What is the secret Mew code that players can use in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Revealed at the Pokemon Presents August 2023, the secret Mew code that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers can use to get the formidable beast in Paldea is - GETY0URMEW.

This code will remain active till Monday, September 18, 2023, at 2.59 pm UTC. The Mew that players will be able to redeem from this code will feature a random Tera Type in the game.

This is the first Mythical giveaway that Gen IX trainers have enjoyed ever since the game's release in November 2022. Furthermore, bringing Mew to fight the upcoming Mighty Mewtwo 7-star Tera Raid Battles will reportedly feature a special surprise.

If dataminers and rumors are to be believed, Mew will receive a significant boost to its HP and stats when facing Mewtwo in battle. This doesn't come as a surprise, given the storied history between the two and the icon, especially in Pokemon: The First Movie, also known as Mewtwo Strikes Back.

For those unaware of how to redeem these codes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, they can follow the below-mentioned steps:

• Launch the game and go into the in-game X menu
• Select the Poke Portal option and then the Mystery Gift option
• Choose 'Get With Code / Password'
• Type in the aforementioned code and enter it to receive the featured pocket monster

While trainers will require an internet connection to claim Mew with the code that has been provided, a Nintendo Switch Online paid membership is not needed. Mewtwo will arrive with the Psychic Tera Type from September 1, 2023, to September 17, 2023.
