CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Mew exists on the boundary between observation and mystery. So few people have seen it that some experts still regard it as an uncertain apparition. Its ability to become invisible helps it remain elusive. Even when it approaches humans, it can escape their notice, leaving more questions than traces of its quiet, hard-to-confirm presence.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Mew's body is not hairless. Pokémon Yellow and, later, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! describe short, very fine hairs that can be seen under a microscope. Its smooth appearance to the naked eye therefore conceals a real texture in the account.

Printed card text — English

Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.

Description from the source

Because it can use all kinds of moves, many scientists believe MEW to be the ancestor of Pokémon.

Attacks

Psychic Balance

If you have less cards in your hand than your opponent, draw cards until you have the same number of cards as your opponent. (If you have more or the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does nothing.)

Re-creation

Cost: Psychic · Colorless · Colorless

Choose an attack on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon in his or her discard pile. Re-creation copies that attack except for its Energy cost. (You must still do anything else required for that attack.) Mew performs that attack.

Documented variants
