How to Transfer Mew from the Poké Ball Plus (Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!/Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!)
Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model
In this article, you'll learn how to transfer the Mythical Pokémon Mew from a Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!.
Important
- If you transfer Mew to your game, then delete the save file - you will also delete Mew. You will not be able to get Mew again on a new game from the same Poké Ball Plus. Please consider this before deleting or restarting your game.
- Mew can only be transferred one time, into one copy of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!.
- Once it has been transferred to a game, it will no longer be available on the Poké Ball Plus to transfer again to a different game.
Before you start
- The option to transfer Mew becomes available after you have battled your Rival for the first time. Before then, the Communicate menu option will be grayed out.
- An Internet connection is required to receive Mew.
Complete these steps
- Verify that the Poké Ball Plus contains Mew.
- Press and hold the control stick button on the Poké Ball Plus for a few seconds, then let go.
- The ring around the control stick button will light up as a pink/purple color and make a sound like Mew laughing. (You can also shake the Poké Ball Plus to hear Mew’s voice.)
- The colored ring will flash about once per second if it contains a Mew that has not yet been transferred to a game.
- Start Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! from the HOME Menu.
- Use the Poké Ball Plus as your in-game controller.
- Press the Top Button on the Poké Ball Plus during gameplay to access the in-game menu.
- Select Communicate.
- Select Mystery Gifts.
- Select Get with a Poké Ball Plus.
- This option will only appear when you are using the Poké Ball Plus as your in-game controller.
- You will see a message that says: “A Pokémon is in your Poké Ball Plus. It’s a present for you!” Select Yes twice to connect to the Internet and receive the Pokémon.
- Once you have received a gift, it will be in your Pokémon Box and you can add it to your party.
- To change Pokémon in your party, press the X Button to open the in-game menu, then Party. Select Open Pokémon Box to see and manage the Pokémon you’ve collected.
