As stated above, there’s only one way to get Mew in Pokémon: Let’s Go. In order to get Mew, you’ll need to purchase a peripheral known as the Poké Ball Plus. For more on what the Poké Ball Plus is and how to get one, be sure to check out our previous guide. In addition to being a cool accessory to have on hand while playing Pokémon: Let’s Go, purchasing the Poké Ball Plus gives you a free Mew in the game.
Note that if you were able to catch Mew in Pokémon GO, you won’t be able to transfer that Mew using the Go Park feature in Let’s Go (other non-transferable Pokémon include special event Pokémon like Birthday Hat Pikachu). You also can’t obtain Mew through normal gameplay in Pokémon: Let’s Go.
In the future, the official Pokémon website stated that “the ability to claim your gift of Mew may be discontinued at some point after the initial sales period of the Poké Ball Plus.” With the offer of Mew being limited to the Poké Ball Plus, and that offer being only for a set period of time, we highly recommend purchasing a Poké Ball Plus as soon as possible.

Once you have your Poké Ball Plus, you’ll need to connect it to your Pokémon: Let’s Go account (internet connection required). After connecting the Poké Ball Plus, you’ll be able to transfer your gifted Mew into the game. To redeem Mew, open up your Menu and select "Communicate" then choose the "Mystery Gifts" option. After that, you'll see a prompt to grab your gift from the Poké Ball Plus. Select this, then confirm to get Mew.
