Hey ya'll Mew is available today as a serial code from Gamestop.

I went there on my lunch and the dude behind the counter said he had about 20 left. I live in New York, though, so my experience is skewed toward scarcity.

Card looks dope though.

Wait there is a limited amount?

Also do you need to bring your game and 3DS to the store to get this poo poo? I've never bothered with these kinds of things before but gently caress it I've wanted a Mew for 18 years of my life.

Timid is the most common one if you can get 31 IV on speed.

Thing with Mew, though, is that he's literally the jack of all trades master of none of the poke world. He has great stats, access to every move, but doesn't excel at anything in particular. That can be a good thing, too, because you can pull just about any crazy strategy with him if you know what you are doing and turn his inherit unpredictableness into a strength.

They are cards with codes on them, so yes they are limited.

You can leave your 3ds at home.

I don't really like offensive Mew. Mono psychic is bad typing and 100/100 offenses are underwhelming even with Swords Dance and Nasty Plot. Support sets are where Mew really stands out.

I think a cool thing to do with a Mew would be a doubles Transform set. How would you like a copy of your mega, only with much more HP and an item slot?

It also gets Baton Pass and a ton of good stat-boosting moves.

So ended up having to go to two stores to get this dumb card. First one was already out and the second only had 3 left when I got there. This is in suburban CT, but yeesh glad I checked the thread today.

Can you soft reset for natures/ivs with this card and if so how/when do you reset?

Does anyone know if they're available in Canada? If not I might have to bribe one of you, all I've got for trade is a semi-legit Darkrai and a 5IV amaura I could breed. My roommate has a shitload of perfect Eevees if that jangles your chain as well

Weird. I'm near Hartford and the Gamestop I went to seemed to have plenty! I even got two: one for me and one for my husband.

Just got mine, looks like they had a lot at the mall in San Diego I went to.

Anyone having trouble getting the mew though? Server keeps saying it's under maintenance. I'm guessing it's just getting hammered but figured I'd check.

If not already they will be. The press release said Gamestop in US, Game ( I believe? ) in the UK, and EB? in Canada? I can't recall off the top of my head, but it's definitely going to be going on in Canada.

Go with Reflect Type. Reflect Type defensive Starmie has had moderate success, and Mew has better defensive stats as well as a wider moveset.

Last time I was in an EB games I overheard some of the clerks gushing over some Pokemon-related stuff they were going to get in February so I'm positive that Canada will be getting them as well.

reverend gave me a sick lure set that was like Gunk Shot, Psychic, Fire Blast, and Ice Beam to deal with poo poo that messes up Pangoro so i could use a pangoro in OU, and for that I will always appreciate mew.

I'm going to be in NYC on Feb 27th most likely - hoping that they're going to do some event or whatever but without an announcement, who knows? I was there for the ORAS release and was able to snag both promo figurines. I'm hoping there's at least some kind of 20th anniversary thing going on.

Holy poo poo I had no idea Mew was card only until visiting this thread. Good thing I work in a hickish remote area, so limited run stuff like this is usually not sold out quickly.

The gamestop employee gave me two cards when asked. You could say that I have Mew...two. :rimshot:

Edit: code 1 was Calm and nearly perfect IVs the first try without having to save scum, all perfect except for...special attack.:saddowns: Oh well, perfect for a standard Smogon taunt set.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.

It's not as bad as Lance's Level 40 Dragonite in HG/SS (although you can possibly infer that it got hit with the Rocket evolution signal, because plot).

Those are adorable :3: Love the watercolor, it reminds me of how the original 151 were colored (which IMO looks way nicer than the Pokemon's modern digital solid coloring).

If this thread is the place for Pokemon fanart, I should post some of my own drawings sometime.

Thanks! I just added a Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise set too. :)

As far as I know, fan art has always been fairly welcome in this thread.
