Uxie is a small, gray, fairy-likePokémon 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 them. It 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 thePokémon universe and gavehumans the ability to adapt and learn as life goes on, leading it to be referred to as the "Being of Knowledge" in the past. Notably, when Uxie first emerged,humans gained the knowledge needed to solve problems and improved their quality of life. InPokémon Mystery Dungeon, it is shown that Uxie can create illusions. It was also shown inThe Needs of the Three! andThe Battle Finale of Legend! to be able toteleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Though it is very shy, Uxie will attack with force if it or its friends are threatened. Alongside the otherlake guardians, Uxie is needed for the creation of aRed Chain, either through gems extracted from its body or through itsclaw. Together, they're also capable of destroying a Red Chain. They even have the power to calm downDialga orPalkia should they be enraged, but not both at once. Uxie lives inLake Acuity, specifically in the Acuity Cavern at the center of the lake, thus gaining its title as a lake guardian. InPokémon Legends: Arceus, Uxie is shown to be capable ofspeaking human language via telepathy.
