Community Q&A

Question

Can I battle the three lake spirits again if they faint in Pokemon White 2?

Community Answer

No, but if you saved the game, you may do it again with a soft reset.
Question

Where do I find Mesprit after I beat it?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, after you beat it, there is no way you can find it and battle it again. Next time, when you face a legendary, save the game just before the battle. Then if you beat it, you can reset the game and you'll have the chance to take it on once more.
Question

If I run out of Pokeballs, does that mean I can't battle them again?

Community Answer

Yes, which is why you should only battle them once you think you have a good amount of Pokeballs.
