This hazelnut mouse
not sure what hazelnut has to do with Mew, but maybe this is flying over my head made a name for itself in the current metagame of OU, due to this demonic set. Cosmic Power turns Mew into a deadly and reliable setup sweeper in the lategame, when Pokemon like Weavile, Blacephalon, and Dragapult are removed
or crippled beforehand.
I would also mention faster Toxic users, specifically Toxic Tornadus-T, and Trick users, like Tapu Fini and Victini. Stored Power hits most of the tier except for Steel- and Dark-types for neutral damage and turns into a great BP move after the use of some Cosmic Powers.
I would mainly focus on Dark-types here, as Taunt Mew is able to get past most Steel-types (and explaining which types resist Psychic is fluff). Soft-Boiled in conjunction with Leftovers give Mew a reliable form of recovery. It's probably not necessary to explicitly mention this. Taunt is for disrupting status such as Toxic from Landorus-T
and Heatran and prevents Toxapex' Haze. Body Press is an alternative and hits
Assault Vest Melmetal, Heatran Dark-types like Weavile, Hydreigon and Bisharp for super effective damage.
Taunt Mew can deal with most Steel-types anyway; Body Press mainly targets the Dark-types that otherwise wall it. Mew appreciates the removal of Dark- and Ghost-types so Tapu Koko, Urshifu-R, and Weavile make for good partners to remove Weavile, Blacephalon, and Dragapult. Tapu Koko can also take on Corviknight for Mew. Tapu Koko and Urshifu-R can also generate momentum with U-turn for Mew to bring it in safely. Landorus-T is appreciated, as it can set Stealth Rocks to make Mews sweep easier in the lategame and with Knock Off it can remove items such as Leftovers from Corviknight and Heatran. This part is a bit generic, as any Pokemon appreciates pivoting, Stealth Rock and Knock Off support, and Corviknight and Heatran aren't much of an issue for Mew regardless. What partners definitely should be mentioned here, however, are Flame Body Heatran and Baneful Bunker (or Toxic (Spikes)) Toxapex, as getting opposing Weavile (by far the most prominent Dark-type) burned or poisoned means it can't stop Taunt Mew any longer long-term. Toxapex is also a great teammate for Mew, as Dragapult and Blacephalon dislike Toxic Spikes and it helps
widdling whittling down the respective Ghost-types.
