Mew 1/18 · Southern Islands

Mew is Pokédex #151, generation 1 (Kanto). Mew is a Basic Psychic Pokémon with 30 HP.

Mew sits at 1/18 in Southern Islands, position 1 of 18. The next card is 2 Pidgeot. The set belongs to the Other series. It was released on July 31, 2001. The printed size is 18, and the checklist is the same length.

The attack Rainbow Wave lists no damage number. The cost is Psychic. Choose a type of Energy other than Colorless attached to Mew. This attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Pokémon of that type (including Benched Pokémon). Don't apply Weakness and Resistance. Weakness is Psychic ×2. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon's body is covered by fine hairs that can be seen only under a microscope."

Mew (#151) has 60 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 34 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Mew 8/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 30 HP. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Keiko Fukuyama illustrated this one. 59 other cards of Mew list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Keiko Fukuyama. I count 19 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Southern Islands set binder is where a full Southern Islands set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mew can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
