Introduced in {{ | Introduced in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, Mew is a pink, feline, Psychic-type Pokémon that somewhat resembles an embryo. It is often depicted as floating through the air, sometimes encased in a bubble of energy. Within the {{s|bulbapedia|Pokédex}}, it is registered at #151 as the "New Species Pokémon", being the last Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex. It is said to be the origin of all other species of Pokémon, and as such, it can legitimately learn any TM move and most tutoring moves in the game. Sightings of Mew are very rare, as the Pokémon is normally invisible, only revealing itself to the pure of heart. | ||
Some time in the past, Mew was encountered and captured by scientists, who performed a multitude of experiments until it gave birth to a clone, dubbed [[Mewtwo]]. Oddly enough, Mew is numbered after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, most likely due to its late inclusion during the franchise's development. | Some time in the past, Mew was encountered and captured by scientists, who performed a multitude of experiments until it gave birth to a clone, dubbed [[Mewtwo]].

Its elusive nature is also reflected appropriately; it is among the rarest Pokémon to encounter in each installment, and doing so is usually acknowledged through a [[notice]]. | ||

It will not do anything, but will instead remain on the screen for a few seconds, then fly off. Its appearance is rare since it is a legendary Pokémon. If Mew is summoned by the player in the [[1P Game]], the player is awarded the '''Mew Catcher''' bonus, worth '''10,000 points'''. Mew has a 1-in-151 chance of appearing in the game, in reference to Mew's Pokedex number, and the total number of Pokémon at the time when ''Super Smash Bros.'' came out.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Pokemon.html]</ref> | ||
