Many of the Pokemon series’ legendary and mythical Pokemon have been implemented into Pokemon GO. With the Kanto region being from the first generation, players are able to catch every single Pokemon from this region, including the rarer ones.
One of the rarest Kanto Pokemon in Pokemon GO is Mew, the first mythical Pokemon to ever appear. While players can’t encounter Mew in the wild normally or fight it in raids, players are still able to get the chance to capture one.
Mew is a pure Psychic-type Pokemon, meaning that it is weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type moves. It also resists damage from Fighting and Psychic-type moves. While it cannot currently be found in its shiny form, its shiny form will be made available after the Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto Event begins.

Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto
On Saturday, February 20th, Pokemon GO players will be able to participate in the Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto Event. This event will introduce the rest of the shiny Pokemon from the Kanto region and offer players many valuable encounters and rewards for participating.
The majority of the event’s festivities and tasks will be locked behind a ticketed paywall that players can purchase in the in-game Pokemon GO store. One of these perks from buying a ticket includes a special research task line that is meant to be completed over a long series of time. This means that players do not have to complete it all in one day like many of the other parts of the event.
As players can probably guess, the end of this special research task line will give players an encounter with Mew. This Mew however is special due to it being a shiny Mew, making it far rarer than a normal Mew obtained by any other means.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS.
