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 ;)
