An absolute dream shiny has been obtained. Shiny Mew is just gorgeous. The blue in 3rd Gen is so light it almost becomes transparent.

I attended the Manchester Arena in 2003-4 to pick up a Mystery Mew for my FireRed version with my Dad and brother. This was the first 3rd Gen event I could go to so showing off the event one is really special to me. I always knew I’d get around to hunting this eventually and as I say in the video, I did start this only to be put off by the encounters. In retrospect it’s not really difficult at all. I did this while double hunting next to Steelix too.

Showing it off in Colosseum is I think was the main reason I hunted it now rather than later because I’ve been playing it a bit lately and just needed to see those sparkles in the 3D arena.

If you’re wondering how I got to Faraway Island, I did have to use an Action Replay supplied by a very good friend (seriously, they’re expensive nowadays!). Unfortunately, outside of glitches there’s no way to hunt this thing other than to use an AR. Please be understanding in the comments. It’s 2019, it doesn’t matter how people get event items. Yeah it’s cool to do stuff legitimately sometimes but at the end of the day, the result is the same. A shiny!

Thank you as always for watching. Good luck on the rest of your hunts!
