Want to know how to catch Mew in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee? The Mew location, if you want to complete your Pokedex, isn’t in the most obvious place and might require you to fork over your hard-earned cash…
No, this isn’t clickbait. If you’re aching to know how to catch Mew in Pokemon Let’s Go then you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re looking to complete your Pokedex by catching #151 or just want the legendary Pokemon for nostalgia’s stake, the Mew location in Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee and Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu is going to be high up on your priority list, no matter what.
First things first, there is no way to catch Mew through conventional means. Unlike Mewtwo in Cerulean Cave or Zapdos in the Power Plant and others in our Wild Legendaries guide, the legendary psychic Pokemon isn’t going to pop up out of nowhere. To get Mew, you’re going to need to buy (or already own) the Poke Ball Plus, the accessory that acts as a controller and a Poke Ball in-game.
If you don’t have one, you can buy them in a bundle with the Pokemon Let’s Go version of your choice or separately for $49.99/£44.99.
Now, before you’ve even reached the first Gym (and at any other time in the game) you can switch your Poke Ball Plus on and get Mew.
