The Pokemon TCG Pocket Mew is a Psychic card that players can earn through a special challenge, and there’s another one on the way: a special Mew ex card that will be added as part of the Mythical Island expansion.
We’ll cover how to get the secret mew card here, not the newer one, and how to complete the Kanto Pokedex challenge that you need to beat to unlock it. Here’s how to get Mew in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and how good the actual card is once you have it.
How to get the Mew card in Pokemon TCG Pocket

To get the Pokemon TCG Pocket Mew card, as mentioned above, you need tocomplete the Kanto Pokedex,which means getting at least one of every of the original 150 Pokemon in the game.
Once you do so, an option will come up in your “missions” tab to complete the quest and reward you with the Mew card itself, like any other mission reward. This is one of severalPokemon TCG Pocket Secret Missions, all of which have their own requirements and reward. Not only that, Mew is actually used to complete a different secret mission, “The Immersive 4”.

Again, this isnotthe same as the Mew card shown in thePokemon TCG Pocket Mythical Islandexpansion. That is the Mew ex card (seen above), a much more powerful version of the card.
Is Mew a good card in Pokemon TCG Pocket?

To be blunt,Mew is not a very good card in any deck,and is arguably more of a way to boast about your collection than a real contender for the list ofPokemon TCG Pocket best cards. It’s also one of the “Immersive” cards, so holding you finger down on it in your collection or Binder will let you see a little video of Mew exploring different environments and Pokemon.
As seen above, Mew is a basic 60 health Psychic type with a 1 Energy attack, “Psy Report”, that does 20 damage and lets you look at the opponent’s hand, same as the Hand Scope item. It’s not awful and might serve passably in the early game, but we can’t really see it having a place in any of thePokemon TCG Pocket best decksat time of writing.
How to complete the Kanto Pokedex

To complete the Kanto Pokedex, you need to getat least one variant of all the original 150 Pokemonfrom the games and card sets. That means you can theoretically substitute some cards with rarer variants (or the differentPokemon TCG Pocket Promo cards), but you do still have to get 150 cards nonetheless. So you do have to get Mankey, for example, but it can either be the normal version from a card pack, or the special Promo version from thePokemon TCG Pocket Lapras ex event.
Mew may not be a great card, but its edgy clone is a very different matter. Check out how to make the meta-bustingPokemon TCG Pocket Mewtwo ex deckhere, or find out if we’ll see aPokemon TCG Pocket PCport here!
