Natu bears resemblance to old records of a supposedly now-extinct middle form between Natu and Xatu. It's quite intelligent and curious and can even use tools to draw and communicate with others.

Xatu can see glimpses of the future, but the future is often so hazy and unclear that they have a difficult time making sense of what they see. They often overreact to the visions they have, which distresses their Trainer and other Pokémon.
