Hey guys, so this is the Uxie set I've been using recently as a sun supporter.
Uxie @ Heat Rock
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 236 SDef / 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 16 Spd
Calm Nature
- U-turn
- Sunny Day
- Memento
- Magic Coat
Looks like a reasonably standard bulky Uxie in terms of ability, EVs and such, outspeeding Crawdaunt before it can Substitute. Uxie however makes a terrific lead against many Pokemon and a terrific sun supporter even outside of the lead spot. Sunny Day is as obvious as obvious moves come. It sets up 6 or 7 turns of Sun and paves the way for my sweepers to go to town. The way is does that is through th combinatin of Memento and U-Turn. Memento is a very nifty move I'm sure everyone knows that sacrifices Uxie but brings in a sweeper against a crippled opponent. My typical Memento receive is the dangerous Special Sweeper Victreebel who OHKOs every single Pokemon in the tier after Stealth Rock damage bar Munchlax and Mandibuzz. Should I wish to preserve the life of Uxie or should I wish to bring in one of my Fire-types, U-turn is a handy option (also useful for breaking Whimsicott subs). I typically U-Turn into my Scarfed Emboar who can then threaten the metagame with his STABs and coverage. I also use Typhlosion, who appreciates being brought in by both moves. Magic Coat is a nifty little move that occasionally becomes the crux of the set, especially when leading. When in the lead position, Magic Coat allows me to counter opposing hazards to make it easier for my sweepers to break down walls, as well as completely countering Smeargle forcing it to either Spore itself, or lay hazards for me.
This set can also be used on a Rain team, allowing Pokemon such as Kabutops to set u safely, or alternatively can run Psychic over Sunny Day to simply give Pokemon such as Lilligant or Klinklang a worriless set up opportunity.
