Xatu (Japanese: ネイティオ Natio) is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Natu starting at level 25.

Biology

Physiology

Xatu are green condor-like Pokémon with long, red-and-black tipped white wings that covers most of the Pokémon's front. Underneath its wings are designs that resemble red-colored eyes. Along with its main green coloration, Xatu’s designs have accentuations of black, yellow, and red. Notably, its head resembles much of its pre-evolution’s round body, with the exception of a longer, slightly hooked beak and dual, longer feather crests. Xatu’s feet have only two toes, one in front and one in back. Xatu’s design is similar to a totem pole or a kachina doll.

Gender differences

A male has one extra set of yellow stripes.

Special abilities

Like most Psychic Pokémon, it possess psychic abilities. However, its specialty is that it has the ability to see into the future with the right eye, and the past with the left.

Behavior

Xatu tend to stand still all day. Many theories have been thought up to explain this behavior. One such theory explains that it keeps seeing visions of the past and future, and that it doesn't move due to fears of these future visions coming true. Although unable to comunicate telephathically one might understand it's thoughts by looking at its wings.

Trivia

• Xatu currently is the only Pokémon whose name begins with the letter X.
• Xatu shares the same species name with Flygon. They are both known as the Mystic Pokémon.
• The Xatu in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon sometimes speaks in a backward fashion, similar to famed Star Wars character Yoda.
• Despite being able to learn Dream Eater, it cannot learn any attacks, though breeding or other legitimate means, to put opponents to sleep.
• The yellow stripes on Xatu's body were originally black and white.

Origin

It seems to draw inspiration from a Native American totem.

Name origin

Xatu's English name probably derives from Atu, an Aztec god or the first man in Samoan mythology and the X for exotic, hence its appearance. Xatu's Japanese name appears to be a corruption of native.
