Mew

Psychic

Best attacking moveset: Snarl and Psychic, worth 11.7 damage per second against a neutral target.

Best moveset

Mew can learn 350 combinations. Snarl with Psychic does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.

Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.

Best moveset against each type

Mew does not have one best moveset, it has 16. Which one wins depends on what you are attacking, because a move only gets its bonus against something weak to it. Best against Rock, Ice, Poison.
