BOSS: Mesprit

Learn how to defeat Mesprit, a Psychic type boss, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Discover its weaknesses and what happens after the battle.

Mesprit is a Psychic type Pokémon. It is weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost type moves. Dark type moves will make you immune to Mesprit's Psychic moves, which include Confusion and Future Sight. Mesprit's Future Sight attack deals a fixed 30 damage. Confusion can be powerful if you are a Poison or Fighting type. If you have trouble, consider using a Sleep Seed.

After defeating Mesprit, you convince it that you are not the thief of the Time Gears. Grovyle then reveals himself, having waited for you to weaken yourselves. He easily overpowers your team and steals the Time Gear. Remember that where a Time Gear is stolen, time stops.

Back at Wigglytuff's Guild, the team discusses the next steps. Uxie and Mesprit are part of a legendary trio with Azelf. Dusknoir asks Bidoof for a crystal from Crystal Cave, which you receive. Using the crystal, you experience a vision of Grovyle stealing a Time Gear from Azelf. You decide to act on this vision, believing it to be a future event, and prepare to go to Crystal Cave.
