Unlike previous trios, all three of the lake trio are of a single type, the {{type2|Psychic}}, though like the others, they share an [[ability]]: {{a|Levitate}}. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], when {{p|Arceus}} created the universe it created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and therefore is believed to be their [[Trio master|master]]. According to one of Azelf's Pokédex entries, all three of them were born from the same egg. | Unlike previous trios, all three of the lake trio are of a single type, the {{type2|Psychic}}, though like the others, they share an [[ability]]: {{a|Levitate}}.

Another parallel for the trio rest within {{wp|Norse Mythology}}. {{wp|Odin}} along with his brothers {{wp|Vili and Vé}} bestow upon {{wp|Ask and Embala}} various corporeal and spiritual gifts similar to those the trio represent. Odin gave soul and life; Vili gave wit (intelligence) and sense of touch; and Vé gave countenance (appearance, facial expression), speech, hearing, and sight. It should also be noted that parts of their name come from fantasy creatures, {{wp|pixie}}s, {{wp|sprite}}s and {{wp|elf|elves}}, respectively. The other parts of their names come from pronouns: you ('''U'''xie), me ('''Me'''sprit), and us ('''Az'''elf). | ||
