As a Legendary, Mesprit gets solid stats across the board, though it doesn't dominate any single category. Psychic from Gen 4 gives it a unique niche. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Needs some investment to avoid getting outsped.
An unusually even spread gives Mesprit flexibility. Attack barely edges ahead. But HP isn't far off. Near-impossible to catch and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind. Yields 3 Attack and Sp. Atk and Sp. Def EVs.
Known as “The Being of Emotion.” It taught humans the nobility of sorrow, pain, and joy.
It sleeps at the bottom of a lake. Its spirit is said to leave its body to fly on the lake’s surface.
Mesprit Weakness
VulnerableBug, Ghost, and Dark-type moves hit Mesprit for super-effective damage. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Mesprit's overall bulk (80/105/105) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
A Psychic-type legendary, Mesprit doesn't evolve or breed. At 580 total stats, it's meant to stand on its own.
