===Major appearances===

Elgyem made its debut in ''[[BW030|A UFO for Elgyem!]]'' as the friend of [[Professor Icarus]]. It tried to help others by giving them visions of impending danger to help prevent the accident from happening but this only caused suspicion and drew attention to Professor Icarus's household. It befriended {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} when they too came to investigate, and even saved Ash's life after showing them a vision of Ash falling through a weak board on a bridge. It was later kidnapped by {{TRT}} and Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} came to its rescue and reunited it with Professor Icarus.

==Trivia==

===Origin===

Elgyem is based on {{wp|Grey alien|greys}}, one of the more popular kinds of {{wp|extraterrestrial life|alien}}. Its rocky physical appearance may be a reference to the {{wp|stone circle}}s of Europe, which were allegedly created by visiting extraterrestrials. The colored dots on its hands resembles the colorful faces of the invaders in the {{wp|The War of the Worlds (1953 film)|1953 ''War of the Worlds'' film}}; however, the aliens in the film had green, blue and red dots while Elgyem has red, green and yellow. Judging from its Pokédex entry, Elgyem and its {{p|Beheeyem|evolution}} may also be based on the {{wp|Area 51}} {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories concerning Area 51|alien conspiracies}} or the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}. Considering its species names, physical appearance, and powers, it may also be based on a brain.
