Q&A

Bug (×2), Ghost (×2), Dark (×2). Resists Fighting, Psychic. Calculated from the gen 3 type chart (FireRed/LeafGreen).

It doesn't. Mew has no evolution in FireRed/LeafGreen.

Not in the wild. Mew can be neither caught nor obtained through evolution in FireRed/LeafGreen, only via event or trade from other versions.

Our take: Not legitimately. Mew was event-only in FR/LG. In a legitimate Nuzlocke it simply isn't available.
