How to unlock Mew in PokeBonk
Mew joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Capture the other 78 League members.
Catching Mew
Then Mew can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 240 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Mew moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Psychic | Psychic | Special | Shockwave | Start | 30 | 2.44 s |
| 2 | Aura Sphere | Fighting | Special | Homing | Level 2 | 12 | 1.15 s |
| 3 | Ancient Power | Rock | Special | Orbit | Level 4 | 11 | 4.84 s |
| 4 | Moonblast | Fairy | Special | Explosive orb | Level 7 | 21 | 1.42 s |
Mew passive: Ancestral Gene
+10% damage, speed, area and HP. Can learn moves of any type.
Psychic matches Mew's type, so it deals 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Mew Ultimate in PokeBonk
Mew's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mew | Ancestral Gene | 3.6 s | A psychic bubble protects you (30% shield) and Mew copies the Ultimate of another random League member; with Maturity, two and then three in a row. |
Mew stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mew | 0 | 115 | 9 | 1.04x | 1.02x | 1.02x | 1x |
Mew base stats
Base stats from the game's Pokedex file (base stat total 600):
| HP | Attack | Defense | Sp. Atk | Sp. Def | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
Where Mew appears as a boss
Besides being playable, Mew is listed as a boss on the maps: Viridian Forest as the shrine legendary. Boss HP is budgeted from your own damage per second, so the fight length stays close to the game's targets; the PokeBonk maps page lists every boss slot.
