Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature. Mew's hair is so fine, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a rabbit, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears, and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon. It also vaguely resembles a fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb similar to a womb.
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will, creating force-fields of psychic energy, and being able to transform into any one of the other 492 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every type of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as Celebi.
Mew is an intelligent Pokémon, and will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It also acts very childish, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It laughs most of the time. It is attracted to lullabies, and will try to stay as close to the music as possible.
Reports found on Burned Mansion found in Cinnabar Island in the Kanto region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-run which had sighted Mew in Guyana, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most.
Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew.
Mew shares some traits with felines. It is also similar to a vertebrate embryo. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the recapitulation theory.
Mew's name may refer to its cat-like appearance, with "mew" being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word unique (myō), or the English word "mutant" (myūtanto).
