Power up Mew? 3 Tricks/Hacks to catching Mew (2/2)

Some tasks are very frustrating and tedious, and it requires lot of patience and hard work to complete.  However, we work hard and work smart too.  There are smart ways/hacks to go about completing the quests/tasks to catch Mew...

Task 1: Perform 10 Raids (A Mythical Discovery [6/8] )

This task could be a arduous one, considering the amount of raid passes you would be limited to per day (1 per day).  Things could be even more trickier if you happened to have few gyms around your area. 

So we have to take note of a few facts for us to plan and strategise in such a way that we complete at least 1 raid a day.

• We are only required to perform a raid, not win or battle in one.  If gyms are in short supply in your area, all you need to do is surrender your raid pass while you are passing by 1 without even battling the boss. You can even do that while commuting to work/school.
• Raid doesnt last throughout the day... i,e no raid after 7pm in Singapore.  Therefore for those working, best timing to complete this task is before work or while you are commuting!
• There is more than 1 way to get raid pass, cough Premium Raid Pass and Ex-Raid Pass
• People with higher level of gym badge have a better chance to get ex-raid pass.  
• Ex-raid pass are frequently located at parks or at sponsored location  

Task 2: Perform an Excellent Throw (A Mythical Discovery [7/8] )

Niantic Lab have rated throw landing on the green circle by "Nice", "Great" and "Excellent", based on size of green circle (smaller would earn a greater rating).  Landing on the smallest the green circle would get would earn the excellent rating.

No doubt, part of earning a excellent rating would depend on skills, i.e curve ball throw and ensuring the curve ball land in the center of the pokemon.

There are ways to increase your chances of getting an excellent throw.  That way would be to choose Pokemon that would appear bigger on the screen.  My favourite Pokemon for that would be Wailmar.

Picking the right Pokemon is essential because the smallest green circle would be magnified.

Task 3: Catching 50 Pokemon using a Berry ( A Mythical Discovery [7/8] )

It is very common to realise that you are out of Razz berry before you even know it, thanks to the fact it makes catching Pokemon so much easier and feeding berries to Pokemon in gym giving that extra stardust.  But the good news is that you don't necessary need to use Razz berries, other berries would do though it is a waste, i.e. Nanab Berries or even Pinap Berries.

Besides these tasks, there are other hard to complete tasks not covered.  Click this link to find out more.

One last tips to consider, you might want to practice more on catching in AR mode before the big day.  Hint hint, Mew would be appearing in AR and it is not as visible as it seems ;)

Power up Mew? 3 Tricks/Hacks to catching Mew (1/2)

Have you still not gotten your Mew yet?  Are you still stuck in some quests/tasks which impossible to complete/not worth the hassle to catch?  After all, it is just another Pokemon, should you pass up on catching Mew?

Mew is not the most powerful Pokemon out there

Well, Mew is not just another Pokemon! Ya ya ya, Mew is the most ancient, powerful, mythical, one of a kind blah blah... No doubt, Mew is strong with a stats of: 

Attack   : 210

Defence: 210

Stamina: 200

Max CP: 3,090

But to be brutally honest, there are better options out there. Eg. Dragonite for Attacking or Defending Gym (Higher IVs: 3,581 and Attack, 263), Blissey for Defending Gym (Massive amount of HP) or Tyranitar which is very painful and durable (Attack: 251 and Defence: 212), etc.... Not forgetting the terror and prowess of its counterpart, MewTwo.

And not forgetting there being no other ways to capture Mew, the only way to get more Mew candy would be to buddy it (a gruelling 20 Km per candy) or Rare Candy.

Still we should catch and power it up

Despite saying so, we should not miss the chance to catch it as it may be the only chance for us to catch it.  Which brings us one step closer to completing our Pokedex.  

Knowing that it is not the strongest Pokemon out there, Mew still plays a important role as a utility powerhouse in your combat team. 

Mew being advertised as the Pokemon that contain the genetic composition of all Pokemon, it is able to use moves of all elements.  That includes painful, high damage ultimate like Hyper Beam (Normal), Blizzard (Ice), Solar Beam (Plant), Psychic (Psychic), Focus Blast (Fighting) more...

Bearing these into consideration, there would be instances where you would be lacking specialist in certain elements.  Mew would come in and serve as a strong reinforcement to that.

The ultimate verdict is that should you have enough rare candy, or you travelled a lot, you should power up Mew.
