Here are the ways Mew has been available in other Pokémon games:
* Events: Mew has been given out at special events, sometimes through special codes or Wi-Fi distributions.
* Special Versions: Some special editions of Pokémon games have included Mew as a pre-loaded Pokémon.
* Glitches: While not an official method, there have been glitches in certain games that allowed players to access Mew.
However, if you're looking for a rare Pokémon to catch in HeartGold, you can try your luck with:
* Ditto: Found in the Ilex Forest
* Unown: Found in various locations, each with a different letter form
* Shiny Pokémon: While any Pokémon can be Shiny, some are rarer than others.
Keep in mind that capturing any of these Pokémon requires patience and a bit of luck!
