Is Uxie good in Pokemon GO Battle League?

The Pokemon GO Battle League has three formats: Great, Ultra, and Master League. If you’re using Uxie in any of these battle modes, you should use Confusion, Future Sight, and Thunder, as they are its best moveset. While Confusion is its Fast Attack, Future Sight and Thunder are its Charged Attacks.

According to PvPoke, Uxie ranks #473 in the Great League, #237 in the Ultra League, and #413 in the Master League. This means the Legendary isn’t a great pick for the PvP play, even if you catch a Hundo from raids.

Pokemon that can counter Uxie in the Ultra League are as follows:

• Giratina (Altered): Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, and Shadow Sneak
• Jellicent: Hex, Shadow Ball, and Surf
• Steelix: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe, and Earthquake
• Talonflame: Incinerate*, Fly, and Flame Charge
• Cresselia: Psycho Cut, Grass Knot*, and Moonblast
• Dragonite (Shadow): Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw, and Superpower
• Umbreon: Snarl, Foul Play, and Last Resort*

Is Uxie good in Pokemon GO raids and Gym defense?

The best moveset for Uxie in the Pokemon GO PvE battle format is Extrasensory and Future Sight, which deals 9.99 DPS and has 387.21 TDO. Since these are Psychic-type moves, the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) effect will be activated. After that, Extrasensory will do 9.2 damage, and Future Sight will inflict 114 damage.

These moves are super-effective against Fighting and Poison-type Pokemon, so make sure you use Uxie when facing them in raids. Since Legendaries cannot be assigned a Gym-defending role, the critter has no work in this particular format.
