Uxie Guide
In X & Y, Uxie is a Legendary Pokemon rated C-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a pivot. Stealth Rock with Mental Herb is the standard set.
In X & Y, Uxie's biggest threats include Scyther (Bug), Misdreavus (Ghost), and Absol (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Uxie has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
In X & Y, Run Levitate on Uxie. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche.
In X & Y, Uxie fills the pivot role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 75 Attack). Base 95 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
For X & Y, the core moveset is Stealth Rock, Memento, Light Screen, and Reflect. Stealth Rock leads at 16% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
