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}}.

It is interesting to note that each of the members of the lake trio has one of the qualities of the [[wikipedia:Abrahamic God|Abrahamic God]]: Uxie is omniscient, Mesprit is omnipresent, and Azelf is omnipotent. They could also be equated to, respectively, the Greek/Roman deities of {{wp|Athena}}/{{wp|Minerva}}, {{wp|Poseidon}}/[[wp:Neptune (mythology)|Neptune]], and {{wp|Zeus}}/[[wp:Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]. 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). | It is interesting to note that each of the members of the lake trio has one of the qualities of the [[wikipedia:Abrahamic God|Abrahamic God]]: Uxie is omniscient, Mesprit is omnipresent, and Azelf is omnipotent.

A 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.
