I believe Uxie can make good use of the move 'Imprison' in its Support set. That move is Uxie's only way of stopping slower leads (and Uxie is pretty fast for such a bulky Pokémon) from setting up Stealth Rock, since it doesn't learn Taunt.

As an added bonus, it renders Scizor unable to use U-Turn, and Uxie will always outspeed even max speed Adamant Scizor with minimal EV investment (20 Spd).

The Support set's moveset would then look like this:

~Stealth Rock
~U-Turn
~Yawn
~Thunderbolt / Psychic / Protect / Imprison
