The ''' | The '''lake guardians'''<ref>''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' — ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''</ref><ref>''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]''</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|湖の神々|みずうみのかみがみ}}''' ''lake gods''), also known as the '''Pokémon of the lakes''' or the '''Lake trio''',<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-DS/Pokemon-Platinum-Version-272321.html Pokémon Platinum Version - Nintendo.co.uk]</ref> are a [[Legendary group|trio]] of [[Legendary Pokémon]] from the [[Sinnoh]] region: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.

All three are {{type|Psychic}} and have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}. Starting in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], they share a [[signature move]], {{m|Mystical Power}}. | |||
===Origin=== | |||
The lake guardians represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively. They are based on the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}: the {{wp|Yata no Kagami}} (wisdom), {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}} (benevolence), and {{wp|Kusanagi}} (valor). | |||
Parts of their names come from fantasy creatures: {{wp|pixie}}s, {{wp|sprite}}s, and {{wp|elf|elves}}, respectively. The other parts of their names come from either the acronym '''UMA''' (Unidentified Mysterious Animal; {{wp|wasei-eigo}} for cryptid) or {{wp|personal pronoun}}s: you ('''U'''xie), me ('''Me'''sprit), and us ('''Az'''elf). | |||
