Uxie is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon with two gray tails that are each encrusted with a red gem. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which make up the Red Chain. Uxie has a partially yellow face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Uxie's head faintly resembles that of a helmet or a human brain. Uxie always has its eyes closed due to the fact that it can wipe out the memory of those who look in its eyes.
Uxie is said to have hatched from the same egg as Mesprit and Azelf.
Uxie's spirit can leave its body without dying, and return at will. It can also wipe out the memory of those who see its eyes. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, it is shown that Uxie can also create an illusion. Uxie is also the most intelligent of all Pokémon, having created all knowledge in the Pokémon universe. It was also shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that Uxie has the ability to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans.
Behavior
Uxie is a very shy Pokémon but will attack with force if it or the other two members of the lake guardians are threatened.
Occasionally, on the Spear Pillar stage, the lake guardians make a cameo appearance during the fight; they do nothing, however.
Trophy Information
A Knowledge Pokémon. It's said that Uxie's emergence gave humans the wisdom to improve their lives. This Pokémon possesses the ability to erase the memory of those who see its eyes. Uxie uses status-altering moves in battle--its frequent use of Yawn is very effective in putting foes to sleep. Uxie makes its home in Lake Acuity in the Sinnoh region.
Uxie is one of the few pre-Generation V Pokémon not to have appeared in a movie, along with its trio and Phione.
Uxie is known to be the smartest pokemon second to Arceus.
Origin
Uxie is based after a pixie or a fairy and the color yellow. Uxie and the rest of the trio 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.
