Catch Mesprit in Pokémon Platinum using a high-level Murkrow with Mean Look and X-Special Defends.

  • A Murkrow (Level 40s recommended, not too high to use Repels effectively).
  • Mean Look (move).
  • X-Special Defends (item).
  • Various Poké Balls (Dusk Balls, Quick Balls, Timer Balls, Ultra Balls).
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Encounter Mesprit.
  2. 2
    Use Mean Look to prevent it from fleeing.
  3. 3
    Use six X-Special Defends to significantly boost your Special Defense against Future Sight.
  4. 4
    Once your Special Defense is high, weaken Mesprit carefully.
  5. 5
    Catch Mesprit using your Poké Balls.
  6. 6
    Heal your Pokémon if necessary.
Tips
  • Having Murkrow at a level in the 40s is ideal. Avoid making it too high a level, as this will hinder your ability to use Repels to find Mesprit.
  • Mean Look is crucial for preventing Mesprit from escaping.
  • Using six X-Special Defends makes Mesprit unable to damage you effectively with Future Sight.
  • You can weaken Mesprit before initiating the capture sequence.
