Can you get the Lake Trio to respawn?

Question

I’m playing Pokémon BDSP And I’m trying to complete the Pokédex. I need to find the lake trio.
However, I want a shiny hunt them later on. If I flee from them, will I have a chance to rebattle them later?

Comments

> Uxie & Azelf did respawn at their respective lakes however Mespirit when I finished back didn't go to the lake and was already roaming again. Probably means I can't hunt mespirit without consantly beating the E4 again.

I can answer if you think a Reddit post is a good enough source.

I don’t want to risk messing up my chances so that’s why I want a reputable source

If following from the original games, then yes. After you beat the Elite 4 they should respawn allowing you to shiny hunt them in post game.

Answer 1

Yes, the Lake Trio respawns after you beat the Pokemon League.

To test, I ran away from Uxie, killed Azelf, and killed Mesprit, after confirming its stats were consistent. After I beat the League, the Guardians were at their respective caves, except for Mesprit, who was already roaming. I caught Mesprit and it had a different nature and stats.
