Similar events have taken place throughout the many core-seriesPokemongames over the course of the franchise’s life, but a newly-announced event in the Gen 9 games allows fans to meet a remarkably rare and powerful Pokemon that has been something of an icon for thePokemonfranchise since as far back asPokemon Red and Blue. This Pokemon is Mew, the first mythical Pokemon ever to be introduced to the franchise.

Mew is just the start of the event though, with fans able to take part in several waves of Tera Raid battles throughout August which grant access to useful rewards. These goods, along with the obtainable Mew, should help players gather the strength they need to face the Mightiest Mark Mewtwo who will appear inPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s 7-star Tera Raid battlesfrom September 1st through September 17th.
Mew is a Pokemon that hasn’t been commonly available via events over the past few years, though many dedicated Pokemon fans may havehad the opportunity to obtain the mythical Pokemonfrom thePokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearlgames if they have save data in thePokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!games. The fabled Pokemon’s rarity has been the source of countless rumors over the decades, perhaps most popular of which is the “Mew under the truck” rumor from as far back as the Gen 1 games.
