Mew (ミュウ), the "New Species" Pokémon secretly created by Shigeki Morimoto for the original Pokémon games in 1996, resembles a small pink feline with large blue eyes and a long, thin tail. Curious, playful, and elusive, Mew is said to contain the genetic information of all Pokémon and is often regarded as their common ancestor. Its unique biology grants it remarkable versatility, including the ability to learn an extraordinary variety of moves, become invisible, and use Transform to mimic other Pokémon.
