you can catch it by teaching a Pokemon False swipe. The first time you encounter it and you use a move, it will flee. next time you encounter it, paralyze it or put is to sleep.
The moves charm and thunder wave work best. also sweet kiss. Than use false swipe
and a quick ball.

Mesprit does flee from the battles normally at the beginning. But if you manage to inflict damage on it then when you see it again it will still have the damage to it. The best way I found to catch Mesprit is to get a level 30-40 Pokemon that knows Mean Look, I evolved my gastly as i found my captured Haunters didnt know Mean Look. Then give your Pokemon that knows mean look a quick claw. Track down Mesprit using the Poketech app (forgot what it is called, my apologies >.
You have two chances to catch Mesprit. If you accidentally make it faint both times, you can't catch it anymore. If you made Mesprit faint once, find it, trap it, lower its hp to 1 using false swipe (you should have gotten the TM), let it escape, then encounter it again and use a quick ball.
