Stats & Training
Uxie's spread favors balanced defenses over offense. Defense leads the defensive side, HP eats the cost. Yields 3 Defense and Sp. Def EVs per defeat. Slow 1.25M XP grind to level.
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.
