Uxie (Analysis) [GP 2/2]

<p>Like most of its Psychic-type cousins, Uxie can set up both Reflect and Light Screen, a tactic commonly referred to as "dual screening". However, Uxie's immense bulk and movepool, including its ace in the hole, Memento, sets it apart from its fellow dual screeners. In conjunction with both Light Screen and Reflect, Memento's ability to harshly lower the foe's offensive stats nearly guarantees that a frail sweeper will survive even the most strongest of attacks, and since Uxie sacrifices itself in the process, said sweeper can be safely brought into the field. Memento can also be used as an emergency option to get a frail Pokemon in if Uxie does not have enough time to set up both screens. However, in some cases, it may be the best to keep Uxie alive for as long as possible, such as against stall teams, since Memento is useless against most walls and defensive Pokemon. Therefore, U-turn is listed as an alternate option. Yawn is listed in the last moveslot to give Uxie and its teammates an easier time setting up. However, this would leave Uxie vulnerable to Pokemon who can Taunt it, so Psychic is listed as an alternative to prevent the pixie from becoming Taunt bait.</p>
