A Pokémon feared but also respected for stealing away the memories of evildoers. I have found records that suggest Uxie holds dominion over knowledge.

Uxie Weakness

Uxie is weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Uxie's overall bulk (75/130/130) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Sun & Moon Uxie Best Moveset

Uxie's job is getting Stealth Rock up and staying on the field. Mental Herb provides one-time Taunt or Encore immunity, Levitate helps it stick around, and HP-heavy investment EVs prioritize longevity.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Uxie cleanly, with Future Sight and Dream Eater anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

Uxie Guide

  • In Sun & Moon, Uxie is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a pivot. Stealth Rock with Mental Herb is the standard set.

  • In Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, the core moveset is Stealth Rock, Trickroom, Memento, and Magiccoat. Stealth Rock leads at 25% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Uxie has appeared in 13 games since Diamond & Pearl, spanning 7 generations. As a Legendary, it's typically a one-per-save encounter tied to the story or post-game content.
