Given how great mew's move pool is, and the amazing statsshehas, why does everyone just seem to run it as a stall mon? Is a sweeping mew completely unviable?
Also mew threadplz no crabhammer

I'll say it once, I'll say it again:
Mew can learn any moves that Move Tutors, TMs/HMs/, and Metronome/Mimic/Transform will allow.

Somebody get the gas, we've got another one...

Timid Mew with Nasty Plot + a good mix of special moves is one way you can look at it

So can Ditto. BTFO.

I guess it's a kind of "jack of all trades, master of none" situation. It can do support well, though.

People only use the stall sets because they're uncreative fucks. Mew can fill almost any role a team needs, just not quite as well as more specialized pokemon. Here are a few examples of other viable mews, although the physical one isn't that great.

They are not used because they are not viable in OU. Those sets are outclassed by other mons.
Namely Gardevoir for special sweepers and Medicham outclasses physical sets. You use Mew for his amazing movepool, his niche in OU is Will O Wisp.

Ask Smogon.

You want a sweeping Mew? Giveita 100 BP physical water move. Then it will be viable.
>>26795162
Literally what difference does 10 BP make from Aqua Tail
>>26793720
Also no, it's not unviable, but it's not an optimal use of Mew either, at least in higher tiers. If you want to use Mew as some sweeper, chances are there's something out there with better typing, speed, bulk, and battle results.
