The Pokemon BDSP Mean Look move can be an incredibly useful move to have in your party, because the move prevents wild Pokemon from escaping. This can make catching three of the legendary Pokemon in Pokemon BDSP, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, much easier, because they tend to flee from battles pretty often. Thankfully, getting the Pokemon BDSP Mean Look isn't very difficult, although the the method is different from obtaining something like Pokemon BDSP Waterfall. Here's what you need to know.

Pokemon BDSP Mean Look Location

There are 100 TMs in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Unfortunately, the Mean Look TM isn't one of them, which means that players can't simply teach a Pokemon the move at will, and will instead have to find a wild Pokemon that can learn the move.

In total, there are 17 Pokemon that can learn Mean Look through levelling up. This means that if you want Mean Look to be part of your team in Pokemon BDSP then you will need to catch one of the Pokemon below.

The good thing is, none of them are Pokemon that are only available once, which means you will definitely be able to find a Pokemon to build up ready to compete with the Mean Look. Some of the Pokemon on the list learn Mean Look at level 1, which means that if you breed the Pokemon with either a Ditto or two of the same Pokemon, the Pokemon from the egg will hatch at level 1 and immediately learn Mean Look.

And, if you didn't realize the potential of the move and chose not to teach it to your Pokemon, you can always visit the Pokemon BDSP Move Relearner and learn the move again

Here are all of the Pokemon in BDSP that learn the Mean Look move.

  • Zubat (Learns at level 10) - Route 203, 204, 206, 207
  • Golbat (learns at level 1) - Evolves from Zubat at Level 22
  • Crobat (learns at level 1) - Evolves from Golbat with Friendship
  • Gastly (learns at level 8) - Route 209, Old Chateau, Lost Tower, Grand Underground
