Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie are the three legendary lake guardians introduced in Diamond and Pearl, catchable in Lake Valor, Verity, and Acuity respectively. Which did you prefer? How long did it take you to catch them? Did you use any on your team? |
I never used any of the little guys, but based on design alone I voted for Azelf. I am a huge fan of blue Pokemon so if any legendary trio has a blue-colored member, it's naturally the one I love first.
Also, it's a very powerful attacker, which contrasts Uxie's defensive and Mesprit's mixed roles. |
I like Uxie. I actually did competitive battling a bit in gen IV and Uxie was my Stealth Rock lead, haha. It's a fun Pokemon to use and I like its defense. Plus, seeing its eyes wipe your memory. Talk about scary awesome.
|
I usually prefer blue legendaries as well.
However I do like Azelf for more reasons. It's design is my favorite. I reminds me of Mew, it doesnt look dangerous like Mesprit does or too passive like Uxie. It looks cute and kind but potentionally, also your biggest nightmare. Also it represents willpower which is my favorite amongst willpower, emotion and knowledge. |
Azelf because I like the colour blue and he's the only one I've actually used.
|
Mesprit is my favourite of the three. Uxie I have never liked, it's design throws me off straight away. Azelf I really like, but not as much as Mesprit. Mesprit looks the most badass and has a good design, which is what I look for in Legendary Pokemon.
|
I love Azelf, used to use it a lot in all of my teams. A great lead in competitive battle.
The one I dislike the most is Mesprit, I think that's the one that was roaming and took forever to catch iirc? That was so annoying. Uxie is cute also, looks so sleepy :3 |
Aw, Uxie gets no love.
I like Mesprit the most because of the color scheme and all, although I do think that Azelf has the best design. Mesprit's weird hairdo just isn't all that appealing to me haha. |
I voted for Azelf only because i like the color blue and it reminds me of myself the most! Not at all because Mesprit was a pain to catch lol. I dont know why people dont love Uxie! Its got that great legend about its eyes! I wanna see its eyes haha! Plus its cute and sleepy haha. I dont ever use them on my teams because i dont use any legends or pseudo legends on my teams but theyre still awesome pokemon! ^_^
|
I've caught all three of them at one point, but I don't believe I've ever used them much in-game, aside from perhaps Azelf and Mesprit.
In terms of favorites, competitively, I would say I like Azelf better. It's got amazing Speed, if I'm not mistaken, and it also has access to some moves which we might find to be rather helpful, such as Stealth Rock, U-Turn, and so forth. Other two members of the trio, in comparison, aren't that great, as unfortunate as it may sound. Design-wise, my favorite would likely have to be Uxie. Its color palettes consist of light blue, grey, and yellow, which, at least in my eyes, seem to complement each other quite beautifully. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have felt the same about for this Pokémon. Second is definitely Mesprit. |
As with the majority above, Azelf is my pick for favorite in terms of both design and usability. It gets Nasty Plot, which allows it to hit like a tanker truck if it boosts up. Mesprit's stats are just nothing more than averagely rounded while Uxie is underwhelming (but at least gets Memento). So yeah, Azelf is my clear cut pick of them, I may have used it near the end of the game once or twice before.
|
Azelf would be my choice. I used it a lot back in D/P/Pt games in the battle tower since it's offensive oriented.
|
Despite Uxie being more like 'me', I prefer Azelf of the three mainly because of aesthetics. It doesn't have a super weird head like the other two, and blue is a colour I like (lmao).
|
Right away I'd have to say Mespirit is my favorite. I adore pink Pokemon and tend to be super biased towards them, so. Also, being the bringer of emotion, I feel I could relate to Mespirit much more than the other two. Bulbapedia also describes it as "playful, but a bit mischievous" which is also totally me. XD
I haven't actually used any of the trio on my teams yet, though! In game OR competitive which is so bizarre since D/P/Pt are my favorite Pokemon games. Well, that will be changing cause they definitely have potential. x3 |
I love the lake trio. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Azelf. I love Azelf's design (even though they're all so similar) and I caught it first. I used it during my first playthrough too so it has sentimental value for me lmao.
I like all three though. |
I love all 3 of them. Mesprit is my favorite. It's so cute. Azelf is awesome as well since it's a blue legendary. c:
|
I like Azelfs design however i never used him on my team.

revived Sheep's thread Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie are the three legendary lake guardians introduced in Diamond and Pearl, catchable in Lake Valor, Verity, and Acuity respectively. Which did you prefer? How long did it take you to catch them? Did you use any on your team? Did you like places where they were put? I caught all except for Mesprit who is roaming around Johto freely. As for the lakes, I love those places, so serene and stuff :D |
I literally did not care about them as Pokémon lmao. I liked their story, especially in Platinum. I liked their backstory. I like their designs. But not once did I use them for anything haha.
|
I loved these three actually. There theme is a killer (one of my favourites) and I quite like the different aspects of humanity that they represent. The one I feel most like me would probably be Uxie, but my favourite of the three is definitely Azelf.
|
Oh I loved them, but they were a pain to catch, haha ugh. And yeah, they had a really great backstory and role in the game, serving as emotions, paving the way for the legendary pokemon of time and space.. but yeah.
From the trio, my favourite pokemon would have to be Mesprit because it has such fabulous dreadlocks.. and its stats are pretty well rounded, so you can do almost anything with it! |
I loved them so much! They were just so cute and i wanted each one.
Now let me not put this lightly they were a pain to catch i mean just so tough! So dusk ball, dusk ball, dusk ball, ultra ball, ultra ball, great ball, pokeball... Oops out of pokeballs gotta reboot the game again! XD it was not fun! Now Mesprit was something just terrible even when i caught it it drove me crazy! Fly, fly, fly, bike, bike, fly haha it was like Latias all over again but when i did find id id chuck quick balls! Never used something to stop it from fleeing but one day i threw just a normal pokeball with this Mesprit full health and i caught it! I was so happy and then im like...i spent all that time looking for this guy and i could have just got it with a pokeball yyyyyyyyyy? It kinda drove me crazy but im glad i didnt spend as much time as some others may have and im really glad i didnt wimp out and use a masterball i was pretty close to that once lol. My favorite of the trio is Azelf though because of his blue head and the triangle shape just makes him look appealing you can tell which ones they are realky just from their designs and what Azelf stands for always made him a favorite for me! I dont understand how anyone could love this little trio :D |
I loved them! They were really difficult to catch too, thank goodness for Dusk Balls because those saved my behind more times than I can count. xD;;
Azelf is probably my favorite since the blues go together really well, also love Mesprit but that blue clashes with the pink in some images and that tends to bother me a little (looks especially weird in the 3D model). :( But overall the lake guardians were really challenging to capture and had an awesome theme song to boot. Guess that's one good thing about me taking ages to catch them, can listen to the song for ages?? Haha. |
I never really caught any of them but they all are adorable and have unique strategies based on their different stat spreads. Of the three, my fave is Azelf (because blue Pokemon) but that's not to say all three are good on their own, and why they're one of my fave legendary trios out there.
|
I caught them all when I completed the Pokédex but I never really cared about them - I have never used them or intended to use them haha. They're kind of cool designs I guess but I just don't like legendaries in general and it's especially ruined by them being so similar to each other with nothing interesting or unique to say about the trio :(
