Although it tends to underperform defensively due to the presence of dangerous threats such as Aegislash as well as competition with other Spikers like Skarmory, Mew still has great bulk for the tier and can sport a good amount of utility for teams with entry hazard setting or removal. Mew can easily set Spikes against foes such as Buzzwole and Skarmory, and it can even set the hazard against offensive threats such as Mega Latias and Rotom-Wash. Mew can also switch into and remove entry hazards against Skarmory and Clefable with Defog. Will-O-Wisp allows Mew to cripple wallbreakers such as Bisharp and Scizor. In a pinch, Will-O-Wisp can also be used to prevent faster threats like Zeraora and Iron Boulder from causing havoc. Knock Off has good synergy with Spikes to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from threats like Slowbro, Iron Moth, and Zeraora while still being able to punish Choice-locked wallbreakers such as Keldeo and Hydreigon. Psychic allows Mew to immediately pressure threats like Iron Moth, Amoonguss, and Mega Venusaur, while Night Shade can provide consistent damage into threats such as Celesteela. Mew's EV spread is invested to outrun Adamant Choice Band Buzzwole, but it is flexible enough to run slower spreads like 16 Speed EVs to just outrun Bisharp. Mew best fits on balance teams looking to find a valuable role compression option that can set or control entry hazards while still blanket checking a ton of threats, such as Buzzwole and Iron Boulder, which helps to enable teammates such as Mienshao, Scizor, and Iron Moth. Common pivots such as Rotom-Wash and Victini can easily force Mew in and pivot out to checks such as Aegislash, so partners that can block or punish their pivoting such as Swampert and Zeraora as well as Rocky Helmet users like Clefable and Rotom-Wash are appreciated. Mew hates offensive Dark-types like Lokix, Hydreigon, and Tyranitar even if it can punish them, so it enjoys additional partners like Mienshao and Keldeo to force them out. Aegislash is a big roadblock for Mew, so pairing it up with Iron Moth and Bisharp is great for it; in return, Mew can harass their common checks such as Swampert and Mega Venusaur. Spikes Mew can also pair nicely with Stealth Rock users like Clefable, and Hippowdon to overwhelm entry hazard removers such as Excadrill and Rotom-Wash. Partners that can take advantage of Rotom-Wash's attempts to use Defog, such as Bisharp, also are valuable to Mew in order to let it set Spikes freely.
