Getting Mew in Pok\u00e9mon Yellow<\/em> (and Red<\/em> and Blue<\/em>, too) can only be done via a glitch in the game, unless you\u2019re using cheats. It\u2019s actually a lot easier than most people think and can be done by following a few simple steps that we\u2019ll take you through in this article.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It should be noted that you don\u2019t need to get Mew to complete the Pokedex, but who doesn\u2019t want this mystical cat-like Psychic Pok\u00e9mon in their squad! Read on to learn how to catch Mew in Pok\u00e9mon Yellow.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Head north from Cerulean City on follow the Nugget Bridge path<\/p>\n

Before starting, you\u2019ll need to have a Pok\u00e9mon with the ability to Fly or Teleport, so you might want to read our guide on how to catch Abra first. Note that if you do want to catch Abra, you\u2019ll have to avoid the trainer that stands in the patch of grass where you find him. The reason why will become clear in a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you reach Cerulean City for the first time (the glitch won\u2019t work unless you do it on the first visit) head north on the Nugget Bridge and take a left when you get to the top. On the other side of the water you\u2019ll see a guy standing in the grass. You\u2019ll want to approach him very slowly. As soon as you move within his sight press the menu button (see picture below). You\u2019ll have to press the menu button almost immediately after pressing down to move closer to him. This is the hardest part to execute in the glitch so take your time to get it right and save the game beforehand!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Press the menu button as soon as you step closer to the guy at the bottom<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got the menu button open, use a Pok\u00e9mon with either the Fly or Teleport ability to transport back to the Pok\u00e9mon Center. You\u2019ll know that you\u2019ve done it right if there is an exclamation mark above the trainer as you are teleporting away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now that you are back in Cerulean City, head north on Nugget Bridge again, but this time take a right towards Route 24. You\u2019ll want to defeat all of the trainers there except for the YOUNGSTER trainer highlighted in the picture below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After defeating all the other trainers, teleport back to the Pok\u00e9mon Center in Cerulean City and heal all of your Pok\u00e9mon. Head back north and up Nugget Bridge and go back towards the YOUNGSTER trainer from the picture above. You don\u2019t want to walk right in front of him though. The glitch necessitates that you must move up next to the wall and then try and walk past him. See the picture below to see the highlighted point where you should walk to. Walking past the trainer in this position will prompt him to approach you and start a battle. Defeat the YOUNGSTER and Teleport back to the Pok\u00e9mon Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Go past the \u2018Youngster\u2019 trainer, but not directly in front of him<\/p>\n

The hard part is over and now you\u2019re well on your way to acquiring the mystical 151st Pok\u00e9mon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re back at the Pok\u00e9mon Center, head back up the Nugget Bridge north of Cerulean City for the last time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As you walk up along the bridge, the game will pause automatically, simply unpause the game and you\u2019ll enter a battle with Mew. Now all you have to do is capture it. It\u2019s worth having a Master Ball ready to guarantee the capture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The game will automatically pause on the Nugget Bridge<\/p>\n
