Simple question really. When you first encounter Mespirit, it runs away and appears randomly in Sinnoh. What did you do? Decide to leave if until after you've defeated the elite four? Or try and catch it straight away.
The first time? Shoot, I don't remember....I usually try my best to capture a roaming legendary every time I see them. However, sometimes I don't have a pokemon that's fast enough to even cause damage, so I just chunk a ball and hope for a miracle.
In Diamond, I caught Mespirit after beating the Pokemon League. However, I still haven't bothered catching it in Platinum despite catching all 3 of the roaming Legendary Birds.
Im pretty sure I caught it before the E4 but I dont really remember. What I do remember though is it took me about half an hour or so just to catch it. >.>
After the Pokemon league. I had all the birds and everything going around before catching them all. I don't even know if I activated it before the Pokemon League.
I tackle challenges in order of increasing level when possible. Since Mesprit is at Lv50 and the Pokemon League are at Lv60-something, I went after Mesprit first.
It's Mesprit, not Mespirit. XD
I caught it before the Pokemon League.
I actually tracked it for months cause I kept SRing for it to be shiny.
Finally succeeded after like.. 2-3 months. :x
