Biology
Physiology
Mesprit is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel encrusted in them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which comprise the Red Chain. Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted in its forehead.
Gender differences
Mesprit is genderless, although it is referred to as a female in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.
Special abilities
Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. According to legend, a person that touches it will have their emotions completely drained away. It was also shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that Mesprit has the ability to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans.
Behavior
Mesprit is playful and a bit 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.

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
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
Mesprit may be a combination of me and esprit (French for spirit) or sprite.
Emrit may be a combination of 笑む emu (to smile) or emotion and esprit or sprite.
