Overview
########
With access to every single TM and tutor move in the game, Mew is a top contender for the title of the "most versatile" Pokemon. The Defog buff gave it the niche of being one of the few users of the move that isn't weak to Stealth Rock. It Mew is also the only Defogger with access to Will-O-Wisp, which allows it to negate the Attack boost to Defiant users provided by Defog.

However, none of Mew's stats are very good by OU standards. Its offensive stats are only decent without a boost while its speed leaves it outsped by many threats. Its bad defensive typing leaves it weak to common attacking types, such as Bug, Dark and Ghost.


Stallbreaker
########
name: Stallbreaker
move 1: Taunt
move 2: Soft-Boiled
move 3: Will-O-Wisp
move 4: Knock Off / Night Shade
ability: Synchronize
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 136 SpD / 120 Spe
ivs: 0 Atk <- this is assumed
nature: Calm

Moves
========
This set makes Mew one of the stallbreakers in the game. The main focus of this set is Taunt. Taunt in addition to combined with Will-O-Wisp,(RC) allows Mew to dismantle many stall cores like Skarm-Bliss. Soft-Boiled provides Mew with reliable recovery. Knock Off is another great stallbreaking tool and rids opposing walls of their precious Leftovers or Eviolite. Night Shade is another good option and allows Mew to deal consistent damage to any Pokemon that isn't Normal-type. Ice Beam can be used if your team has problems with Landorus, as Mew can take a hit and OHKO 87.5% of the time.

Set Details
========
The Speed EVs allow Mew to outspeed Jolly Mega Tyranitar and everything slower. The rest is of the EVs are invested in HP and Special Defense to make it as specially bulky as possible. A Calm nature further boosts Mew's Special Defense. A specially defensive spread is used as most of the stall Pokemon these days Pokemon on stall teams use special attacks, which allows Mew allowing it to wall them even better. Leftovers provides passive recovery. 0 Attack IVs minimize confusion and Foul Play damage.

Usage Tips
========
This set single-handedly dismantles many stall cores, such as the infamous Skarm-Bliss (add hyphen). Use it if your team needs a utility Pokemon that can also threaten stall. Don't use it as a wall as its bulk is nothing to write home about, even after investment. Always try to keep Mew as healthy as possible, as it may have to frequently switch in and out often. Never try to keep Mew on a Pokemon who might potentially carry a status move it, unless you have a cleric in your team. Be wary of using Will-O-Wisp if your opponent has a Fire-type as it may give them a free switch-in (add hyphen). If your opponent sends in a cleric, Taunt it as soon as possible. If you are using Knock Off, spam it as often as you can. Against offensive teams, Mew can spread burns easily and can give one of your sweepers easy setup (no space) opportunities.

Team Options
========
Mew can wear down common stall Pokemon so that your sweepers can break past them. It can spread burns quite well, thus ruining crippling many physical attackers. A burnt burned Pokemon also makes for good setup (remove space) bait fodder for your own set up sweepers. Mew hates status,(AC) so,(RC) a cleric or a that is immune to status status absorber makes for a very good teammate. Sylveon and Clefable are good options for a cleric as they have good synergy with Mew and can also counter check Conkelldurr Conkeldurr, who loves to switch into Will-O-Wisp to activate its Guts ability. RestTalk Gyarados is a good status absorber and also checks both formes of Mega Charizard, which can switch into Mew quite easily. Mew also appreciates teammates that can take on common Pursuit users,(RC) such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Aegislash. Hippowdon and Mega Scizor come to mind are good examples of teammates that can easily beat the aforementioned Pursuit trappers. Something that can switch into Heatran, such as Rotom-W and Conkeldurr, is also appreciated.


Hazard Control
########
name: Hazard Control
move 1: Defog
move 2: Softboiled Soft-Boiled
move 3: Will-O-Wisp
move 4: Taunt / Stealth Rock
ability: Synchronize
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 136 SpD / 120 Spe
ivs: 0 Atk <- assumed
nature: Calm

Moves
========
Defog is the main move on this set, removing entry hazards on both sides of the field. Softboiled Soft-Boiled provides recovery, thus allowing Mew to clear entry hazards consistently throughout the game. Will-O-Wisp can burn the opposing Pokemon, slowly sapping wearing them down their HP and rendering Physical attackers extremely crippled and crippling most physical attackers. It also has very good synergy with Defog (this makes no sense). It Will-O-Wisp nullifies the Attack boost that Defiant users like Bisharp may get from switching into Defog. Taunt prevents Mew from becoming a set up complete setup bait. It is also very useful against opposing support Pokemon, as Mew is generally faster than most of them. Stealth Rock can be used if your team lacks another Stealth Rock user an entry hazard setter. Mew can use Stealth Rock after Defog, ensuring that Stealth Rock is on the opponent's side of the field, but not on your side.

Set Details
========
The Speed EVs allow Mew to outspeed max Speed Jolly Mega Tyranitar and burn it before it sets up can set up on Mew. The rest is invested in HP and Special Defense to make it as specially bulky as possible. A Calm nature further boosts Mew's Special Defense. A specially defensive spread is used, since most of the wallbreakers in OU are specially oriented. Moreover, most of the Pokemon on stall teams are specially oriented and this set acts as a very good stallbreaker. Leftovers is the item of choice and provides passive recovery. 0 Attack IVs minimize confusion and Foul Play damage.

Usage Tips
========
This set works best on bulky offense and balanced teams. Mew can switch in on many defensive Pokemon,(RC) such as Ferrothorn, Skarmory, Hippowdon, and Chansey, Taunt them and then use Defog. If the opponent has a Defiant user, it is generally better to not use Defog immediately; Will-O-Wisp is the better option in this case. Pretend that you are not running Defog (how and why?). Try to keep Mew at high health if the opposing opponent's entry hazard setters have not been KOed yet. Don't use Mew as a wall,(AC) just use it as an utility Pokemon who can Defog and can stallbreak for your team. Don't bring it in on strong unresisted STAB moves as its bulk is not spectacular and it will get worn out down fast.

Team Options
========
Pokemon which appreciate the removal of entry hazards from their side of field,(RC) such as Charizard, Talonflame, Dragonite, Pinsir, and Kyurem-B, are good teammates. Mew appreciates teammates who can deal with strong Pursuit users,(RC) such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Aegislash. Hippowdon comes to mind and Scizor can easily handle the aforementioned Pursuit trappers. Unaware Quagsire is a good teammate as it counters Defiant users. A Pokemon to take on Mega Charizard is needed as Mew can't do anything against either form. Heatran is a good option as is RestTalk Gyarados. Mew appreciates cleric support as Toxic poison and burn ruin its bulk and pressurize it into using Softboiled too often force it to frequently waste turns by using Soft-Boiled. If you can't pack a cleric, a status absorber can work too. Again,(AC) RestTalk Gyarados is again a good candidate.


Other Options
########

Due to its huge movepool, Mew has no lack of options. It can use both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot to great effect; however, it is put down due to let down by its mediocre speed. It Mew can also use a Choice set but Mew's its main selling point is its versatility. Mew is one of the only Pokemon that can use Transform somewhat reliably due to its above average bulk. A lead set with Taunt, Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, and Explosion can also work quite well, but it is somewhat outclassed in this role by the Deoxys formes. It Mew can also run a Baton Pass set with either Nasty Plot or Swords Dance and Rock Polish, which may be devastating to unprepared teams. Baton Pass can be used on any set to bypass Pursuit, provided that you it is are faster.


Checks & Counters
########

**Heatran**: Heatran sponges anything that the support sets can throw at it, although if Mew is running an offensive set, it can win in a one on one situation.

**Prankster and faster Taunters**: Prankster Taunt users such as Sableye and Thundurus and faster Taunters like Deoxys-D can shut down the support sets easiely easily.

**Pursuit trappers**: Strong Pursuit users can put Mew in a checkmate situation, but they must be wary of Will-O-Wisp.

**Mega Charizard-X**: Mega Charizard-X can set up on it and proceed to sweep Mew's team.

**Mega Charizard-Y**: Mega Charizard-Y switches into itMew easily and can fire off sun-boosted Fire Blasts on its team.

I'd advise you to merge the two Charizard sections.

**Status**: Burn and Toxic poison ruin Mew's bulk chipping off by whittling down its HP and slowly wearing it out.

**Bisharp**: It Bisharp can switch into Defog, get a Defiant boost and sweep Mew's team, although it should be wary of Will-O-Wisp.

**Special attackers**: Strong special attackers, such as Mega Charizard-Y and Choice Specs Keldeo can easily 2HKO Mew and don't fear Will-O-Wisp.

and once again i feel the need to call out QC. Calm, on a pokemon using Knock Off, with no special attacks? It's weak to Foul Play, yes, but Mandibuzz just gets burned and Sableye just flat-out wins, while confusion is basically nonexistent these days. Meanwhile, Mew really appreciates the power on Gengar and Aegislash, as well as to a lesser extent lati@s and DeoxysDS.

Edit:Well apparently that change was made by someone else. QC would never use Calm! Instead they allowed timid and 0 atk Ivs?

plz plz plz read the comments, i beg it of you

Comments:

stallbreaker mew has WoW, which means no stallmon can break it physically. it seems like you just read mcmeghan's convo and missed a crucial line '[18:31:2] <McMeghan> and WoW helps anyway'. A much better reason for it to be SpD.

the addition of the word single in the overview doesn't make it any more correct or better, since 'every' and 'every single' tm mean the exact same thing;feel free to change that back if you want. Also, removing the word provided in the overview made a totally incorrect sentence.

>not 2hitkoed by LO latias;bulk is 'nothing to write home about'. 100/100 is fucking good.

Mew has taunt, so it can stay in on 'status moves'. Plus it has synchronize. do you mean lava plume/scald/discharge? because that's not what most people think of when they say 'status moves'. And as for faster status users, those are pretty damn rare, considering.

Mew also appreciate support by Pokemon who can take on two pokemon who get burned by mew and then smashed, as well as one somewhat pursuit user who isn't even that strong with it.

Taunt also lets you beat hazard users who would just spam hazards forever.

Oh man, what if Mega Tyranitar went first and Dragon Danced? WoW would be useless then! ...oh, wait.

(BAN ME PLEASE) Boy gets knocked off and loses its fucking lefties i.e. its fucking regeneration.

Pursuit users get WoWd blah blah fucking blah except aegis but it doesn't have pursuit that often blah blah fucking blah.

You've used Megazard Y twice in the checks and counters, mention a different strong special attacker plz.

I forgot to change the nature.
Its bulk is really not that good as it does not have full investment. Loses to wallbreakers etc.

The Speed EVs allow Mew to outspeed Jolly Mega Tyranitar and everything slower. The rest of the EVs are invested in HP and Special Defense to make it Mew as specially bulky as possible. The nature further boosts Mew's Special Defense. Careful is preferred if using Knock Off, but otherwise Calm is better to minimize Foul Play damage.

Mew can wear down common stall Pokemon so that your sweepers can break past them. It can spread burns quite well, thus crippling many physical attackers. A burned Pokemon also makes for good setup fodder for your own sweepers. Mew hates status, so a cleric or a status absorber makes for a very good teammate. Sylveon and Clefable are good options for a cleric, as they have good synergy with Mew and can also check Conkelldurr, who which loves to switch into Will-O-Wisp to activate its Guts ability. RestTalk Gyarados is a good status absorber and also checks both formes of Mega Charizard, which can switch into Mew quite easily. Mew also appreciates teammates that can take on common Pursuit users such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Aegislash. Hippowdon and Mega Scizor are good examples of teammates that can easily beat the aforementioned Pursuit trappers.

However, none of Mew's stats are very good by OU standards; its offensive stats are only decent without a boost' (remove whatever) while and its Speed leaves it outsped by many threats. Its bad defensive typing leaves it weak to common attacking types, such as Bug, Dark, (AC) and Ghost.


Stallbreaker
########
name: Stallbreaker
move 1: Taunt
move 2: Soft-Boiled
move 3: Will-O-Wisp
move 4: Knock Off / Night Shade
ability: Synchronize
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 136 SpD / 120
nature: Careful / Calm

Moves
========
This set makes Mew one of the best stallbreakers in the game. Taunt and Will-O-Wisp allow Mew to dismantle many stall cores like SkarmBliss. Soft-Boiled provides Mew with reliable recovery. Knock Off is another great stallbreaking tool and rids opposing walls of their precious Leftovers or Eviolite. Night Shade is another good option and allows Mew to deal consistent damage to any Pokemon that isn't Normal-type. Ice Beam can be used if your team has problems with Landorus, as Mew can take a hit and OHKO 87.5% of the time.

Set Details
========
The Speed EVs allow Mew to outspeed Jolly Mega Tyranitar and everything slower. The rest of the EVs are invested in HP and Special Defense to make it Mew as specially bulky as possible. The nature further boosts Mew's Special Defense. Careful is preferred if using Knock Off, but otherwise Calm is better to minimize Foul Play damage. A specially defensive spread is used as most Pokemon on stall teams these days use special attacks, which allows Mew to wall them even better. Leftovers provides passive recovery.

Usage Tips
========
This set single-handedly dismantles many stall cores, such as the infamous SkarmBliss. Use it if your team needs a utility Pokemon that can also threaten stall. Don't use it as a wall, as its bulk is nothing to write home about, even after investment. Always try to keep Mew as healthy as possible, as it may have to frequently switch in and out. Never try to keep Mew on a Pokemon who that might potentially carry a status move, (RC) unless you have a cleric in your team. Be wary of using Will-O-Wisp if your opponent has a Fire-type, as it may give them a free switch-in. If your opponent sends in a cleric, Taunt it as soon as possible. If you are using Knock Off, spam it as often as you can. Against offensive teams, Mew can spread burns easily and can give one of your sweepers easy setup opportunities.

Team Options
========
Mew can wear down common stall Pokemon so that your sweepers can break past them. It can spread burns quite well, thus crippling many physical attackers. A burned Pokemon also makes for good setup fodder for your own sweepers. Mew hates status, so a cleric or a status absorber makes for a very good teammate. Sylveon and Clefable are good options for a cleric, as they have good synergy with Mew and can also check Conkelldurr, who which loves to switch into Will-O-Wisp to activate its Guts ability. RestTalk Gyarados is a good status absorber and also checks both formes of Mega Charizard, which can switch into Mew quite easily. Mew also appreciates teammates that can take on common Pursuit users such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Aegislash. Hippowdon and Mega Scizor are good examples of teammates that can easily beat the aforementioned Pursuit trappers. Something that can switch into Heatran, such as Rotom-W and Conkeldurr, is also appreciated.


Entry Hazard Control
########
name: Entry Hazard Control
move 1: Defog
move 2: Soft-Boiled
move 3: Will-O-Wisp
move 4: Taunt / Stealth Rock
ability: Synchronize
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 136 SpD / 120 Spe
nature: Calm

Moves
========
Defog is the main move on this set, removing entry hazards on both sides of the field. Soft-Boiled provides recovery, allowing Mew to clear entry hazards throughout the game. Will-O-Wisp can burn the opposing Pokemon, slowly wearing them out and and crippling most physical attackers. Will-O-Wisp nullifies the Attack boost that Defiant users like Bisharp may might get from switching into Defog. Taunt prevents Mew from becoming complete setup bait. It is also very useful against opposing support Pokemon, as Mew is generally faster than most of them. Stealth Rock can be used if your team lacks an entry hazard setter. Mew can use Stealth Rock after Defog, ensuring that Stealth Rock is only up on the opponent's side of the field.

Set Details
========
The Speed EVs allow Mew to outspeed max Speed Jolly Mega Tyranitar and burn it before it can set up Dragon Dance or use Crunch on Mew. The rest is invested in HP and Special Defense to make it Mew as specially bulky as possible. A Calm nature further boosts Mew's Special Defense. A specially defensive spread is used, since as most of the wallbreakers in OU are specially oriented. Moreover, most of the Pokemon on stall teams are specially oriented, and this set acts as a very good stallbreaker. Leftovers is the item of choice and provides passive recovery. 0 Attack IVs minimize confusion and Foul Play damage.

Usage Tips
========
This set works best on bulky offense and balanced teams. Mew can switch in on many defensive Pokemon, such as Ferrothorn, Skarmory, Hippowdon, and Chansey, Taunt them, and then use Defog. If the opponent has a Defiant user, it is generally better to not use Defog immediately. Will-O-Wisp is the better option in this case. Try to keep Mew at high health if the opponent's entry hazard setters have not been KOed yet. Don't use Mew as a wall; (SC) just use it as an utility Pokemon who that can use Defog and stallbreak for your team. Don't bring it in on strong unresisted STAB moves, (AC) as its bulk is not spectacular and it will get worn down fast.

Team Options
========
Pokemon which appreciate the removal of entry hazards from their side of field, (AC) such as Charizard, Talonflame, Dragonite, Pinsir, and Kyurem-B, are good teammates. Mew appreciates teammates who that can deal with strong Pursuit users such as Tyranitar, Bisharp, and Aegislash. Hippowdon and Scizor can easily handle the aforementioned Pursuit trappers. Unaware Quagsire is a good teammate as it counters Defiant users. A Pokemon to take on Mega Charizard is needed as Mew can't do anything against either forme. Heatran is a good option as is RestTalk Gyarados. Mew appreciates cleric support as poison and burn ruin its bulk and force it to frequently waste turns by using Soft-Boiled. If you can't pack a cleric, a status absorber can work too. Again, RestTalk Gyarados is a good candidate.


Other Options
########

Due to its huge movepool, Mew has no lack of options. It can use both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot to good effect; however, it is let down by its mediocre Speed. Mew can also use a Choice set, but its main selling point is its versatility. Mew is one of the only Pokemon that can use Transform somewhat reliably, (RC) due to its above-average bulk. A lead set with Taunt, Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, and Explosion can also work quite well, but it is somewhat outclassed in this role by the Deoxys formes. Mew can also run a Baton Pass set with either Nasty Plot or Swords Dance and Rock Polish, which may can be devastating to unprepared teams. Baton Pass can be used on any set to bypass Pursuit, provided that it Mew is faster.


Checks & Counters
########

**Heatran**: Heatran sponges anything that the support sets can throw at it, although if Mew is running an offensive set, it can win in an one-on-one situation.

**Prankster and Faster Taunt Users**: Prankster Taunt users such as Sableye and Thundurus and faster Taunt users like Deoxys-D can shut down the support sets easily.

**Pursuit Trappers**: Strong Pursuit users can put Mew in a checkmate situation, but they must be wary of Will-O-Wisp.

**Charizard**: Mega Charizard X can Dragon Dance on Mew and proceed to sweep its team while Mega Charizard Y switches into Mew easily and can fire off sun-boosted Fire Blasts.

**Status**: Burn and poison ruin Mew's bulk by whittling down its HP and slowly wearing it out.

**Bisharp**: Bisharp can switch into Defog, get a Defiant boost, (AC) and sweep Mew's team, although it should be wary of Will-O-Wisp.

**Strong Special Attackers**: Strong special attackers, such as Mega Charizard Y and Choice Specs Keldeo, (AC) can easily 2HKO Mew and don't fear Will-O-Wisp.
