Mew is a ranged attacker and has more learnable moves than other Pokemon. Uniquely, it can also forget and learn moves again during battle–something other units can’t. Usually, when you select a skill for a Pokemon, the Pokemon can’t change it mid-battle. To get Mew, players will need to collect mural fragments. How these fragments are earned is currently unknown.
Accompanying Mew is a new map called Theia Sky Ruins Unearthed. It’s a floating arena with Legendary Pokemon to fight and will also host Legacy Trainer Showdowns–a new feature where players can fight against Trainers from various Pokemon titles, including Raihan and Leon from Pokemon Sword and Shield, as well as Korrina from Pokemon X and Y. All ranked and standard matches will be moved to Theia Sky Ruins starting September 2.
