Strategy Overview
Mew plays the role of a fast suicide lead on hyper offense teams thanks to its good Speed tier and support movepool. It is very potent in setting both Stealth Rock and Spikes against typical balance teams and then using Misty Explosion to prevent removal of either. Nevertheless, due to the ubiquity of Heavy-Duty Boots and Defog, Mew's impact in any given match can be negated as early as the teambuilder. It also faces stiff competition from other dedicated leads that can provide more for their team such as Sticky Web Slurpuff and Tailwind Aerodactyl.
