Choice Scarf Mesprit is a great revenge killer to handle fast Pokemon like Jolteon and Hisuian Sneasel. Dazzling Gleam is Mesprit's best complementary coverage move for Psychic, covering Dark-types like Sneasel and Sableye. U-turn lets Mesprit keep up offensive momentum against switch-ins like Orthworm, Farigiraf, and Snorlax. Healing Wish lets Mesprit give teammates like Virizion, Snorlax, and Glastrier a second chance to set up and sweep. Mesprit can alternatively use Trick to make a defensive Pokemon like Snorlax, Orthworm, or Dudunsparce less threatening. Tera Fairy Mesprit is a more effective offensive and defensive answer to Sneasel, Toxicroak, and Passimian given their Dark-type coverage moves, and Tera Fairy lets Mesprit not play guessing games with Psychic and Dazzling Gleam against Tera Dark Pokemon like the aforementioned Toxicroak and Passimian. Tera Steel has good synergy with Levitate and gives Mesprit several new resistances to more easily answer Whimsicott, Sandslash, and Farigiraf.
Offensive pivots like Jolteon and Magneton make great cores with Mesprit and appreciate Mesprit's Levitate to more easily play around Ground-types. Fighting-types like Hisuian Decidueye, Virizion, and Passimian are great offensive checks to Steel-types like Orthworm and Perrserker and specially defensive Normal-types like Snorlax and Dudunsparce, all of which give Mesprit trouble, and they appreciate Mesprit offensively checking Poison-types like Toxicroak, Weezing, and Hisuian Sneasel. Mesprit benefits from Ground-type teammates like Sandslash and Sandaconda patching up its poor matchup against Hisuian Qwilfish, while it can check foes like Virizion and Hisuian Decidueye for them. Setup sweepers like Oricorio-G, Regirock, and Frosmoth benefit from Mesprit providing them second chances to sweep with Healing Wish or making foes more exploitable with Trick. Physical wallbreakers like Hisuian Decidueye, Glastrier, and Toxicroak all benefit from Healing Wish giving them an additional chance for breaking, as they can break special walls that Mesprit cannot.
