Mesprit (Japanese: エムリット Emrit) is a Psychic-type legendary Pokémon.

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.

Biology

Physiology

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 is said to have hatched from the same egg as Uxie and Azelf.

Gender differences

Mesprit is genderless, although it is referred to as a female in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.

Special abilities

Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. According to legend, a person that touches it will have their emotions completely drained away. It was also shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that Mesprit has the ability to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans.

Behavior

Mesprit is playful and a bit mischievous.

Habitat

Mesprit sleeps at the bottom of Lake Verity. Once it is encountered, it will run away and wander around Sinnoh; its current location can be tracked with the Marking Map Pokétch app, with Mesprit moving to a new (usually adjacent) location whenever the player enters a new area.

Major appearances

Mesprit (anime)

Dawn saw the projected soul of Mesprit near Lake Verity in Following A Maiden Voyage!.

A statue and silhouette of the same Mesprit appears in A Secret Sphere of Influence.

Mesprit itself appeared in The Needs of the Three!, where it, along with Uxie, came to Lake Valor after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by J and Team Galactic, but before it was captured, it used Future Sight with Uxie, 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 in stopping Cyrus's plot to use Dialga and Palkia.

Minor appearances

Mesprit along with its trio made a brief appearance in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness as the protectors of the Time Gear.

Diamond is sent to guard Mesprit from Team Galactic. He was chosen because, fittingly, he is very calm when compared to the hyper Pearl or the knowledgable Platinum.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

On the Spear Pillar stage, occasionally the lake guardians make surprising "cameo" appearances during the fight; they do nothing, however.

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.

Trivia

• Mesprit is somewhat unique among the members of its trio, as it leaves Lake Verity to roam Sinnoh after being encountered by the player in Lake Verity's cavern.
  • In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Mesprit is the only one of the lake trio to fight the main character in battle during the main story; despite being depicted as a calm and peaceful Pokémon, it was enraged by a previous attack on its counterpart Uxie and quite fiercely attacked the hero and their partner.
• Mesprit shares the same species name with Kirlia. They are both known as Emotion Pokémon.
• Mesprit is the first Legendary Pokémon seen in the Diamond & Pearl series of the anime.
• Mesprit is the only member of the lake trio 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.
• Mesprit is one of the few pre-Generation V Pokémon not to have appeared in a movie, along with its trio and Phione.

Origin

Mesprit is based after 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.

Name origin

Mesprit may be a combination of me and esprit (French for spirit) or sprite.

Emrit may be a combination of 笑む emu (to smile) or emotion and esprit or sprite.
