===Major appearances===
Elgyem debuted 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 occurring, 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 him falling through a weak board on a bridge. It was later kidnapped by {{TRT}}, but Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} came to its rescue and reunited it with Professor Icarus.
 
In ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', [[Ricky]] used an Elgyem's {{m|Psychic}} powers for the Wishing Bell Festival contest. However, it was sometimes used to cheat.
 
===Minor appearances===
In ''[[BW053|A Maractus Musical!]]'', an Elgyem was participating in the [[Pokémon Performance Competition]] alongside a {{p|Bouffalant}}. Another Elgyem appeared in a flashback.
 
An Elgyem appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Elgyem is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Teleport}} through breeding.  
* Elgyem evolves at Level 42, which may be a reference to the novel series ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'', where The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42.
* Elgyem is an [[extraterrestrial Pokémon]].
===Origin===
Elgyem seems to be 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; or Japanese ''{{wp|Dogū}}'', statues which have often been confused for alien artifacts. The depressions in place of its ears look like {{wp|crater|craters}} on faraway planets. The round, colored fingers on its hands resemble 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. The flashing patterns of its fingers may have been inspired by the 1977 sci-fi film ''{{wp|Close Encounters of the Third Kind}}'', particularly the iconic scene where flashing color and sound patterns are used to communicate with the alien mothership.


===Origin===
Judging from its [[Pokédex]] entry, Elgyem and its evolved form may also be based on the {{wp|Area 51}} {{wp|Area 51#UFO and other conspiracy theories|alien conspiracy theories}} or the {{wp|Roswell UFO incident|Roswell incident}}. Considering its species names, physical appearance, and powers, it may also be based on a {{wp|brain}}.

====Name origin====
Elgyem may be derived from the abbreviation ''{{wp|Little green men|LGM}}'' (little green men, a stereotypical depiction of extraterrestrials as diminutive green-skinned humanoids).


====Name Origin====
Ligray may be derived from ''little'' or ''little green men'' and ''{{wp|Grey alien|greys}}'' (purported extraterrestrial beings depicted as diminutive gray-skinned humanoids).
Elgyem is a corruption of the abbreviation LGM, a common term used to refer to aliens, meaning "Little Green Men."  Its Japanese name is likely derived from {{wp|Greys}}, a commonly speculated type of extraterrestrial.

Elgyem (Japanese: リグレー Ligray) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Beheeyem starting at level 42.

Biology

Elgyem is a cyan-colored extraterrestrial Pokémon with an oblong head with depressions on either side. It has black, symmetrical lines going down the front of its head. On the front of its head are shiny, green button-like eyes. Its hands have three finger-like digits: one red, one green, and one yellow. It has short, stubby legs and a small tail. Elgyem controls incredible psychic power, which it uses to squeeze its opponent's brains, causing them headaches. Its origin is said to be linked with a UFO crash site that appeared 50 years ago.

Overall, Elgyem has quite the welcoming and informative behavior. It is willing to help in stressful and otherwise difficult situations. However, Elgyem can become fully involved in something it feels to be important and protect that with its life. If Elgyem stands near a television, strange scenery will start appearing on the screen, which is said to be its home.

Evolution

Elgyem evolves into Beheeyem.

In the anime

Elgyem in the anime

Major appearances

Elgyem debuted in 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 occurring, but this only caused suspicion and drew attention to Professor Icarus's household. It befriended Ash and his friends when they too came to investigate and even saved Ash's life after showing them a vision of him falling through a weak board on a bridge. It was later kidnapped by Team Rocket, but Ash, Iris, and Cilan came to its rescue and reunited it with Professor Icarus.

In Climbing the Tower of Success!, Ricky used an Elgyem's Psychic powers for the Wishing Bell Festival contest. However, it was sometimes used to cheat.

Minor appearances

In A Maractus Musical!, an Elgyem was participating in the Pokémon Performance Competition alongside a Bouffalant. Another Elgyem appeared in a flashback.

An Elgyem appeared in a fantasy in Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!.

Trivia

  • Elgyem evolves at Level 42, which may be a reference to the novel series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42.

Origin

Elgyem seems to be based on greys, one of the more popular kinds of alien. Its rocky physical appearance may be a reference to the stone circles of Europe, which were allegedly created by visiting extraterrestrials; or Japanese Dogū, statues which have often been confused for alien artifacts. The depressions in place of its ears look like craters on faraway planets. The round, colored fingers on its hands resemble the colorful faces of the invaders in the 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. The flashing patterns of its fingers may have been inspired by the 1977 sci-fi film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, particularly the iconic scene where flashing color and sound patterns are used to communicate with the alien mothership.

Judging from its Pokédex entry, Elgyem and its evolved form may also be based on the Area 51 alien conspiracy theories or the Roswell incident. Considering its species names, physical appearance, and powers, it may also be based on a brain.

Name origin

Elgyem may be derived from the abbreviation LGM (little green men, a stereotypical depiction of extraterrestrials as diminutive green-skinned humanoids).

Ligray may be derived from little or little green men and greys (purported extraterrestrial beings depicted as diminutive gray-skinned humanoids).
