Ability and Held Item

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Uxie Image
Ability Held Item
Levitate Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Leftovers ImageLeftovers

Uxie's best Ability is Levitate, which is its only Ability. Leftovers can help Uxie recover HP, which works in tandem with Yawn and Protect, allowing it to buy some turns to recover.

Moves Breakdown

Mystical Power Dazzling Gleam
Yawn Protect

Mystical Power is the Lake Trio's new signature move from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This allows Uxie to boost its Special Attack while dealing decent damage.

Dazzling Gleam is a useful spread attack. Once Uxie has gained enough boosts from Mystical Power, it can potentially sweep with Dazzling Gleam.

Yawn can put opponents to sleep or force them to switch out. This works in tandem with Protect and its Leftovers Held Item.

Protect can keep Uxie safe on some turns where it is in danger of getting targeted.

Best Fairy Type Pokemon for Ranked Battle

EV Spread Explanation

How to Use Uxie Effectively

Use Mystical Power to Gain Special Attack Buffs

Mystical Power can boost Uxie's Special Attack with each use. After multiple uses, this can allow Uxie to deal sizeable damage to most foes on unresisted hits.

How to Build a Team with Uxie

Uxie can do well with teammates with Intimidate and redirection. These teammates can help Uxie get turns to boost its Special Attack with Mystical Power.

Sample Doubles Team

Support / Special Attacker Physical Attacker
Uxie ImageUxie Landorus (Therian Forme) ImageLandorus (Therian Forme)
Support / Redirection Special Attacker
Amoonguss ImageAmoonguss Rillaboom ImageRillaboom

Landorus-T can Earthquake without damaging Uxie because of its Levitate Ability. Its Intimidate can also mitigate physical damage done to your side.

Amoonguss can redirect hits away from Uxie, allowing it to repeatedly use Mystical Power and stack buffs. Rillaboom can give it Fake Out support, by flinching an opposing Pokemon that can threaten Uxie. Additionally, Rillaboom can learn Drain Punch, having a great option against Dark-types.

Counters for Uxie

Force Uxie to Tera or KO It

Despite its meager bulk, Uxie will not be able to survive multiple powerful super-effective hits. While it can Terastallize to shed its weakness, it also forces the player to commit Tera, which is a valuable resource.
