In 2018, this Special Research was initially presented. Catching Mew is possible after completing this Special Research. There are 8 steps total, each with 3 jobs. Players still lament their inability to complete it, nonetheless, five years after its release. This is thanks to the fifth phase, which calls for players to catch the Ditto.

Pokemon Go makes it extra challenging to catch Ditto.
