Austin John’s Ultimate Pokémon Guides
Austin John Plays is your go-to YouTuber for everything Pokémon. From Pokémon Scarlet and Violet news, Shiny hunting, to making Sandwiches, he covers it all.
His latest video, “How to Get Shiny Mew in Pokemon Home from 3DS Pokemon Red & Blue (8F),” is a detailed guide. It shows how to snag a Shiny Mew from Gen I games. This helps players bring Mew to newer games like Scarlet and Violet.
Step-by-Step Shiny Mew Guide
This guide runs for 44 minutes. It teaches players to use glitches in the 3DS Red and Blue. The goal is to catch a Mew and make it Shiny. You must follow each step carefully. One wrong move, and you could lose your game data, as Austin John did.
The Journey for Shiny Mew
The process has some odd steps. You’ll run into MissingNo, evolve it into a Kangaskhan, catch a Pidgey with 233 current HP, and collect a list of specific items. According to Austin John, it can take 6 to 14 hours, similar to Shiny hunting. But, it’s rewarding. You can get as many Shiny Mews as you like.
Credits and How to Get Yours
At the video’s end, Austin John thanks TransgenderPride’s Reddit post from 2017. Their guide helped make this possible.
Thanks to Austin John’s video and the Reddit guide, anyone with 3DS Red and Blue can get their Shiny Mew. They can then transfer it to the newest Pokémon games.
