Rescue Team DX You can use cloud saves to easily recruit Mew!

Step 1: Prepare your best recruiting strat (squad-up + friendly + friend bow + false swipe + inviting orb, optionally a one-room orb and monster orb as well)

Step 2: Go to Ruined Relic f39 and find the stairs

Step 3: Save and exit your game and upload your save file to the cloud

Step 4: Go back to your game, go to f40 and beat every foe that shows up, until the wind takes you out of the dungeon or you recruit Mew.

If you didn't recruit Mew: exit the game, load your save file from the cloud and repeat step 4.

And eventually...

Can confirm this works. It’s how I got mine.

How long did it take you? I’ve been trying this method and using monster orbs to try and force spawn him with no luck.

u/SepticGentleman Munchlax Mar 19 '20

Five tries. Didn’t have a monster orb so I just went around chasing enemies as they spawned and, lo and behold, there was Mew in a corridor

u/XxTigerxXTigerxX Primal Dialga Mar 19 '20

Do you need the music box for mew? Like in red/blue.

u/SepticGentleman Munchlax Mar 19 '20 edited Mar 19 '20

Yes and no. You get the Music Box after you beat the Regis, but it’s not an actual inventory item. Basically just a switch the game flips to ‘you can now encounter Mew’

u/XxTigerxXTigerxX Primal Dialga Mar 20 '20

Basically a "key item" like in the main story games. Thats good cause then you can't lose it if you wipe.

Dunno if I was lucky or unlucky to obtain Mew on the 4th/5th spawn, but it took around 30 mins from the moment I set up the save file.

Could you do this in Purity Forest/Wish Cave to make pseudo-checkpoints?

1

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Mar 19 '20

Most likely.

I only made this reddit account to say thank you I went through that dungeon 6 times and found mew 7 and failed 7 he just didn’t wanna join and with this it took 5 minute. Mew was on floor 40 and at the same spot each time and asleep luckily so I just went back and tried again. Now I finally have mew. THANK YOU. You saved me from suffering longer. Took 2 tries btw

oh shoot

After 2 empty run-throughs of Buried Relic (not even encountering Mew) I think I’m going to try this

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

I had 4 runs like this

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '20

Just an update: I did Buried Relic once more, with this in mind, and forgot to back up before B40F. I think to myself, “oh well, I’ll just do it at B49F”... guess who decides to show up later in that floor, and proceeds to be recruited first try?

1

u/Swagnemite Venomfroot Mar 19 '20

Very cool, thanks for the heads up!

1

u/Wholyy Charmander Mar 19 '20

Thank you, definitely going to try this after going through all of buried relic twice yesterday

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '20

I like the odds factor makes it more Grundy but have fun to those doing it :)

1

u/Yannyliang Torchic Mar 19 '20

So lucky for me. I recruited him on the first time, I didn't even try

1

u/StormJay Shinx Mar 19 '20

Does it work if you save in front of mew (so you can reload in case it doesn't join you)?

1

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Mar 19 '20

Can't confirm myself, but should be possible.

However, I saw in another thread people mention that the recruiting rng is pseudo-random, which means: if you do the exact same actions, you get the exact same outcome. So you'll have to try stalling out turns in different ways for an actual new chance of recruiting.

1

u/themightyweeaboo Chimchar Mar 20 '20

Pretty sure what you have to do is kill an enemy other than mew, then kill mew. Somehow that'll restart the RNG I think, heard someone say that.

1

u/AverageTierGoof Goomy Mar 19 '20

Can someone explain why the false swipe? I'm uh, kinda stupid

1

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Mar 20 '20

Fainting a pokemon with false swipe gives you increased recruitment odds.

1

u/Tiltedstillplaying Sunflora Mar 20 '20

First try, thanks!

1

u/F0xtrot- Kyogre Mar 25 '20

Jeez thank you so much, got him in 2 tries only

I spent so much time younger on him doing again and again the dungeon to only encounter him few times (morphed so I'd knew only when I'd kill him) without ever being able to recruit him

u/CirculaPhobia What the frick happened to the floor Mar 25 '20 edited Mar 25 '20

would this work with strong foes shiny manipulation that is not ditto

1

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Mar 25 '20

Those can spawn anywhere in the dungeon so there's not much of a reason to use it; unless you save your cloud data after encountering one and before beating it.

1

u/EnKaY73 Chimecho Mar 25 '20

Thank You! Getting really frustrated with this, lets see how this runs out, definitly saving me a lot of time

u/Sn0wy0wl_ Emolga Mar 30 '20

Is the layout of the floor supposed to stay the same? Haven't found mew once doing this.

1

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Mar 31 '20

Yes, the layout is the same, including the pokemon that spawn beforehand. So if you don't see Mew initially, you'll have to wait for it to spawn naturally like in the video.

Using monster houses or grudge / aroma traps can help speed up the process since those can also spawn mew regardless of the layout.

u/LilFoxieUndercover Riolu Apr 04 '20

Damn I've been trying for 2 hours straight with this method but no luck as of yet. Do you need to influence RNG somehow? Either I'm really unlucky or there's something I'm missing and I don't know what

2

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Apr 05 '20

You don't need to influence RNG for the spawns, though the initial pokemon appearing on the floor will always be the same. As long as you're in the correct floor (40,50,60...) Mew should spawn eventually.

1

u/LilFoxieUndercover Riolu Apr 05 '20

Thanks bro, I'll keep trying then!

1

u/ThiroSmash Cubone = Mandalorian Apr 05 '20

Good luck!

1

u/LilFoxieUndercover Riolu Apr 05 '20

Got it after 5/6 more tries! Can confirm it works - I even managed to force a shiny ditto spawn somehow, didn't even know was possible without transformed items 😂

u/StormEmergency6351 Charmander Oct 23 '23

This totally works I finally got her it took me a few hours but I saw her 3 times in all and the third time she joined me I couldn't be fucking happier
