Mew best moveset?

What moveset do you think is best for Mew?
In my opinion, best moveset will be:
Shadow Claw+ Dark Pulse
Deal SE dmg against psychic type pokemons (like Alakazam and Mewtwo), and Mew take NVE dmg from psychic type attacks and Focus Blast.

Pound and SoB have the best dps even accounting for psychic STAB

But do you think Mew is good as a generalist? I think he is better as a specialist.

I have now Steel Wing / Solar Beam and I'm experimenting a bit with it. It's not the moveset I hoped for, but it's not bad at all for the new T3 solos like Omastar and Kabutops, and it's likely to be useful against Regirock if it comes out as a raid boss.

I'm definitely keeping it like that for a little while, even if it's not very useful against Lati@s. For Lati@s premiere balls are more important for me than experimenting with Mew, so I use optimized counters, and it's not that I have any TM at the moment either anyway.

Frost Breath and Ice Beam and he suddenly becomes a decent Lati@s counter

Mew is a decent ice attacker but ice is not good for countering Latis due to only single weakness. Jynx and Articuno are the only ones that appear in the top 24 DPS at #9 and #24.

Against Rayquaza Mew would've been solid since it falls somewhere between Lapras and Walrein in DPS and tankiness.

For lati@s he will be better with SC. Then you can choose between IB, DG and DP. hard to say which is better but DG has the advantage of boosted in cloudy weather, DP has the advantage of synergy with SC as a psychic specialist.

Lucky to get Mew with Dark Pulse as charge move. Used Fast TM x2 from DT->VS->Snarl. I bet Snarl and Shadow Claw are close in terms of weave DPS, so I will take that and no more TM on it.

Did a few sims against Latias raid boss with a level 40 Mew:
DT/DP 1118,4s
SC/DP 1135,8s
S/DP 1162,7s
Difference between Shadow Claw and Snarl is a measly 2%.

In Pokemon Go Hub they have it (not sure if it's ok to redirect to a "competitor" site, though):

It does not matter. You could spend hundreds of TMs and never get it.

Niantic's master plan to get us to use our hundreds of unused fast TMs

I for one am glad to have somewhere to use them - I'm almost at the point of throwing some fast TMs away. Only so many times you can change the fast move on Mewtwo or Groudon before you are done with that.

Solo challenges have been great for burning FTMs somewhat meaningfully. I've TM'd my Mewtwo between PC and C about 10 times now, swapped Scizor from FC to BP for one Jynx raid then right back, Snorlax from ZH to L for one Gengar raid then back etc.

You could but on average it will only cost you 13 fTMs and 24 cTMs to get the move you want.

We'll never know for sure until someone tries out all the available movesets

I’m going for Shawdow Claw / Dark Pulse
I see Mew primarily as a counter to Psychic type Pokémons

That’s the moveset I wanted. Took only 5 fast TMs and 6 charge TMs. I consider myself VERY lucky.

The moveset I’m going for is Shadow Claw/Psyshock. Luckily it took me 3 Charge TMs to get Psyshock, still working on Fast TMs though. I’m at 7 used: started out with Struggle Bug to Dragon Tail, Rock Smash, Frost Breath, Snarl, Pound, Infestation and I’m currently at Steel Wing.
