Strategy Overview

Uxie's deep movepool and solid bulk carve a role out for it as either a bulky setup sweeper or utility pivot. Nasty Plot sets have an easy time setting up thanks to Uxie's high defensive stats, which also make them good candidates for defensive Terastallization. Options like Encore, U-turn, Stealth Rock, and Knock Off make Uxie an excellent role compressor. However, Uxie's mediocre Special Attack makes it very passive unless it's set up multiple times, and it struggles to break through common Steel-types like Bronzong and Copperajah even after setting up. Uxie's passivity means its utility sets are easily taken advantage of by common Dark-types like Incineroar, Overqwil, and Alolan Muk. The mono-Psychic typing does few favors for Uxie defensively, which can make it reliant on Terastallization to reliably sweep.
