Now you can choose any Pokémon in the game but we’ll be focusing on the ones you should opt for that are going to give you an edge against the Lake Trio. Let us focus on the Nature required for each one of the Trio one after the other.

Starting with Uxie, it is a Pokémon that focuses on Defense and Special Defense. Which is why the best nature to go for it would be a Calm or Bold Nature. Being a Pokémon that is heavy on Defense, Uxie will require a lot of patience to obtain.

Mesprit on the other hand is a Pokémon that offers a balance between Defense and Attack. Albeit, it is slightly weaker than Uxie and Azelf. It requires Modest or Timid Natures to be dealt with.

Finally we have Azelf which focuses on offense and like Mesprit, it will also require Modest or Timid natures which are more inclined on the defensive side.

We hope these tips were simple for you to understand if you look to go back to Pokémon Legends: Arceus and get your hands on the Lake Trio.

Be sure to let us know which technique was most effective for you in catching these Legendary Pokemon!
