Azelf (Japanese: アグノム Agnome) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with Uxie and Mesprit, Azelf is a member of the lake guardians, a Legendary trio first discovered in the Sinnoh region. Azelf is known as the Being of Willpower (Japanese: 意思(いし)(かみ) God of Willpower).

Biology

Azelf is a small, gray-blue, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel on them. Azelf has a partially cyan face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Azelf has a cone-shaped head with elf ear-like protrusions on each side.

Azelf's spirit can leave its body without dying and can return to the body at will. It sleeps at the bottom of a lake to preserve the balance of the world. It can control an individual's will or enter the body of an individual. Legends say that if Azelf is harmed, it can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile for all eternity. Azelf is highly feared due it having the power to manipulate the will of foes into its own puppets. It was shown in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! that it can teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans. Azelf can be very cautious around people and Pokémon. However, if threatened, it will reveal its bold side. In the past, it has been referred to as the "Being of Willpower" due to its role in giving humans the determination to face challenges in life. Alongside the other lake guardians, Mesprit is needed for the creation of a Red Chain. Either through gems extracted from its body or through its fang. Together they're also capable of destroying a Red Chain. They even have the power to calm down Dialga and Palkia should the deities be enraged, but not both at once. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Azelf is shown to be capable of speaking the human language via telepathy.

Azelf and the other lake guardians are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Mystical Power.

Trophy information

A Willpower Pokémon. Born from the same Egg as Uxie and Mesprit, this Pokémon maintains the balance of things in the world from the bottom of Lake Valor. Some say that anyone who injures it will become unable to perform any kind of action after seven days. It wields many strong attacks, like the devastating Last Resort. It can also protect itself from sleep attacks with Uproar.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Azelf appears as a Spirit alongside Mesprit and Uxie.

Trivia

Origin

Azelf seems to be based on a pixie or a fairy, although its Japanese name suggests that it is a gnome. The lake guardians could possibly have originated from the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the Kusanagi, which embodies valor. Additionally, it may draw inspiration from Thrones—one of the three highest ranking angel classes in Christianity—also known as the "valiant ones."

Name origin

Azelf may be a combination of A of the acronym UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, wasei-eigo for cryptid) and elf. It may also involve the pronoun us, as well as azure.

Agnome may be a combination of A of the acronym UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal, wasei-eigo for cryptid) and gnome.
