CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Elgyem has been known for around fifty years and has a highly developed brain for wielding psychic powers. Stories place its appearance near a site where a UFO supposedly crashed in the desert. Other reports of aliens allegedly turned out to be Elgyem simply taking a walk. Near a television, it is said to make unfamiliar landscapes appear on screen. The Pokédex preserves the mystery of its origin and presents these accounts as testimony or rumor.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Sun says many sightings attributed to aliens concern Elgyem. Pokémon Sword reports strange images on nearby televisions, supposedly showing where it originated. This interpretation remains a story rather than proof of provenance.
