- In this video we cover the infamous Mew glitch! The Mew glitch is a hidden trick in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow that allows you to catch the mythical and elusive 151st Pokémon, Mew, despite it not being available in-game. Now, normally, you would need to wait until at least Cerulean City to achieve this feat; however in Pokémon Yellow you can achieve this as soon as Mt. Moon! Watch as we delve into the process of achieving that in today’s video!

Oh cool, I've never done it this way before. I always did it in Red or Blue version, using the Youngster with the slowpoke and the bug catcher on route 24.
Yeah that's the earliest you can do it in Pokemon Red and Blue. However, as mentioned in the video, in Pokemon Yellow this earlier opportunity exists. You basically need to simply have the last Pokemon encountered have a Special Stat Value of 21 to get Mew from this glitch; the Koffing on the Super Nerd for instance has that value so it results in Mew. Different values will result in different Pokemon, I believe a value of 22 gets you a Gyarados if memory serves, and using moves like Growl will lower the level of the Pokemon encountered through the glitch.
0:13 is a jumpscare
Hilarious
Imagine having youtube back then.
Kids today will never know the struggle.
Cheatplanet ftw
Indeed! Nowadays you can just look this stuff up and get all the steps laid out for you. Back when these games first came out people had to figure this all out on their own.
Nah, it was always at the school playground where we shared our findings. Especially the trick to find Mew behind the truck.
You can use this method to complete the Pokedex without trading. I saw a table for it a few years ago.
Hey I thought I was the only one that knew this. Fun fact, there's a hiker in mt.moon you can do this with too, and depending on who you fight, you can even get missingno! In addition, who you talk to AFTER the random trainer fight but before encountering the mew (or whatever) will change the dialogue before the fight starts. If you talk to the electrode in cerulean you even pick up a TM before the fight
I was aware of the dialogue changes for trainers but didn't know about the TM from the electrode. That's an interesting bit of information. Thanks for sharing it!
You thought u was the only one!?😂😅
It's just utilizing the most convoluted console in gaming history.
Thank you for this Video, worked perfectly! Finally I can play through Kanto with Mew in my Party and without Cheats!
This method also feels like a myth you used to hear at the school but actually works!
I'm glad the video helped! Definitely understand that you'd get that vibe from it. A lot of glitches in these old games had a certain mystique to them that felt like a schoolyard myth. It's part of what makes them so special, in my opinion. But I digress, enjoy the Mew, and thanks for watching the video!
0:55 DO NOT FIGHT HIM🤣🤣🤣
You can do this as early as the forest. In order to teleport, get poisoned and time walking into view of a trainer with the poison about to kill u to white out
Now that I think about it that's, indeed, another possible method of triggering the glitch! I didn't think of that until you mentioned it so thanks for sharing. I appreciate the input!
@theomniwildcard that is the very first possible instance of doing this, literally 0 badges. I used to do it with the final trainer before you exit the forest from the top. But you showed another trainer near the bottom of the forest, so 2 possible trainers I guess
You should add the growl glitch together with the mew glitch so you can get a level 1 mew then under exp level it so it can level up directly to 100
Good point. I was considering mentioning that in the video but decided not to. I appreciate the input though!
Whaaaaat????
@@BIG_762 yeah there is a glitch that can jump your pokemon from level 1 to 100 in one battle
😮 yooo this is something I never knew. Awesome video dropping a sub forsure ❤
I appreciate it! Also I'm glad to have shown you something new.
does this work the same as in the Red and Blue version with Growls?
if you growl at the trainer's pokemon in R&B, it would alter the summoned pokemon's lvl. setting up 6 growls would result in a lvl 1 spawn that upon capture and gaining any exp would jump to lvl 100. but using just a few growls would lower it from lvl 7 to something that might be easier to capture
To my knowledge, yes, it does work that way in Pokemon Yellow with Growls. I would've mentioned it in the video but it, admittedly, slipped my mind at the time. I'm glad you found the video useful though!
I only watched it because of the thumbnail, I thought that Mew would be in the overworld just like Pikachu.
Anyway the video on its own is fine, I’m sure a few people will catch a Mew thanks to you ^^
Apologies if the thumbnail was slightly misleading. I merely meant that afterwards you would have the Mew in your team of Pokemon. The intent was never to be misleading or click-bait so I apologize for that. I'm glad you found the video useful though!
@@theomniwildcard Ah it's okay, sometimes it's good to expect something new. Sometimes old games have undiscovered stuff, it feels good to scratch that itch once in a while and think 'what if'
@@theomniwildcardngl literally got a do not recommend from me as a result. Not hating but letting you know should you choose to go a different route in the future. Cheers.
Welp my original yellow reset. Time to catch two mews lol.
Mew is basically useless besides HM use. The easiest, less money and time is to use the first swimmer in Cerulean City gym from an abra in the party.
Mew learning psychic at level 40 not learning psychic moves before when drowzee and kadabra learn psychic earlier (32; 38)
True, Mew is more of a novelty than anything. Still, this is the earliest opportunity to acquire one in Pokemon Yellow.
why stop there?
the nugget bridge is most famous for this, however there are a few ways. BUT why stop there? upon continuing the mew glitch
you can get scyther, ryhorn, nidoqueen x2, cubone and many others all before you fight misty, they will all be level 7.
True, though explaining how to do all that would take another video.
Oh that’s right, the special stat match’s Mews Glitch Code on that trainer. I never tried it that way, I caught multiple Mews by letting my trainer faint after a battle in the Cerulean Gym.
You can pretty much find many Pokémon like that by battling various trainers. I did it while I was clearing the Silph Co BUT! If you do this constantly you will soon notice that items AND trainers are disappearing. Which, in my case, was GIOVANNI! So I had to basically restart my whole save!
Still works on the 3DS virtual console system I prefer the long way to easily catch this and laugh afterwards I've been using this glitch for a decade now its the best ever
This is cool nice glitch makes me go back to playing red again
Thanks! I'm currently replaying the originals myself on my physical carts. I'm glad you found the video useful though!
@@theomniwildcard :) np
Am currently on a hard grind in pokemon go
This worked for me, thanks
I'm glad it worked for you!
Strength on the truck!
That myth has been thoroughly debunked, to my knowledge anyways.
It works and I got catch with Mew and others, now I have Mew, Slowbro X2 in early.. lol
Question. If I use the walkthrough walls to grab both fossils. Would that affect this method in any way?
Not to my knowledge. The glitch would still work as far as I know.
@@theomniwildcard Ah, that reminds me. I believe walkthrough walls in only available in red/blue because you need a Bulbasaur for it and it lets you leave Pewter city early. That said, I've heard a Pidgey with specific stats works too. I could probably try that in yellow. Would you by any chance know about the Pidgey stats?
@@Hiro7445- Sadly no, I do not, that is a gap in my knowledge on this particular method. I wish you luck with your attempt, however, and I hope this guide was useful!
@@theomniwildcard just thought I'd let you know. Nope, Yellow is exempt from brockthroughwalls
I’m trying to do the new glitch on my yellow cartridge and when I go to fight the slowpoke kid I won’t enter the battle. Pikachu will look around and I tried a second time where I talked to them from the side and they would turn left to talk to me and look back up. But had the battle music.
Not sure what you did but it sounds like something went wrong somewhere. I'm aware of the variation of the Mew Glitch that involves the Slowpoke trainer but I couldn't say why it's doing that specifically.
To really figure out what went wrong I'd need to look at things step-by-step. Maybe I'll cover the other methods in a video at some point.
@@theomniwildcard I was informed in a group I’m apart of that I need to have that trainer walk to me. Which I was not allowing to happen. So I’ll be trying this later today and getting my second Mew!
@@Aaron.Seabolt Yeah, that would do it. I'm glad you got it sorted out though. Have fun with that extra Mew!
what are you playing this on? im wanting to get it for my computer if its possible
Visual Boy Advance-M is what I use to emulate this on my PC. You should be able to find it pretty easily if you search for it on Google. I hope this answers your question!
@@theomniwildcard thanks I been looking for a good emulator to play this.
This actually was helpful.
I would have liked to know this in 1998 since I could only wait or wait for someone to give it to me.😢
Hey, just a hint, the volume on this video is super low.
I'm sorry about that I'm gonna up the volume for future videos and fiddle with the audio balance to see if I can remedy that. I appreciate the input though!
thank you! i cant believe i just did this!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could be of help.
i remember i did this with abra and just talking to a trainer next to a bridge
That's the earliest available spot in Pokemon Red & Blue, if I recall. It's on Route 24 with the trainer in the grass to the west of Nugget Bridge if it's the one I'm thinking of. I did that one all the time with my copy of the original Red & Blue. I hope you enjoyed the video though!
@@theomniwildcard yea it was a nice video, i didn't know there were other methods since i kept only hearing about the nugget bridge one, so it was really neat seeing another way to get mew! a while back i just went and did that on my yellow and blue copies, since red is beyond redemption rn 😭
Then, I can catch a total of 3 mew with one yellow version? (Viridian Forest Glitch, route 24 glitch, gym trainer glitch)
In theory, yes, you could!
@@theomniwildcard oh, wow. Thank you for the informative video and answer!
@@runellian You're welcome. I'm glad the video proved useful to you!
Don't you miss out on the gengar by doing this
Not sure what Gengar you're talking about, but it's possible that you do. I'd have to know what you're referring to specifically to give a definitive answer.
Nice
Wasn't there a similar glitch with a high level Ryhdon? Or Ninoking. But this is interesting.
I forget, in honesty, that's something I'll have to look into though. Thanks for the info and I'm glad you found this interesting!
Yes there is a glitch for level 1 Gengar and Nidoking and after one battle it levels up to level 100
@@RAYZOR09 so question is how do you get Genger in original Red and blue (without trading)
What item would this delete?
It deletes the Helix Fossil from the world-map. So in theory you could skip choosing a fossil if you use this glitch because the fossil no longer blocks your path.
@@theomniwildcard do I need to use repel at any point?
@@DisturbedDante Not really unless you want to grab the Helix Fossil before the glitch removes it from the map. If you've properly cleared everything between you and Viridian Forest you shouldn't need any repels to pull this off since the last Pokemon you encounter has the proper special stat to spawn a Mew. Just don't encounter any new Pokemon after fighting the Super Nerd and you'll be fine.
Good video but your audio is a little quiet
Sorry about that I'll try and address it in future videos! I appreciate the input though!
Great
Red blue green(japan only) and yellow we could do the mew glitch theres a glitch too where tou can fight professor oak which implies he was meant to be the final battle in red and blue also i never seen the mew glitch done this way either i tnink its cool
I'm glad I could show you something new and interesting!
Also I've heard about the battle with Oak before. It's an interesting theory but Game Freak has never confirmed or denied it as being official or just a glitch to my knowledge.
@@theomniwildcard oak was 100% intentional but was last minute scrapped and not included in final game i mean it even has 3 different teams the only difference being which starter he own so probably originally he wouldve used the starter that neither you nor your rival took
"The internal data of these games includes information for the Trainer Prof. Oak. It seems that Professor Oak was intended to be a post-game boss battle at some point that was cut before release since the Pokémon on his team are the highest-level Trainer Pokémon in the entire game.
To battle Prof. Oak, you can use the Trainer-Fly glitch and battle a Pokémon with a Special stat of 226.
Prof. Oak has three teams, though the only difference between each one is his final Pokémon-either a Venusaur, Charizard or Blastoise. To activate the battle with Prof. Oak via the Trainer-Fly Glitch, you must lower the Ditto's Attack stage to −6 for Blastoise, −5 for Venusaur or −4 for Charizard. You can lower Ditto's Attack by using Growl."
His team is always: Tauros, Exeggutor, Arcanine, "one of the 3 starters final evo" , Gyarados
What if in an alternate timeline, Mew was a catchable reward for Dex completion? After showing the Pokedex to Prof. Oak.
That'd be nice. Sadly we're stuck with having to use glitches.
I remember doing something very similar near Bill's house on blue. Many pokemon are obtainable this way such as Gengar.
Daffy duck? Is that you?
I just did this glitch.
Neat
I'm glad you found the video interesting!
I did this years ago but literally forgot 99% on how to get it. if my memory is correct, this is not the exact thing I did. 😅 there is another method which I said, 99% of it I forgot. 😂
Well I'm glad to have brought up some memories and maybe even showed you something a little new!
Now make it legal for trade
How do people even find these glitches?
A good question! One I personally wish I had an answer to myself.
This is a cool thing. I actually did a "only water pokemon" run, with a water type HM slave for cut (using the mew glitch), using a similar method.
It's insane, though and needs plenty of luck. Easy to do on emulator, but hard on a real game boy...
I am not sure I should tell anyone how exactly it works, since figuring out how to do this, is the crazy/fun part...
Just when you think you found out how this is possible, you will find some really annoying limitations. The whole setup is kind of ridiculous, since the programmers accidentally made this possible, in the most unlikely way xD
Tbh I could see it being possible. It'd be hard to pull off and require the use of glitches to an extent but it'd definitely be plausible. Glad you enjoyed the video though and thanks for sharing this info!
I only needed the mew glitch to get a water type HM slave for CUT. :) (not sure about the total number of available glitches, but I think many glitches do not work if you only have the water type starter)
@@theomniwildcard
Nice coverage of the glitch.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
So you can get two mews now?
Technically yes, if you use the glitch in the other viable locations you can get more than one.
As many as you want. As long as there is still one trainer you're able to battle that walks up to you, you can perform this glitch an infinite number of times. This is easily doable by just losing the battle instead of winning
I use the Celdon City route
True, there are other spots where this glitch can be done, but it doesn't hurt to know more of them. Hope you enjoyed the video!
Is this real? I’ve always wanted mew as a kid and never got him.
Yes this method works and I've done it myself this way multiple times on a physical cartridge of the game. Go get that Mew!
Try the Konami code up up down down left right left right B A
haters will say its fake
Yet it's completely legitimate and I've done it on my physical cartridges before. I mean sure it's obtained through a glitch but if you know the associated Special Values for each Pokemon you could technically use this same glitch to get various different Pokemon. I believe with a Special stat value of 22 you'd get Gyarados and 21 is Mew if memory serves. That's a little extra knowledge for ya!
Necro is you? 😂😂
I'm not sure who that is but I suppose I'll take it as a compliment. Thanks for watching the video and I hope it was useful!
Why is this only available in yellow version?
Because the long-range Trainer in Viridian Forest isn't present in Pokemon Red or Blue version there isn't a chance to exploit this particular glitch earlier than Route 24 in those games. The glitch requires a long-range Trainer encounter to work. So, ultimately, you're limited by how many of them exist and where they're located.
If you meant why they made this decision in terms of the design of the games, I couldn't really say. I could make some educated guesses but for a definitive answer you'd have to ask the Game Freak devs.
Is there a legit way to get mew?
Not anymore, no. All legit Mews were from events and I think the one for Generation 1 was a Japan-exclusive event.
Thank you it's was I got himmmmmm
I'm glad the video proved useful!
My brother found every pokemon lv 7 this way, except Zapdos.
Yeah, it could be used to get any Pokemon in theory, provided you knew the associated special stat value required. That being said, I appreciate you sharing this and hope you enjoyed the video!
I wonder if this is a glitch or a easter egg what the devolpers have put in to the game. Nice one anyways!
A good question and one I personally would love an answer to myself!
It's a glitch
Yeah it's 100% a glitch, Mew was supposed to be a rare event pokemon.
It's a glitch
Those were FPS! Not the garbage we had in Pokemon Scarlet.
😮 solo falta que alguien nos enseñe como tener a Mew como inicial y todos seremos felices ❤
PokeHEX
your voice is far too quiet my friend
Yeah, I know. I fixed that in future videos, but thanks for the input. It's appreciated.
Theres also another possibility to get mew on mt Moon
At Mount Moon take the secound ladder down there is a rocket member looking up u could do the Trainer escape glitch with him
After that Go to the pc and look at one status of your mons that will do the Same as the youngster who escorts u to brocks gym
After that Go back to Mt Moon but dont go down the ladder instead battle the guy Right after the ladder to the rocket member
After that Go down the ladder to the exploited rocket member but dont Go all the way down instead hunt for a paras Level 13
If you fought one go down to the rocket member and ur start menu will pop and a battle will start with mew
Attention: some paras level 13 wont have a special stat of 21 its also a little bit of luck
Thats an Easter egg not a glitch
An easter egg can also be a glitch but easter eggs are always intentional inclusions in a game. With no evidence that it was an intentional feature of the game classifying it as a glitch but not an easter egg is accurate here.
Liar no secret unlocked at all, you are just using one of the earliest setups for the REGULAR "Mew Glitch" (it's called Trainer Fly Glitch). You didn't unlock shit you glitched and caught a Pokémon like a lot of us prior.
First off, it's just a video title and there's no reason to get so offended. Second, not everyone knows about every single instance where this glitch can be performed and there was no video coverage I could find on CZcams of this particular instance prior to this video. Thirdly, to someone who has never heard of this particular case of the glitch being utilized it could be considered a secret to them and this is purely an informative video meant to show how it works.
Finally, why do you even see the need to be so offended about this that you left this comment? Why is this so important to you that you see a need to "call out" someone over something that is a matter of perspective? Instead of simply looking for a reason to be upset you could've just taken this video for what it is and moved on but you chose to get all bent-out-of-shape about it instead. It's only a video title.
@@theomniwildcard I am not offended I am calling you out for being intentionally misleading in the title, I would have watched anyway if you just wrote Mew Glitch. The title implies there is something MORE to it besides the Mew as if it would unlock a secret area very few or none have seen before, which would be GIGANTIC news considering how well documented and aged the game is. Nothing more nothing less the title is a plain lie, I get the clickbait thing but be HONEST about it if you do it and don't throw a COMPLETE LIE in there. I have to admit I didn't know this specific way of doing it. Also maybe you should have combined it with the exp underflow Glitch since that can be done in Viridian Forrest too.
@@GermanAnimeStudioZZWas not my intent to be click-baity in a negative way so I've updated the title to be less hyperbolic and not imply anything misleading.
As for the EXP underflow glitch I had considered mentioning it at the time, but I felt it was better to be more focused for the sake of concise explanation. I'll probably cover the EXP underflow glitch along with other glitches in a future video.
@@theomniwildcard it's fine man sorry for the harsh choice of words, I am kinda like a loaded gun sometimes shoot first and think how it came across later. I'd recommend something along the lines of new Mew Glitch, or alternate Mew Glitch (sounds even better) . It's something that unites us (the series). Besides that keep it up my man, there are a few very tricky glitches if you want to try them(i failed at item underflow that shit is very complicated, if you only go by the text something like a few A4 pages ) the safari zone Glitch is nice and somewhat "easy" , but you have to count precisely.
Nice bait
Not sure what you mean. There was no clickbait here and the purpose of the thumbnail was merely to show that you'd have a Mew by the end of the process.
Someone else mistook the thumbnail to mean that the Mew would be following them around like Pikachu. I apologized for that as that was not the intent and I could see how that misconception could occur.
