How do we treat this again?
For game mechanics, Mew can learn any TM, HM, or Tutor move that's not group specific (like Draco Meteor, Sacred Sword, Blast Burn, etc.). But going from the lore, it implies that Mew's genes have the DNA of all Pokémon (with obvious unnamed exceptions) and that it can learn any move or technique (Pokédex uses technique for some reason) due to that. Mew in lore has never been captured canonically, so it hasn't been taught TMs and HMs. Should we treat Mew like what we do for Mirage Mewtwo, minus abilities, specific Pokémon traits, and without the information of other Legendaries? I should've just said should Mew have every move at its disposal. This wouldn't transfer to Mewtwo, btw. Mewtwo's altered genes made it different from Mew's all inclusive genes, which is why it can't learn every move and why it can't Transform.
