Mesprit (Japanese: エムリット Emrit) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Along with Uxie and Azelf, Mesprit is a member of the lake guardians, the Sinnoh region's Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon trio. Mesprit is the bringer of emotion.
Biology
Mesprit is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel encrusted in them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which comprise the Red Chain. Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted in its forehead. Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying and return to the body at will. Legends say that a person that touches it will have their emotions completely drained away. It was shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that it can teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Though playful, it is a bit mischievous.
In the anime
Major appearances
Dawn saw the projected "soul" of Mesprit near Lake Verity in Following A Maiden Voyage!.
Mesprit physically debuted in The Needs of the Three!, where it and Uxie came to Lake Valor after Azelf was captured. However, they were also captured by J and Team Galactic, but beforehand, they used Future Sight, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In The Battle Finale of Legend!, after breaking from their control with the help of Dawn's Piplup and Cynthia's Garchomp, it helped stop Cyrus's plot to use Dialga and Palkia.

Trophy information
An Emotion Pokémon said to have taught humans emotions. Rumor is, if you touch Mesprit, you'll lose all emotions three days later. It sleeps at the base of Lake Verity, but once engaged in battle, it will rise from the water to fly around the Sinnoh region. Even if you see this Pokémon after your initial meeting, it'll try to flee battle, so catching it is quite a task.
Mesprit appears as a Spirit alongside Uxie and Azelf.

Trivia

- Mesprit shares its category with Kirlia and Indeedee. They are all known as the Emotion Pokémon.
- Mesprit is the only lake guardian not to be owned by Mysterial in Pokémon Battle Revolution when Pokémon data is used; it is used by Mysterial only when no Pokémon data is transferred into Pokémon Battle Revolution.
Origin
Mesprit is based on a spirit or a sprite and the color magenta. Mesprit and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Mesprit would be the Yasakani no Magatama, which embodies benevolence.
