Pokemon GO HOW TO CATCH MEWTWO? 6 Awesome Tips As the famous Pokemon motto goes, "You gotta catch 'em all!" But for some "Pokemon Go" fans, they're focused on catching some of the more elusive and legendary little monsters, like the notoriously hard-to-catch Ditto, Mew, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres from the Pokemon games of yore (aka, the '90s). So, can you catch Mew in "Pokemon Go"? A YouTube user named NesstendoYT posted a video in which he shows how he allegedly found Mew, as well as other rare Pokemon while data-mining the game (that means he went deep into the code infrastructure of the game), but don't get too excited just yet — "Pokemon Go" creator Niantic Labs has yet to confirm this information.
"Mew is in the game, which was a surprise," NesstendoYT claims in the video, while highlighting the text of the "Pokemon Go" code. "They may not be obtainable, but there's data for them in the game's file," the Youtuber continued. When, where, and how Mew can be caught in a Pokeball is still unknown, but Niantic Labs has stated that once the game's servers are finally stabilized, there will be bi-weekly updates to the game, according to Game Informer. "...We treat it as an ever-evolving game," Niantic CEO John Hanke said in the interview with Game Informer. "It’s not something that just sort of minted and then issued on launch day and not changed." In the interview, he also promised more depth to Pokestops and gyms, but updates could also include a Mew or Mewtwo — after all, Mewtwo appeared in the "Pokemon Go" trailer.
