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.

Major appearances

Mesprit (anime)

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.

Other

A Mesprit appeared in PK21 alongside Uxie and Azelf, serving Pikachu and his friends some apples.

Minor appearances

A Mesprit, along with the other members of its trio, briefly appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness as the protectors of the Time Gear.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Lake guardians (Adventures) → Mesprit

In the Diamond & Pearl arc, Mesprit was to be captured as part of Team Galactic's plans. Commander Mars led the operation to capture Mesprit, and succeeded; though Diamond had tried to stop her, he was captured along with Mesprit and taken to Team Galactic's Veilstone headquarters. Mesprit connected with Diamond the most, as he had great emotional control; Diamond also saw Mesprit at Lake Verity when he was young. It first appeared in Tackling Tangrowth.

In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master manga

Sugiru owns a Mesprit.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Along with Uxie and Azelf, Mesprit was captured by Team Galactic to create the Red Chain so that they can control the Legendary Dialga. It was eventually freed and helped stop Dialga by breaking the Red Chain. It first appeared in Team Galactic's Ultimate Warrior.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team manga

Mesprit appeared in BET2.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

A Mesprit was one of the Pokémon, along with Uxie, Team Galactic kidnapped and Red and his Pokémon went into their headquarters to save the two and reunite them with Azelf.

In the TCG

Main article: Mesprit (TCG)

Other appearances

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.
  • Mesprit shares its category with Kirlia. They are both 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.

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.
