Keep in mind that Mew is Mythical and is usually very rare. Getting it is usually only possible by accepting it from specific giveaways or transferring one from a past generation to HOME. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Trainers are strongly urged to take advantage of this freebie while still active.

It is worth noting that this particular Mythical has a good gimmick where it can learn every TM in the game. As a result, some Trainers might find this Pokemon to be incredibly valuable for its versatility. This giveaway came from the recent Pokemon Presents, so let's look at what else has been revealed in this broadcast.
