Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: The best Mew moveset

Psychic

Mew is a Psychic-type Pokemon. This means that Psychic-type attacks used by Mew will receive a Same Type Attack Bonus. This will be Mew's main damaging move, and it may also lower the target's Special Defense. Since Mew has 100 base stats all across the board, any type of attack works, but the STAB of Psychic is too good to pass up.

Transform

Mew can learn any move, aside from its signature attacks, in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Its ability to use Transform is why many believe Ditto are failed Mew clones. This is a fun attack to have as it changes Mew into whatever Pokemon is battling across from it and copies its attacks. Using Transform can be extremely advantageous when it comes to strategy.

U-Turn

U-Turn is a Bug-type attack that will deal supereffective damage to Dark-types that Mew may have trouble dealing with. It also allows Mew to switch out of battle with another Pokemon in your party. This is used for setup purposes, especially when coupled with the final attack in the best moveset for Mew.

Thunder Wave

Thunder Wave can be taught to Mew via TM73. It doesn't do damage, but it does paralyze the opposing Pokemon. Mew can use this to slow down an opponent, then use U-Turn to let one of your other Pokemon join the battle that may have an easier time taking down whichever creature was paralyzed.
