Restrictions

  • The game automatically saves when Mew gets transferred. This means that for trainers looking to get Mew for a competitive advantage you'll want to wait until you head over to the Medium in the Celadon City Pokémon Center to try and get the desired Nature.
  • Mew cannot be reset once the transfer has completed.
  • Mew is only available one per Poké Ball Plus, so multiple trainers playing on a single switch are out of luck!
