Take on Mesprit with our raid guide.
The Road to Sinnoh event will see Mesprit return to Pokémon GO raids on Wednesday February 22. The Lake trio in Pokémon GO are all region specific, so Mesprit will be available in the EMEA region (or by remote raids).
Mesprit is a pretty average Pokémon in Pokémon GO. It does have a nice shiny, but we can't say it is a powerful raid attacker.
This Mesprit Pokémon GO raid guide will give you everything you need to win your raids.
Lake Trio Raid Guides:
Best Mesprit counters in Pokémon GO:
Mesprit is a Psychic-type Pokémon meaning it is weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost-type Pokémon.
Here are the best Mesprit counters in Pokémon GO:
 Mega Tyranitar Bite & Brutal Swing |  Mega Gengar Lick & Shadow Ball |  Shadow Chandelure Hex & Shadow Ball |  Mega Houndoom Snarl & Foul Play |  Hydreigon Bite & Brutal Swing |  Origin Forme Giratina Shadow Claw & Shadow Force |  Darkrai Snark & Shadow Ball |  Mega Scizor Fury Cutter & X-Scissor |  Volcarona Bug Bite & Bug Buzz |  Guzzlord Snarl & Brutal Swing |  Weavile Snark & Foul Play |  Yveltal Snark & Dark Pulse |
There is a wide range of Pokémon that Mesprit is weak too available. Mega Tyranitar is by far the most powerful Mesprit counter, and if you have any in your storage they are well worth using. Non-mega Tyranitar is also a good pick, so if you have several make sure to use them all.
Darkrai, who is Monday's road to Sinnoh tour event raid boss, is also a great pick. Maybe try and grab one or two of those if you plan to raid Mesprit on Wednesday.
