I’ve searched trying to find a consensus- currently dragon tail/I’ve beam, I have plenty of both TM so trying for a specific move I don’t mind. Considering I want to use in Raids, also in solo level 3 ( I can do all easily so I’ll throw in for fun) and gyms which would be the best all around moveset to have?
For all purpose use, his STAB moves are probably the way to go
Sub-question: What moves have you cycled through so far?
I predicted I would get Bulldoze when I caught Mew and I did :(
SC/Bulldoze>>>SC/Blizzard>>>>SC/Ice Beam.
I'm gonna keep that moveset for now since it's semi relevant to the Lati-twins
What happened is today I did two Latios raids and got 2xCTMs and 2xFTMs on both...changed two previous high IV Latios (one boosted) to Dragon Claw on first try, then changed a level 30 Hariyama from HS to Dynamic Punch on first try. After that luck flushed out those FTMs bc I don’t really care about them.
You lucky bastard. You're so close to the right moveset, just need some fast TMs.
While it's not the absolute best moveset on Mew, the one you should go for is Frost Breath/Ice Beam. ProdigiesNation did an analysis of this moveste and found that it puts Mew on par with Lapras, making it a high level Ice Type pokemon.
While other movesets are technically better, it has no chance of overtaking the best Psychic or Dragon types or even being in the top 5. With Ice types, Mew could actually see use. It becomes the #2 Ice type, tied with Legacy Lapras and only behind Arcticuno until Gen 4 releases.
As for Stab, forgetaboutit. I'd favor weather typing over Stab in this case.
Here is the video analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7N2f6gXw90
I was thinking something like Shadow Claw/Dazzling gleam, SC/dark pulse, SC/DC, figure can be somewhat relevant vs dragon twins also either machamp/Alakazam raids for fun and all decent for gym sweeps
DT/IB is fine but I legit hate DT
I guess I should just admit I really have no clue what moveset I want with mew im now annoyed lol
I did a graph of Mew's fast moves, plotting DPS vs EPS. The Pareto frontier of the best moves looks like this, going from best EPS to best DPS:
Charge Beam
Infestation
Snarl
Pound
Poison Jab
Dragon Tail
Steel Wing
Steel Wing is only a tiny bit more damage than Dragon Tail for a significant energy loss. Shadow Claw is a hair lower EPS than Poison Jab, for the same DPS. Of the remaining moves, Frost Breath is the closest to the frontier.
For the best combination with relevance to Latios/Latias, Snarl is probably the winner, with Dragon Tail a close second. Of course, this assumes you have a good charged move that's worth powering up. Otherwise, Steel Wing is top drawer.
My Mew came with Charge Beam/Solar Beam, an interesting set, best possible energy generation and highest overall Base Damage. Not sure it's close to optimal, but I'm not overly worried about it.
Right, so you mean a 620 total base stats are shit tier? What are then for you Exeggutor (581), Gengar (537) and Gardevoir (593)? Even the mighty Moltres is 615.
No, Mew is the most balanced pokemon in the game. You may or may not like that it's 210 attack or that it doesn't have a STAB fast move, but it's very far from being a shit tier pokemon.
For right now, I got, and like shadow claw/dazzling gleam. I powered mew up to level 30. At that level, he can tank one solar beam. So, can reliably get off three dazzling gleams against Latios before fainting. If I was doing an extreme raid, two or three manning, I would swap him out. Otherwise, he does ok and is fun to play.
Agreed. There's still STAB to take into account for ice attackers, but FB/IB is very comfortable to fight with being easy to dodge with, high-energy gain, strong and 2-bar. Comparatively, Walrein learns only 1-bar blizzard, and for Lapras Ice Beam is legacy, while none of them really pack the attack stat to make them better than Mew.
