Appearance

Uxie is a small, gray, fairy Pokemon but while it physically resembles a fairy, it’s not a Fairy type Pokemon. It has two gray tails that have red gems in them and its head is shaped similar to a helmet. Uxie always has its eyes closed.

Behavior

Those who look into Uxie’s eyes will have their memory wiped, which is why Uxie always keeps its eyes closed. When Uxie first emerged, humans gained intelligence to move society forward, leading some to believe that Uxie is responsible. Uxie is shy but will attack if the other lake guardians are in trouble.

How to catch Uxie in Pokemon Go?

Being that Uxie is a Legendary Pokemon, there’s only one way to acquire it. Recently, Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie, the lake guardians, were featured in a cycle of five star raid bosses. That is currently the only way to have caught any of them. They were each regionally based, and Uxie was in the Asia-Pacific region. Living there or getting invited to a remote raid was the only way to fight it.

Trivia

  1. Uxie is based on a pixie or fairy.
  2. Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit are the lake guardians, Legendary Pokemon from Generation IV.

FAQs

How big is Uxie?

Despite being a Legendary Pokemon, Uxie is extremely small. It stands just one foot tall and weighs 0.7 pounds, making it one of the lightest Pokemon in the game. Legendary Pokemon are often big, but not Uxie.

Is Uxie in Pokemon Sword and Shield?

No, none of the lake guardians appear in Pokemon Sword or Shield, whether in the main game or in any DLC. There are tons of Legendary Pokemon in Sword and Shield, including Zacian and Zamazenta, but Uxie and its companions aren’t among them.

Is there a shiny Uxie?

Yes. Uxie’s shiny version is an orangish tint with light yellow shades on its body instead of the grey and blue.

Conclusion

Being that Uxie is a Legendary Pokemon, it’s always good to have it in a team. Legendary Pokemon are always stronger, and Uxie is a great Psychic type to have around. Uxie is difficult to get in Pokemon Go, since it was a solely regional Legendary, but if you have one, consider yourself in good shape for it.
