Read more ↓Xatu, the Mystic Pokémon, is a fascinating Psychic/Flying-type creature introduced in Generation II with the release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. It is the evolved form of Natu, evolving at level 25. Known for its enigmatic and somewhat unsettling ability to see both the past and the future simultaneously, Xatu often stands motionless, observing the flow of time. Its primary habitat includes ancient ruins, deserts, and grasslands, places where it can meditate undisturbed and fulfill its role as a spiritual guardian. In the Pokémon world, Xatu is revered by some as an oracle or a deity due to its prophetic foresight, while others find its unblinking gaze unnerving. Its diet is believed to consist mainly of insects and small berries, reflecting its relatively peaceful nature despite its powerful psychic abilities. In the games, Xatu is often encountered as a wild Pokémon in areas like the Ruins of Alph or the Safari Zone, and it has made appearances in the anime, often depicted as a wise and ancient being. Its unique design, resembling a totem pole or a Native American kachina doll, further adds to its mystique and cultural significance within the Pokémon universe.
