The Mew glitch can be used with the enemy Ditto method to obtain all Gen 1 Pokémon (including Mew, naturally) at level 7.
Using Growl up to 6 times during the battle against the Pokémon whose Special stat is used to generate a Pokémon will lower the encountered Pokémon's level by 1 for each use, to a minimum of 1. Therefore, it is possible to get any Pokémon at level 1 using this glitch.
