ElgyemNext Destinies #61 Pokémon Card

Elgyem is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, first appearing in the Unova region. Known as the Cerebral Pokémon, its name is believed to be a phonetic play on "LGM," a common abbreviation for "Little Green Men," hinting at its extraterrestrial origins. Pokédex entries often describe Elgyem as having arrived on Earth 50 years ago from outer space, landing in the desert. Its large head is said to house a highly developed brain, capable of emitting powerful psychic waves. These waves can manipulate objects, communicate telepathically, and even induce headaches in those nearby. Elgyem typically inhabits secluded, arid areas, preferring isolation to avoid interaction with humans, though it is sometimes drawn to places with strong psychic energy. It evolves into Beheeyem, which further enhances its psychic abilities and control. In the games, Elgyem is often encountered in places like the Celestial Tower or Route 14, and it plays a minor role in the anime, usually depicted as a mysterious or misunderstood creature. Its unique design and backstory contribute to its appeal, making it a distinctive member of the Psychic-type Pokémon family.
