Uxie (Japanese: ユクシー Yuxie) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Mesprit and Azelf, Uxie is a member of the lake guardians, a Legendary trio first discovered in the Sinnoh region. Uxie is known as the Being of Knowledge (Japanese: 知識(ちしき)の神(かみ) God of Knowledge).

Biology

Uxie is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon with two gray tails that are each encrusted with a red gem. Uxie has a partially yellow face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Its head faintly resembles that of a helmet or a human brain. Uxie always has its eyes closed, as it can wipe out the memory of those who see its eyes.

Uxie is both feared and respected for its ability to erase the memories of evil people. Uxie's spirit can leave its body without dying, and return at will. It created all knowledge in the Pokémon universe. Notably, when Uxie first emerged, humans gained the knowledge needed to solve problems and improved their quality of life. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, it is shown that Uxie can create an illusion. It was also shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Though it is very shy, Uxie will attack with force if it or the other lake guardians are threatened. In the past, it has been referred to as the "Being of Knowledge" due to its role in giving humans the ability to adapt and learn as life goes on. Uxie and the other lake guardians have the power to calm Dialga or Palkia should the deity be enraged, but not both at once. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Uxie is shown to be capable of speech via telepathy.

Uxie and the other lake guardians are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Mystical Power.

Major appearances

Uxie (anime)

In Uncrushing Defeat!, Uxie's "soul" appeared to Brock, much in the same way those of Mesprit and Azelf appeared to Dawn and Ash, respectively.

Uxie physically debuted in The Needs of the Three!, where it, along with Mesprit, came to Lake Valor after Azelf was captured. However, it was also captured by J and Team Galactic, but before it was captured, it used Future Sight with Mesprit, destroying her ship later on. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In The Battle Finale of Legend!, after breaking from their control with the help of Brock's Croagunk and Ash's Gliscor, it helped in stopping Cyrus's plot to use Dialga and Palkia. It reappeared in Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles, helping to stop a rampaging Heatran.

Trivia

Origin

Uxie seems to be based on a pixie or a fairy and the color yellow. The lake guardians could possibly have originated from the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Uxie would be the Yata no Kagami, which embodies wisdom and honesty. Additionally, it may draw inspiration from Cherubim—one of the three highest ranking angel classes in Christianity—characterized by knowledge.

Name origin

Uxie and Yuxie may be a combination of U of the acronym UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, wasei-eigo for cryptid) and pixie. It may also involve the pronoun you.
