Catch Mesprit in Pokémon Platinum by using Mean Look to prevent it from fleeing. Learn the best strategy to battle this legendary Pokémon.

To effectively catch Mesprit in Pokémon Platinum, you can employ a strategy that involves using a Pokémon with the move Mean Look as the first Pokémon in your party. This Pokémon should preferably be above level 40; a level 42 Golbat is suggested.

Once the Pokémon with Mean Look initiates the battle, Mesprit will be unable to escape as long as that specific Pokémon remains in the fight. If you switch out your lead Pokémon or if it faints, Mesprit will regain its ability to flee.

Utilizing this tactic makes the battle similar to encountering Azelf and Uxie. It is recommended to have a large quantity of Ultra Balls ready for the capture attempt.

Tips
  • Ensure the Pokémon with Mean Look stays in battle to keep Mesprit from fleeing.
  • Prepare a substantial number of Ultra Balls before engaging Mesprit.
  • Consider the level of your lead Pokémon; above level 40 is advised.
