Azelf and Uxie.
 
OK so Mesprit is different but these two are about the same. Ok I need to catch so I wonder how? HELP ME!!

Virtual Headache January 28th, 2008 12:13 PM

Which of those 3 are you talking about now, Mesprit?
You can see Mesprit's current location on the berry location map for the Poketch. You will need a Pokemon with mean look to make sure it doesn't run away once you encounter it.

GamerFreak January 28th, 2008 12:17 PM

In case you are talking about the other two, I'll tell you. Uxie can be found at Lake Acuity at level 50, and Azelf can be found in Lake Valor at level 50. These are moderately easy, so I would simply suggest Ultra Balls, and weaken them down to as low health points as possible.


Dark Destiny January 28th, 2008 12:19 PM

what they said
also
uxie is normally a wall
and azelf is used as a sweeper
mespirit is the inbetween

El Gofre January 28th, 2008 12:23 PM

Erm, just a quick note: Uxie and azelf are nowhere near the same. Uxie is a kick-ass wall, azelf a kick-ass sweeper. Mespirit is a general ok poke

EDIT: just seen the post above says the exact same thing :P

lostprophetsown January 28th, 2008 12:31 PM

you will be able to get mespirit easilly if there is a house near the route because you just enter and exit the refresh the poketech app and it will change keep doing it until he is there also make sure you have a pokemon with mean look or like a pokemon with arena trap and a paralysing pokemon and just keep timer ball-quick ball or ultra balling it so good luck

Pokefan48 January 28th, 2008 12:32 PM

Yeah I tried lowering health. IT DIDN'T WORK.

Oh and I am NOT talking about Mesprit.

GamerFreak January 28th, 2008 12:34 PM

You may also want to put an effect on it such as sleep, or paralyze, but sleep would be the best. This will make its capture easier as well.


El Gofre January 28th, 2008 12:35 PM

Crobat is the best. Mean look+Hypnosis+Toxic+Confuse ray is the ultimate catcher set. Mean look prevents running, Double status it with with confuse ray and either toxic or sleep, then timer ball it.

yes but i wouldnt use toxic or a status which damages every turn as about 4 times i killed it because of posion or burn because you cant catch it in time so id stick with sleep or paralyz

El Gofre January 28th, 2008 1:01 PM

Then hypnosis it, or rely on confusion to do the damage. Either way the equation for catch rate equation is effected by the number of status effects with confusion included in that list. seeing as a pokemon can be confused and given a regular status, both significantly increases your chances.

Darkgale January 28th, 2008 1:09 PM

Here, this is what i did, go between Valley Windworks and thr Rt. that is to the left of it and just keep alternating real quick until mersprit/cresselia are in that Rt. And for Uxie and Azelf, i just used false swipe with my weavile and dusk and timer balls after that. Funny how so many people forget how useful false swipe is =/.

Dialga450 January 28th, 2008 4:45 PM

They aren't that hard to catch.

Denuo January 28th, 2008 5:13 PM

Was having a go at Azelf last night after catching Uxie with no problems (Dusk Ball, 3rd/4th try at low HP No Status).

Seeing as it was late I gave up on Azelf (A lot harder) So I'll give it another try today.

Plus, I heard that Sleep and Paralyze increases catch rate more than toxic and poison.

Pokefan48 January 29th, 2008 2:56 PM

Never mind I caught 'em! But Mesprit is hard. I can do it though. Thank you all!

Faceless* January 29th, 2008 5:28 PM

They are all different stat-wise and move-wise

Mesprit : Balanced on stats, largest HP
Uxie : Greater on Endurance, largest Def/Sp.Def
Azelf : Greater on Causing Damage, largest Atk/Sp.Atk/Spd

I also believe each of these Elfs learn unique TM-based moves

Mesprit : Ice Beam/Blizzard
Uxie : Giga Drain/Solarbeam
Azelf : Flamethrower/Fire Blast

Most used, Azelf, Uxie is outclassed by Cresselia, so is Mesprit

Freezing and Sleeping add the most (10) to the catch rate, while Burning, Paralyzing, and Poisoning only add 5.

Faceless* January 29th, 2008 7:06 PM

No one's going to waste time freezing, use Spore with Breloom or Hypnosis with Bronzong

Volta. January 29th, 2008 7:24 PM

Of course not. I was being informative, but in terms of practicality, putting them to sleep is the easiest and most reliable way to go.

Arrmegedden January 29th, 2008 8:54 PM

use dusk balls when its weakened it took my me 45 balls then my neighbor caught it in one ball in tha same fight.

Denuo January 29th, 2008 9:38 PM

Just an update, I snagged him just with low health after he woke up. Dusk ball after about 25 tries. Just seems to be random. Great work on getting yours too Pokefan.

Sam

El Gofre January 30th, 2008 9:31 AM

It seems random, but it really isnt. Theres a large mathmatical formula dictating the catch ratio. Of course if you're unlucky (Like me) you end up the 1 in 100 that it doesnt catch :)

Volta. January 30th, 2008 5:46 PM

As mentioned, Dusk Balls at night are definately the way to go. They add the same catch rate as a Timer Ball after 40 turns, which is a big bonus.

mynameispokemon January 30th, 2008 5:50 PM

thats cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
