Psychic's greater damage output allows Mew to pressure foes like Kommo-o and Nidoqueen better when unboosted, and hits Calm Mind Galarian Slowbro significantly harder than a Nasty Plot-boosted Psyshock can. Psyshock should only be opted for to break through Chansey and Assault Vest Galarian Slowbro, and it also has the bonus of OHKOing Nihilego. Flamethrower allows Mew to break past Assault Vest Tangrowth and Steel-types like Scizor and Aegislash. Giga Drain alongside a Colbur Berry allows Mew to survive a Knock Off from Krookodile and OHKO it after a Nasty Plot boost. Colbur Berry also helps survive a Darkest Lariat from Zarude and OHKO back with Flamethrower. Giga Drain is also useful for OHKOing Rhyperior, Starmie, and Gastrodon, while also letting it break through Quagsire more easily. Vacuum Wave lets Mew prevent a weakened Zarude and Choice Scarf Krookodile and Diggersby from revenge killing it; however, it is extremely weak without a boost. If running Vacuum Wave, then Lum Berry should be the item of choice, allowing Mew to avoid being crippled by status ailments if it sets up on foes like Amoonguss or Rotom-H. Soft-Boiled can be considered in the last slot to give Mew more longevity and let it take trades more aggressively, but the extra coverage option is generally preferred.
Mew fits primarily on offense teams that appreciate its wallbreaking power alongside great coverage to work around and remove traditional checks like Krookodile and Zarude. Mew has an average Speed tier that leaves it vulnerable to being revenge killed by foes like Keldeo and Lycanroc-D, so Sticky Web users like Slurpuff and Araquanid make for great partners to alleviate this. Hazards are key to helping Mew break through foes like Assault Vest Tangrowth and Aegislash reliably, so setters like Krookodile and Kommo-o are mandatory. Both can also help check Ghost-types like Aegislash and Chandelure for Mew. Other wallbreakers like Buzzwole, Thundurus-T, and Azumarill can help break through walls like Chansey, Umbreon, and Celesteela for Mew to clean more easily late-game. Late-game cleaners such as Lycanroc-D and Meteor Beam Nihilego appreciate Mew being able to remove foes like Scizor and Aegislash. In return, they can help pressure faster foes like Noivern, Thundurus, and Salamence that threaten to revenge kill Mew if it has been weakened. Pivots like Rotom-W and Thundurus can bring Mew in against foes like Kommo-o and Amoonguss to set up a Nasty Plot.
