Do the Pokemon that give you the plates respawn after you defeat them?

Question

Cressalia, Lake Trio, Heatran, etc.

Comments

In what scenario? Did you catch them, defeat them, or something else.

When you defeat them.

I know the Vespiquen definitely doesn't

With the Legendaries, I know you have to catch them.  I defeated Azelf and Heatran and it made me battle them again because I had to catch him.

@J™ could you make that into an answer?

I'm not certain it is all of them though

Answer 1

Yes, for the most part

If you knock out a plate legendary, you are greeted with a “try again” message and are brought back to the beginning of the encounter (with all the EXP and stuff you gained from your legendary-killing).

The Vespiquen, however, doesn’t respawn after knocking it out, but it gives you the insect plate anyways. It’s just a Vespiquen; you can find another one if you need it

Great, now to grind for hours against a Mespirit.
