MegaFlareon

[OVERVIEW]

Mew proves itself as one of the tier's top setup sweepers thanks to its combination of good bulk and an expansive movepool that gives it multiple setup options and unpredictable coverage. Mew's advantageous matchup against many of the tier's defensive Pokemon such as Jirachi and Fezandipiti makes it a good option as a late-game cleaner or mid-game wallbreaker. Mew's unpredictability comes from its set variety, being able to run Nasty Plot, Calm Mind, and Dragon Dance sets, and it can leverage this versatility to swing the game to its advantage once it gets on the field. However, Mew suffers from having only above average Speed that allows it to be outsped and revenge killed by many offensive threats such as Gengar and Maushold, and a Psychic typing gives it a vulnerability to priority moves, which prevents it from cleaning up teams by itself.

Set Details
====

Nasty Plot Mew functions as a strong and reliable setup sweeper or wallbreaker that helps soften up the opposing team for another sweeper to clean up. Psyshock allows Mew to punish special walls and Assault Vest users such as Cyclizar while also allowing it to beat other Calm Mind users like Suicune and Slowbro after Terastallization. Earth Power gives it super effective coverage against the tier's top Steel- and Fire-types such as Jirachi, Hisuian Goodra, Empoleon, and Armarouge. Draining Kiss rounds out the set and gives Mew super effective coverage against Dark- and Dragon-types such as Krookodile and Salamence and also gives Mew some form of recovery to let it survive hits better and offset recoil damage from Life Orb. Life Orb gives Mew a further boost in power that can potentially allow Mew to turn 2HKOs to OHKOs such as an OHKO on Jirachi, an OHKO on Choice Specs Hisuian Goodra after Stealth Rock, and turning a 3HKO into a 2HKO on Suicune with Psyshock after a Nasty Plot boost. Mew's ability Synchronize has situational use, as it can discourage certain Pokemon from spamming status-inducing moves such as Jirachi's Body Slam and Umbreon's Toxic. Tera Fairy allows Mew to reverse its weakness to Bug and Dark while also giving Draining Kiss a STAB boost.

Mew fits well on all types of offensive teams thanks to its bulk and power after setting up. On hyper offensive teams, Mew can act as a soft check to slower offensive Pokémon such as Armarouge, as Mew can threaten those Pokemon out and use it as an opportunity to set up. Other setup sweepers such as Yanmega and Revavroom appreciate Mew wearing down threats such as Hisuian Goodra and Hippowdon that opens them up for a late-game sweep. Mew in particular has an advantageous matchup against the tier's bulky Water-types that its teammates may struggle with, as Psyshock and Earth Power help eliminate Calm Mind Suicune and Empoleon. Entry hazard setters such as Krookodile, Jirachi, and Kleavor also make for good teammates that help Mew wallbreak more efficiently by accruing chip damage on would-be checks like Empoleon and Hisuian Goodra. Physical wallbreakers such as Galarian Zapdos and Bisharp help Mew take down special walls such as Cresselia and Umbreon and overwhelm the opposition. Galarian Zapdos in particular has good synergy with Mew, as it resists priority moves like First Impression and Sucker Punch that heavily threaten Mew, while Mew can check the physical walls that Zapdos struggles against such as Hippowdon.

Thanks to having one of the largest movepool among all Pokemon, Mew has the ability to run other sets that a team may need to account for. It can function as a suicide lead for hyper offensive teams, as it can run Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Taunt all in one set. A Double Dance set with Iron Defense, Calm Mind, and Stored Power can also be run on more defensive teams as a wincon. A physical wallbreaker set with either Swords Dance or Dragon Dance and attacking moves such as Psychic Fangs, Earthquake, and Knock Off can be run, but it is not as efficient as the Nasty Plot set with Intimidate and Rocky Helmet being very common in the tier. Shadow Ball on the Nasty Plot set allows Mew to hit Psychic-type Calm Mind sweepers such as Slowbro and Cresselia super effectively.
====

Checks and Counters
====

**Priority Moves**: Priority moves are rather common in the tier, and Mew is weak to a lot of them, like Slither Wing's First Impression, Bisharp's Sucker Punch, and Mimikyu's Shadow Sneak.

**Faster Pokemon and Choice Scarf Users**: Mew has relatively good Speed, but the tier has a lot of faster Pokemon that threaten it with an OHKO such as Gengar, Hisuian Zoroark, and Choice Scarf Krookodile.

**Bulky Dark-types**: Specially defensive Dark-type Pokemon such as Umbreon and Wo-Chien can easily wall Mew, as they are immune to Mew's Psychic-type STAB move and take little damage from Draining Kiss unless Mew Terastallizes into a Fairy-type.

**Bulky Psychic-types**: Mew struggles to fit Dark- and Ghost-type coverage in its moveset, so Psychic-types such as Slowbro, Cresselia, and Reuniclus can handily beat Mew if it is not running a super effective coverage move. Most of these Psychic-type Pokemon can also boost their Special Defense via Calm Mind to give Mew difficulty in wallbreaking while still being able to resist Psyshock. Cresselia notably can give Mew difficulty thanks to its immunity to Earth Power.

[OVERVIEW]

Mew proves itself as one of the tier's top wallbreakers and setup sweeper Mew isn't really a wallbreaker with 100 base stats, it's mostly just a setup demon thanks to a its combination of its good bulk and an expansive movepool that gives it multiple setup options and unpredictable coverage. The aforementioned bulk is what makes Mew stand out as it has a much easier time setting up compared to other setup sweepers Like?. Mew's advantageous matchup against many of the tier's defensive Pokemon Like? makes it a good partner for many of the tier's lategame cleaners option as a late-game cleaner or mid-game breaker. However, Mew's only above average Speed that leaves it outsped by many offensive threats Like? and a Psychic typing that gives it vulnerability to priority prevents it from cleaning up teams by itself.
This overview could use some changes - notably, talking about Mew as a mid-game breaker and late-game setup sweeper. Mew typically runs low BP attacks like Draining Kiss and Earth Power for coverage to break through checks like Cyclizar and Jirachi, so it definitely wouldn't classify as mainly a wallbreaker with its mediocre base 100 Special Attack. You can also talk more about the set variety, going over the differences between CM vs NP vs DD stuff and how it leverages this versatility to swing games once it hits the field, etc. A main point to consider in writing these is to talk about metagame specific interactions, like what it actually matches up well into vs what it struggles against.

Nasty Plot Mew functions as a strong and reliable setup sweeper, or wallbreaker that helps soften up the opposing team for another sweeper to clean up. The choice of its STAB move is up to the user's preference as either has its notable benefits. Psyshock allows Mew to win punish special walls and Assault Vest users such as Cyclizar while also allowing it to beat other Cam Mind users like Suicune and Slowbro after Terastallization. Psychic Noise on the other hand allows Mew to prevent defensive Pokémon from healing back the damage dealt by Mew while also having the neat ability to hit through Pokémon under Substitute. Psychic Noise is definitely a good attack, but is better on CM variants and wasn't listed on the set provided, so omit references to it here. Same with the other / moves and items you added. Earth Power gives it super effective coverage against the tier's top Steel- and Fire-types such as Jirachi, Armarouge, Hisuan Goodra, and Empoleon, while Fire Blast is an alternative coverage move that allows Mew to hit Air Balloon Revravroom and OHKO Yanmega before they get out of control, while still hitting most Steel-types bar Empoleon and Hisuian Goodra. Draining Kiss rounds out the set that and gives Mew super-effective coverage against Dark- and Dragon-types such as Krookodile and Salamence and also gives Mew some form of recovery to let it survive hits better and offset recoil damage from Life Orb. Tera Fairy allows Mew to reverse its weaknesses to Bug and Dark while also giving Draining Kiss a STAB boost to make it stronger. Can include a blurb about stopping Dragon Tail Cyclizar from phazing you. Life Orb gives Mew a further boost in power that can potentially allow Mew to turn 2HKOs to OHKOs, while Colbur Berry allows Mew to tank a Knock Off or Sucker Punch and hit back with a coverage move. Sitrus Berry is another viable item that helps Mew take multiple priority moves such as Entei's Extreme Speed same as before, omit this and then include some notable rolls that LO helps, like +2 LO Mew being able to OHKO Jirachi, OHKO Choice Specs Hisuian Goodra after rocks, and 2HKO on Suicune. Mew's ability Synchronize has situational use as it can discourage certain Pokemon from spamming status-inducing moves such as Jirachi's Body Slam and Umbreon's Toxic. Change the order to match the set, as in items, ability, and then Tera.

Mew fits well on all types of offensive teams thanks to its bulk and power after setting up. In hyper offensive teams, Mew can act as a soft check to slower offensive Pokémon Like? as Mew it can threaten those Pokémon out and use it them as an opportunity to set up. Late-game cleaners such as Blastoise and Yanmega appreciate Mew wearing down the opposing team that opens them up for a lategame late-game sweep. Mew in particular has an advantageous matchup against the tier's bulky waters Water-types that Blastoise may struggle with, like Empoleon and Suicune, as its Psychic Noise denies them of recovery which would eventually wear them down, while Psyhock Psyshock helps eliminate Calm Mind variants of those bulky waters Suicune. Hazard Entry hazard setters such as Krookodile, Jirachi, and Kleavor also make good teammates that helps help Mew wallbreak more efficiently by accruing chip damage on would-be checks like Empoleon and Hisuian Goodra. Physical wallbreakers such as Galarian Zapdos and Bisharp help Mew take down special walls and overwhelm the opposition. Galarian Zapdos in particular is has good synergy with Mew as it resists First Impression and Sucker Punch that heavily threaten Mew, while Mew can check the multiple Psychic-types that threaten Galarian Zapdos Like?.

When talking about physical Mew, mention DD and coverage like Earthquake and Knock Off over Flare Blitz as they hit more of the metagame.

**Priority**: Priority moves are rather common in the tier and Mew is weak against a lot of those priority Moves. them, like Slither Wing's First Impression, Bisharp's Sucker Punch, and Mimikyu's Shadow Sneak all can easily force Mew out.

**Faster Pokemon and Choice Scarf users**: Mew has relatively good speed Speed, but the tier has a lot of faster Pokemon that threaten it with an OHKO such as Yanmega, Gengar, Hisuian Zoroark, and Maushold. Yanmega is only faster after a boost so it doesn't immediately threaten it, per se.

**Bulky Dark-types**: Specially Defensive defensive Dark-type Pokemon such as Umbreon and Wo-Chien can easily wall Mew as they are immune to Mew's Psychic STAB and are take rather little damage from Draining Kiss unless Mew Terastallizes to Fairy. Wo-Chien needs to watch out from Fire Blast though as a +2 Fire Blast OHKOes it after Stealth Rock.

**Bulky Psychic-types**: Mew struggles to fit Dark- and Ghost-type coverage in its moveset so Psychic-types such as Slowbro, Armarouge, Cresselia, and Reuniclus can handily beat Mew if Mew it is not running an super-effective the optimal coverage move. Mention their ability to CM vs Mew, notably Cresselia since it is immune to Earth Power.
