Question

Why does Team Rocket use such weak Pokemon? I thought they were criminals.

Top Answerer

The grunts are meant to use weak Pokemon because they're just mere grunts. If everyone in Team Rocket was strong, that would present a real problem for the player.

Question

How do I do the Mew glitch?

Community Answer

I suggest watching a video on how to do it. In Pokémon Yellow you can only get 1 Mew from glitches. This glitch involves not already winning against the trainer with a level 17 Slowpoke above Cerulean City (which means if you have already, you can’t do it). You also need an Abra to teleport.
