The enchanted glade beyond the moon gate at the top of Fernwake Woods. The gate opens with an Expedition Permit, which is optional.
Clefairy #035

Dances in rings beneath the full moon. Lucky are those who stumble upon one.
Venonat #048
Bug Poison
Drawn to lantern light after dark. Its big eyes can spot a moving leaf from across the woods.
Mew #151
Psychic
A legend of the Moonlit Grove. Some say it's been watching the valley since before the first seed sprouted.
Hoothoot #163
Normal
Hoots on the same beat every night. The hamlet sets its clocks by it.

Finding Mew
Mew is the valley's only mythical Pokémon. It appears only at night (7:30 PM to 5:00 AM), only in the Moonlit Grove, always at level 20.
- Rest at home until nightfall, then walk up through the woods to the Grove.
- Mew's catch rate is 45, tied with Eevee for the lowest of any wild Pokémon. The throw ring also moves fastest for mythic Pokémon.
- Stack every bonus you can: a Great Ball, a tossed Moonfig (its favorite), an Excellent throw, and low HP. See Catching.
- The shrine's carvings hint at it. Read them by day and again at night.
Moonfigs grow here
The Grove's two bushes only grow Moonfigs, and they often drop a Moonfig seed too. Plant those seeds in the hamlet garden for a steady supply of full heals.
