Catching the Lake Guardians

Now that the events in Mt. Coronet and Spear Pillar is over, and Team Galactic is utterly destroyed and finally out of the way, the Lake guardians will wait for you in the cavern of their respective lake:

When you talk to Azelf and Uxie, they will immediately battle you. But Mesprit won't, unlike the rest.

As all 3 are pure Template:Type2 Pokemon, Template:Type2, Template:Type2 and Template:Type2 moves are super effective, while Template:Type2 moves are not very effective. Bring Pokemon with those moves. All 3 are at Level 50, so be careful -- their attacks can deal a lot of damage.

You can just proceed on without catching them, but why would you reject their "invitation"?

Catching Mesprit

File:Lake Mesprit.png
Mesprit in Verity Cavern

Go to Lake Verity. Surf to the middle of the lake and enter Verity Cavern. Talk to Mesprit and get ready for a battle..... but suddenly a picture of Mesprit pops out, then Mesprit disappears! Professor Rowan comes in and says that you have tried to do what he asked you to do, but Mesprit doesn't provide you any answer, and Mesprit wants to "play with you." He also tells you that you can track Mesprit down with the Poketch App Marking Map. (He will be surprised if you don't have the Marking Map, and tells you to visit Poketch Company in Jubilife City) Mesprit will be considered as a seen Pokemon in your PokeDex.

Make sure that you have your first Pokemon under Level 50, buy a lot of Quick Balls and Repels before proceeding to catch Mesprit.

Now Mesprit roams in Sinnoh. It can appear on almost every route, and also at the Valley Windworks and Fuego Ironworks. When you get to another place, it will teleport to another place too. Two of the best places to "wait" for Mesprit to show up are Route 205 and Valley Windworks. Run back and forth between the boundary of these two places until you and Mesprit are in the same place. Once Mesprit is in the same place as you, use a Repel, save your game, and set a Pokemon at or under Level 50 as your first Pokemon. Then, go inside the tall grass and run around until Mesprit appears.

Apply the same strategy as the one you used to catch Dialga/Palkia. After your first move, Mesprit will escape unless your Pokemon used Mean Look or other similar moves that prevent escaping. All damages and status ailments will remain on Mesprit even it escapes, though.

When Mesprit is damaged enough (i.e. HP bar is in red), the next time you encounter Mesprit, start throwing Quick Balls without hesitating. Since you only have the first turn as your only chance in an encounter, Quick Balls are your best choice, but they'll not surely capture it -- you may need to waste 10, 20, 30 or even more if you're really unlucky. Be very patient, and you'll ultimately succeed.

Or, if you decide to prevent it from escaping, throw Ultra Balls (or Dusk Balls if playing at night) instead. You may also consider about using your Master Ball, but there will be another roaming Pokemon for you to catch after you completed the main storyline. You should save this precious ball for that one.

Catching Azelf

File:Lake Azelf.png
Azelf in Valor Cavern

Make sure that you buy a lot of Dusk Balls before proceeding.

Go to Lake Valor. You will find that the lake is restored. Surf to the southeast of the lake to collect TM25 (Thunder), and then surf again to the middle and enter Valor Cavern.

Make sure that you heal your Pokemon and save your game before proceeding!

Now talk to Azelf. It will actually battle you— right here, right now, no running.

Apply the same strategy as the one you used to catch Dialga/Palkia. As you are inside a cave, Dusk Balls are your best and only choice, but they'll not surely capture it -- you may also need to waste 10, 20, 30 or even more if you're really unlucky. Be patient and you will finally succeed.

Azelf is more offensive. Its attacks hurt more, so watch out!

Catching Uxie

Uxie in Acuity Cavern

Make sure that you buy a lot of Dusk Balls before proceeding.

Go to Lake Acuity. Surf to the middle of the lake and enter Acuity Cavern.

Make sure that you heal your Pokemon and save your game before proceeding!

Now talk to Uxie. It will also battle you right here and right now -- no running.

Again, apply the same strategy as the one you used to catch Dialga/Palkia. As you are inside a cave, Dusk Balls are your best and only choice, but they'll not surely capture it -- you may need to waste 10, 20, 30 or even more if you're really unlucky. Be very patient, and you'll finally succeed.

Uxie is more defensive. Its attacks hurt less, but you still need to be careful.

Hotel Grand Lake

Head east from Seven Stars Restaurant, Hotel Grand Lake. There was a man that blocked you, but now that the blackout of Sunyshore City is over, you can proceed to Route 222.

Route 222

This beach path is quite straightforward— head east and you'll reach the gate to Sunyshore City. There is a large amount of trainers. However, most can be avoided if you do not wish to battle (But why would you want to avoid them?). This is a good place for training for your upcoming Gym challenge. The house on the left is a Pikachu fan club, and the house on the right contains a man that will randomly assess the size of any Remoraid that you show him. If it's big enough, you will be rewarded with an item. There are also many items scattered on this route. To grab all of them, you'll need some HMs.

Sunyshore City

This fairly large city has elevated bridges that are actually solar panels! They were built to provide electricity to the Vista Lighthouse and Sunyshore Gym, which use a lot of electricity. Heal up at the Pokémon Center, and explore the town. The large building to your north is Sunyshore Market, where you can buy seals for your Ball Capsules. Different seals are sold on each day of the week. If you travel on the solar panel roads to the two houses in the northeast corner of the city, you can meet an elderly couple that will comment on Team Galactic. Apparently, the woman knew Galactic Boss Cyrus when he was younger. These people are in the house on the right. The house on the left has a woman in it that will give your Pokémon a ribbon once per day if you tell her a story. The house that you must access using Rock Climb has a scientist inside that can give you several different Pokétch Apps, as a reward for showing him a Pokémon with the nature that he requests.

When you try to enter the Gym (it's in the city's northwest corner), a man with red hair appears and introduces himself as Flint, a member of the Elite Four! The Elite Four are tougher than Gym Leaders and will be your next challenge after you obtain the Beacon Badge.

If you go north from the Pokémon Center far enough, you will arrive on a small beach. You can surf on the water, but this route comes after you have eight badges. The girl standing on the beach, Jasmine, is a Gym Leader in Olivine City, Johto region. Talk to her after you get your eighth badge to receive HM07 (Waterfall). The water is Route 223. Wait to travel across the ocean until you have your eighth badge— you do not have the necessary HM to climb the waterfall at the end.

Now head to the Vista Lighthouse on the southeast of the town via the bridge. Grab the hidden Zap Plate, then head inside.

Vista Lighthouse

You'll be immediately in a lift that brings you up. After arriving on the top floor, talk to everyone. One of them is Gym Leader Volkner. He'll tell you that there's no worthy challengers recently. After talking with him, he'll go back to Sunyshore Gym. Look into the binoculars (press A button on it) and you'll see Lily Of The Valley Island (or Pokemon League, as the Town Map says), where you'll challenge the Elite Four.

Now heal your Pokemon and go to Sunyshore Gym.
