[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Mesprit (Japanese: エムリット Emrit) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mesprit is the second member of the lake guardians, the Sinnoh region's Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon trio.

Biology

Physiology

Mesprit is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel encrusted into them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement the Red Chain. Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted into its forehead.

Gender differences

Mesprit is genderless, although it is referred to as a female in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2.

Special abilities

Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. According to legend, it can drain one's emotions away by simply touching it.

Behavior

Mesprit is playful and abit mischievous.

Habitat

Mesprit sleeps at the bottom of Lake Verity. Once it is encountered, it will run away, wandering around Sinnoh and only traceable with the Marking Map Pokétch app. Mesprit will warp to a new location whenever the player crosses the boundary between two areas except if the player passes through a gate between a city and a route. It also moves when the player is using Fly.

Mesprit in the anime

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

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

Mesprit itself appeared in DP151, 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 DP152, 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.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

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.

On the Spear Pillar stage, occasionally the lake guardians make suprising "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 found, and will flee from battle easily if the player catches up.
  • Also, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, Mesprit is the only one of the lake trio to fight the main character before the end of the main story.
• Despite being genderless in the main series games, Mesprit is referred to as a female in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2.
• 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.
• Azelf's Pokémon Pearl Pokédex entry mentions that Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf emerged from the same egg.

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

The English name may be derived from the personal pronoun me and esprit (French for "spirit") or sprite. Its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 笑む emu, meaning to smile, or emotion, and esprit or sprite.

• German: Vesprit
• French: Crefollet - From créer (create) and feu follet (Will-O-Wisp, also the French translation for the move of the same name).
