<p>While Uxie is usually found in a supporting role, where it sports high amounts of HP and defensive EVs, this Uxie aims to surprise opponents by hitting many common leads hard, often OHKOing those that are weak to its moves. Pokemon such as Omastar, Rhyperior, Venusaur, and Cloyster will expect Uxie to U-turn out in fear of their entry hazards or power only to be KOed by one of Uxie's moves. In addition, Uxie carries U-turn to help you quickly gain the upper hand after it has netted a kill. Uxie also lays down Stealth Rock rather easily thanks to its base 95 Speed and massive bulk. Even with no defensive investment, Uxie can take plenty of unboosted and neutral hits, which allows it to function as a bulky check to quite a few Pokemon. Lastly, its attacking prowess prevents it from becoming set-up fodder, unlike the defensive sets.</p>

<p>One viable option for Uxie to use is Thunder Wave over U-turn. While some players prefer having U-turn to gain momentum, Uxie will often be moving first, which allows the opponent to get a free hit on the next Pokemon that is sent in anyway. Thunder Wave can also cripple fast Pokemon that attempt to switch in and revenge kill Uxie, such as Mismagius, Sceptile, and Houndoom. Another option is to use Grass Knot over Energy Ball, since Energy Ball will not always OHKO Rhyperior, whereas Grass Knot will. Another advantage Grass Knot has is that Milotic is hit noticeably harder. However, Uxie will lose the ability to OHKO Cloyster and Omastar. If more power is desired, Life Orb is an option to net some kills that Expert Belt cannot. Lum Berry is useful for beating lead Venusaur as well as taking Thunder Wave from the likes of lead Mesprit and Uxie. Leftovers can be used to gain more survivability, but this is not recommended since Uxie is already lacking in power as it is. </p>
<p>While Mesprit is usually the better of the pixies to lead with if power is desired, Uxie can function just as well, if not better. Pokemon such as Moltres, Venusaur, and Kabutops are all faster than or tie with Mesprit and can all deal serious damage to it, often to the point where Mesprit has to choose between knocking out the opposing lead or laying down Stealth Rock. Uxie's bulk, on the other hand, often enables it to survive hits Mesprit cannot. Uxie's base 95 Speed also allows it to outpace quite a few Pokemon that Mesprit cannot. Uxie's Special Attack score, however, does not quite match Mesprit's, which can often lead to missing out on a few kills that Mesprit would normally get.</p>
