How To Catch The Lake Guardians In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond

Okay, so you’re ready to catch some legends in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond? We're talking about Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf - the Lake Guardians. Think of them as the brains, emotion, and willpower of the whole Sinnoh region. No pressure, right?

Getting Started: The Lake Trio Unveiled

First things first, you need to become the Champion. Once you've proven you're the best trainer around, it's time to dive into the legend of the lakes.

Head to Lake Verity, Lake Valor, and Lake Acuity. Each lake holds a secret, and a legendary Pokemon awaits you.

Uxie: The Knowledge Keeper

Let's start with Uxie in Lake Acuity. It's inside the cave. Talk to it, and BAM! You're in a battle.

Prepare yourself, it's a tough one. Stock up on Ultra Balls and healing items. Save often!

Knock its health down and start throwing those balls. With a bit of luck (and maybe a crit or two), Uxie will be yours.

Mesprit: The Roaming Emotion

Now, buckle up, because Mesprit is a runner. After interacting with it at Lake Verity, it decides to play a region-wide game of hide-and-seek.

This is where it gets interesting. You'll need the Marking Map app on your Poketch. It tracks Mesprit's location.

Chase it through Sinnoh. Enter and exit routes to change its location, and use the element of surprise when you find it.

The catch? Every time you encounter it, it immediately flees. You only get one turn. Use a Mean Look or a Wobbuffet with Shadow Tag to prevent its escape.
