So you’ve finally got your hands on the long awaited Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. You’ve gotten your hands a on a Manaphy (don’t worry, if you haven’t then check out how to here) and now you want to expand your Pokedex even more. Well we’ll share the not-so-secret way to get yourself your own Mew! Thankfully, it’s pretty easy although you may

First thing’s first, you’ll need to either have a save data from Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Let’s Go, Eevee! on your switch. If you don’t have one, then don’t worry. You can ask a friend for their cartridge, shove it in your switch and save their game onto your switch. This will be enough to make Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl think you’ve played through it. Once you’ve jumped through that loop, you’ll have full access to getting your hands on your own Mew!

All you need to do if follow these steps:

  1. Make your way to Floaroma Town.
  2. Find and talk to the elderly woman in the flowers. She’ll be towards the left of the town’s entrance.
  3. She will give you Mew!

That’s how easy it is! Of course, if you didn’t have your own save for Let’s Go, then maybe it involved a bit more hoop jumping. But hopefully you managed to get yourself one.

Note! You can’t get a shiny Mew this way. The Mew you get from this woman is shiny locked, so no amount of resets or retries will make it shiny. Don’t waste a week trying to get it to be a shiny!

Once you’ve got yourself one, let us know what you named it in the comments if you named it at all! Consider checking out more of our Pokeon content, we cover just about all the new Pokemon games! Especially Pokemon Go and any new releases!
