Uxie Platinum Guide
In Platinum, Uxie is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a pivot. Stealth Rock with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
Uxie is a static encounter at Lake Acuity in Platinum. Uxie appears at level 50. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Platinum, 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 Platinum, 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 Platinum, Uxie fills the pivot role. It's a mixed attacker with base 75 Attack and 75 Sp. Atk. Base 95 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
