Uxie @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 200 HP / 240 Def / 60 SpA / 58 SpD
Bold Nature
- Giga Drain
- Calm Mind
- Toxic
- Hidden Power [Fire] / Hidden Power [Fighting] / Hidden Power [Ground]


Giga Drain is there because Uxie has no access to a reliable healing move. Calm Mind boosts Special Attack and Special Defense. Toxic is for stalling. Hidden Power [Fire] / Hidden Power [Fighting] / Hidden Power [Ground]: choose your anti-Steel type weapon.

Gen 8 ZU

Uxie @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 236 SpA / 20 Spe or 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock / Stored Power
- Draining Kiss / Giga Drain

Substitute is to help Uxie setup Calm Mind. Calm Mind boosts your special attack and special defense. Psyshock is STAB and hits special walls. Stored Power is an option for a psychic STAB that has its base power increased as you increase your stats. Draining Kiss is for healing and is coverage against dark types. Giga Drain can be used instead of Draining Kiss for a stronger healing move. For the EV spread, run 252 HP / 236 SpA / 20 Spe if you're running Psyshock. If running Stored Power, run 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 Spe. 252 HP is to help take hits. 20 EVs is to outspeed 136 Speed EV Altaria. The rest of the EVs go to either Special Attack or Defense, depending on which psychic STAB move you use.

EVs: 252 HP / 72 Def / 184 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Draining Kiss / Rest

Budget Cresselia. Kee Berry allows you to raise your defense upon being hit by a physical move. Calm Mind is for raising your special attack and special defense. Stored Power is for STAB. Draining Kiss is for coverage against dark types like Guzzlord and Drapion and also provides healing. Heal Bell is for healing status conditons should you be inflicted with a status condition. Draining Kiss and Heal Bell can be replaced with Rest and Sleep Talk as a wincon once dark types on opposing teams are knocked out. 252 HP EVs help with your bulk. 184 Speed EVs with a Timid Nature allows you to outspeed Non Choice Scarf Max Speed Rotom-C. The rest of the EVs are dumped into defense.

Gen 9 NU Utility

Uxie @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic / Psychic Noise
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Pain Split

A Utility set Uxie can use in Gen 9 NU. Psychic is used for Uxie's Psychic STAB, as it has decent power to threaten Poison- and Fighting-types such as Qwilfish, Salazzle, Toxtricity, Flamigo, Hariyama, and Tauros-Paldea-Aqua. Psychic Noise is an option for the Psychic STAB since it prevents opposing Pokemon from recovering HP for two turns. Knock Off allows Uxie to cripple opposing Pokemon by removing their items. U-turn lets Uxie bring in a teammate and chip opposing Pokemon while doing so. Uxie gets Pain Split now thanks to DLC 2, meaning Uxie actually has reliable HP recovery that can also lower the HP of opposing Pokemon. Leftovers is used to give Uxie a little HP recovery each turn. Tera Fairy turns Uxie's Dark weakness into a resist. Tera Fairy also lets Uxie still resist Fighting moves.

252 HP EVs are used for bulk. 176 Speed EVs with a Timid Nature allows Uxie to outspeed Jolly Toxicroak. The rest of the EVs are used in Defense. Timid Nature is used since Uxie doesn't want to compromise its bulk with a Hasty or Naive Nature. Knock Off and U-turn are used for utility rather than damage output, which is why Timid Nature is used.
