How To Get Mesprit, Azelf & Uxie In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Pokemon Shining Pearl

How to catch all 3 of the Lake Legendaries (Mesprit, Azelf & Uxie) in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl for the Nintendo Switch!

You must have advanced the story at least untill the events with Palkia/Dialga on Mount Coronet.

After that return to Verity Lake and go inside the Cave by using Surf, interact with Mesprit so he runs off into the wild.
Then go to the Poketech building in Jubilife City to get the Map Marker to be able to see where Mesprit is on the map.

Enter/exit Routes to force Mesprit to move around untill he lands on the same Route as you, save game and use a Repel (as long as the Pokemon that's 1st on your team is under level 50) , this way you assure that the only encounter possible will be Mesprit as he is level 50.
(He flees from battle every single turn so if you don't want to make life too complicated this is a good chance to make use of your Master Ball)

For Azelf just go to the cave in Valor Lakefront, SAVE GAME before interacting with him as this one doesn't run away , you fight him here and now.

Uxie is exactly the same as Azelf except that he can be found in the cave at Acuity Lakefront.

Hi, i accidentally made Uxie fainted. is there a way to catch it after making it fainted? thanks a lot!

[ghostlycreations]

I don't necessarily wanna catch them, I wanna know how you see them. I don't have them in my dex and am curious if there's something I could do to see them without fighting them.

I used the master ball to catch the yellow one... How do I catch the other ones ? It's still difficult finding them...

[germansausage]

I threw about 30 ultra balls on 2hp, paralysed blue one. I can not catch it. Help
