Collector Insights

Mew is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its weaknesses include a Psychic-type attack that deals double damage. The card includes two attacks: Psywave, which deals 10 damage multiplied by the number of Energy cards attached to the defending Pokémon, and Devolution Beam, which allows the player to return the highest Stage Evolution card from an evolved Pokémon to its owner’s hand, removing status conditions. The card’s flavor text describes Mew as an elusive creature often regarded as a mirage due to its rarity. It was released in the Base set as part of the Wizards Black Star Promos series on July 1, 1999. The card is classified as a Promo rarity and is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori. Its color scheme aligns with the Psychic type, using a warm red-orange hue.

So rare that it is still said to be a mirage by many experts. Only a few people have seen it worldwide.
