Mesprit *pulls out hair*
Are there any suggestions on how to catch Mesprit?
I've tried Ultra Balls, Great Balls, Pokeballs, Quick Balls I'm wondering, though... I caught Uxie and Azelf and got the National Dex. Would I be able to bring in a Wobbuffet, stick it in the lead spot, and make the Mesprit stay put? |
Yes..you would..
Its the best solution...provided Wubbofett can handle its attacks. |
I'll give that a shot, but Mesprit is close so I'll try once more before I fly down to Pal Park.
Wow...Did I say Mesprit was close? No, it just moved at 5000 miles per hour away from me as I was getting close to it. If it weren't for me wanting something even more rare than Mesprit, I'd use my Masterball. |
I recommend using a high levelled Crobat. That's what I was using. Then go to a place between two routes and keep switching routes by stepping across, this cuts down so much time. If you're playing at night, try Dusk Balls. Otherwise, Ultra Balls will do.
You could also try putting it to sleep the first time (It will then run) after putting it on low health. Then, when you see it again, it will already be asleep and on low health, ready for you to spasm out with Ultra Balls etc, until it wakes. |
I didn't realize damage/conditions carry over from battle to battle. I was just ball-tossing (for the record, I've never seen the legendary dogs, latias, or latios in all my 200+ hours of Pokemon, so I'm fairly new to this hunt thing)

The Pokemon would be exactly the same as you left it last. Kinda stupid and illogical, but it's like that. Sleep is the best for getting it. Don't use your MB as well, otherwise you'll have to go through this with Cresslia again, and that's harder to catch. |
What you do is stay at an area where the route changes, go back and forth so Mesprit moves. Once Mesprit gets in the are of your route just go get him. I did this while trying to hatch and egg at the daycare. :D

I went to bed, but here's my story:
After learning I can damage it, I dropped three Close Combats on it with Infernape, knowing it wouldn't be effective. If I remember correctly, Mesprit is in the red zone with about as much health as it can have in the red zone. My plan is to use a Mach Punch to get it lower, and then try Hypnosis or Grasswhistle. But it's exam week and I have a group study thing for this German language I don't speak but am expected to understand fairly thoroughly, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to catch this thing. *edit* Of all the legendaries in Diamond and Pearl, is Cresselia the only one that warrants the use of the Master Ball? I still have mine on Sapphire, and I have Rayquaza already transfered over to Leaf Green. Unless there is another reason to keep it, I have few qualms about using it on Mesprit. |
As an insane man with much patience, I recommended you use Pokeballs.
They do work. Just about half as well. And when they finally do work, you get bragging rights. Make sure to damage it as much as possible. |
I used my gengar and used mean look then caught it with a great ball :P
|
I don't want to use Gengar because it's Poison type makes it weak to Psychic attacks.
I think I know what I'm doing when I get home, though (taking a break from studying at the library). - Catch a Sableye in Sapphire - Trade it to Leaf Green - Level it with the Exp. Share until it learns Mean Look - Pal Park it into Pearl - Mean Look Mesprit in the face - Catch it I noticed that the Mirage pokes know the last four moves they would learn by natural leveling. So Mesprit will know Confusion and Future Sight, both of which Sableye is immune to. Charm isn't going to matter, and Lucky Chant will be stopping critical hits that I won't be trying to dish out anyway. I just have to make sure Sableye moves first. Maybe I can Stun Spore Mesprit. |

you can't get wobbetfett before you get the national Pokedex, and I think that you have to catch Mespirt :t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
I've got my Sableye on it. For some reason, Future Sight hits Dark Pokemon. Personally, I find that preposterous, but whatever, I potion through it. Anyway, I'm throwing balls like a pitching machine and I haven't had more than two bobs before Mesprit broke free. But I have quite a few, and worst comes to worst, I'll be reloading and trying again.
Well, the use of Sableye was very nice against Mesprit, since I only had to potion once every two or three Future Sight hits. However, I am reloading. I used - 15 Great Balls 15 Ultra Balls 15 Pokeballs 5 Heal Balls 10 Dusk Balls 10 Timer Balls 10 Quick Balls 1 Premier Ball 81 balls in total, with only two of them getting three bobs. Needless to say, I'm livid. *edit* I reloaded, caught up to it, threw four Quick Balls after the Mean Look, and the fourth one got it. Computer-generated luck is one of the greatest mysteries of the world. |
I prefer to use paralysis because it wont wear off like sleep. Then I just used the Golbat with Mean Look and used the Golbat to weaken it.
|
Speaking of Mesprit, do I need to capture Azelf and Uxie to complete the Sinnoh dex?

Seeing them is enough in these games, and I'm fairly certain that you "see" them when you release them from Galactic's control. Or not, in which case you wouldn't have to catch them, but you get much props from others when you do. |

All in all, I'm probably just gonna put it to sleep with Gengar then switch in a Gyarados and use dragon rage a few times till it gets in the red. |

Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf suck anyway, don't waste your time.

My use of Sableye worked really well. Future Sight still hits, but I kept a few Hyper Potions on me. Get it in the red with whatever you can, and when the time comes, use Sableye's Mean Look and sit there and watch it struggle.
I used Paralysis over Sleep as well. Mostly because the pokes that can use both Mean Look and Hypnosis are part Poison, which is begging for, say, a Confusion/Future Sight double-whammy KO or something along those lines. |
Well if your trying to find it, just chase it, but don't use fly, that will make Mesprit teleport to a random location, so, just run through the cities and routes, and don't use your bike, Mesprit will travel faster if you use your bike, so only use it if you have to. It took me about a minute and 30 seconds to find it just by running, and using my bike twice to get on top of sand slopes. But when it comes down to catching it, thats your call, I just migrated 6 Pokemon from my emerald with each of them holding masterballs, so I used a masterball on it! ^^ Also, this goes for the same with Creselia too, also to make this much easier, get the Poke'Tech APP called the Marking Map, which can be obtained at the Poke Tech Company in Jubilife City. So, I hope this helps you a lot. ^_^
