every kind of move.

How Powerful is Mew?

It is said that Mew's DNA possesses the genetic composition of every existing Pokémon species, thus allowing it to use all known Pokémon moves (and Pokémon's Exclusive Z-Moves, excluding Ultra Necrozma's Z-Move). Its possession of every Pokémon's DNA also allows it to de-evolve Pokémon, as shown in the TCG through its moves Devolution Beam and Devo Crush.

Although it can learn all moves, Mew can't learn powerful and rare moves such as Blast Burn, Judgment, Secret Sword and Freeze Shock, mainly because some moves are to be learned by a specific Pokémon, and Mew cannot learn them under a specific condition.

Anime

Pokémon: The 1st Movie

Mew made a cameo appearance at the start of the movie, and did not take a major role until later. A Mewtwo was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around New Island while Mewtwo was testing his starter Pokémon clones. Mew followed Team Rocket into the main part of the island.

When Mewtwo's other new clones were born, Mew came with them, but disappeared momentarily. When Mew reappeared shortly later, it tried to reason with Mewtwo, which led to a battle between the two. Ash stopped their battle by throwing himself in the middle of their attacks, which turned him to stone. After Ash was revived by Pokémon tears, Mewtwo flew away with its clones and Mew went with them. At the end of the movie, Ash briefly saw Mew in the sky, though Brock and Misty didn't see anything. After the credits are over, a brief scene plays showing Mew flying towards the mountains.

Mew makes a brief appearance in the hour-length special Mewtwo Returns. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring, although, like in the first movie, it may have just been his flashback.
