How to transfer Mew from the Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee

How to Transfer Mew from the Poké Ball Plus (Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! / Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!)

Read on below for instructions on transferring the Mythical Pokémon Mew from a Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!.

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.
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.

Verify that the Poké Ball Plus contains Mew.
1. Press and hold the control stick button on the Poké Ball Plus for a few seconds, then let go.
2. 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.)
3. The colored ring will flash about once per second if it contains a Mew that has not yet been transferred to a game.
Launch Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! from the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu.

- 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.
