How to Evolve
PLA Uxie Best Moveset
130/130 balanced defenses at 95 Speed on Psychic. The moveset absorbs hits from both sides equally. 75 Sp. Atk generates minimal offensive pressure. Agile Style at 95 Speed can secure double turns, but the damage per turn is too low to justify the slots.
Best Build
Legends: Arceus uses different battle mechanics.

Moves List
Uxie's movepool balances level-up moves with TM options. Consistent STAB comes from Psychic and Extrasensory, and coverage across 10 types keeps opponents from switching in for free. No major gaps here.

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