Uxie

Status: Testing sets || working on skeleton

Overview:

Not many changes in 5th generation

Base 95 Speed is relatively fast for a defenvie oriented Pokemon

Good typing and ability

Being weak to Pursuit and U-Turn is minor problem due to its high defense

Great support movepool

Not more than medicore offensive stats making it a minor choice for a sweeper

Rivalry with Cresselia. Additional support moves vs. 'reliable' recovery move

[SET]
name: TrickScarf
move 1: Trick
move 2: Stealth Rock
move 3: U-Turn
move 4: Psychic / Thunder Wave
item: Choice Scarf
nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Def / 152 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Works well as a lead but also mid-game

Trick to cripple potent walls, shuts down set up sweepers

U-Turn for field advantage, great synergy with Trick

Psychic for STAB, offers decent damage output when needed

Thunder Wave for team support, best use after Trick

Without Scarf still faster than neutral Base 82 (incl. Adamant 252 Spe EV Gyarados)

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Spe EVs meant to outspeed anything up to base 130's with Choice Scarf

Like all Psychic types, it lures in Pursuit users and many Steel types, including Ferrothorn and Excadrill

Fire-types like Heatran are best paired with it

Counters Conkeldurr easily

[SET]
name: Support
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: U-Turn
move 3: Psychic / Heal Bell
move 4: Thunder Wave / Yawn / Heal Bell
item: Leftovers
nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]

Sets up Stealth Rock easily while being able to take most opposing hits

U-Turn for scouting opponents switch-ins and puts you in a better position

Psychic again your main STAB move to deal some damage

Thunder Wave to stop set up sweepers

Yawn to force switches, with new sleep mechanics quite hard to counter

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Heal Bell to heal team mates from any unwelcome status problems

Makes a good healing partner with Wish Vaporeon

..

[SET]
name: DualScreener
move 1: Reflect
move 2: Lightscreen
move 3: U-Turn
move 4: Psychic / Stealth Rock
item: Light Clay
nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Access to good speed and great natural bulk makes it an excellent dual screener

U-Turn to pseudo pass the screens

Last slot generally best to use Psychic

If your team still lacks SR support, feel free to use it

..

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Allows strong but frail sweepers to be more efficient

..

[SET]
name: Trick Room
move 1: Trick Room
move 2: Yawn
move 3: U-Turn
move 4: Psychic
item: Leftovers
nature: Relaxed

[SET COMMENTS]

Has easy time to set up Trick Room

Yawn to force switches and gives the turn needed to set up

U-Turn to pass to a team mate to abuse Trick Room

Psychic for STAB and all those fighting types

..

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

Powerful slow Pokemon are obviously best to pair up with this set:

Physical: Metagross, Conkeldurr, Druddigon, Tyranitar, Machamp, Rhyperior, Gorlurk, Escavalier

Special: Musharna, Slowbro, Magnezone, Porygon2

..

This hasn't seen a single edit in nearly a month. Closing under inactivity and moving to L&O. I'll be letting someone else claim this analysis.
