Overview
########
+Really cool, varied movepool
+Greath supporting Pokemon
-Entirely mediocre stats
-Unable to effectively utilize a portion of its movepool
-Weak to the ever-more common Knock Off
Dual Screens
########
name: Dual Screens
move 1: Yawn / Thunder Wave / Stealth Rock
move 2: Light Screen
move 3: Reflect
move 4: Psychic
ability: Levitate
item: Light Clay
evs: 252 HP / 40 SpD / 216 Spe
nature: Timid
Moves
========
- Thunder Wave slows opposing Pokemon and makes it easier to switch out into another Pokemon, probably a Pokemon that intends to set up. However, it can be blocked by the many Electric- and Ground-types in the tier.
- Yawn can be used to force the opponent to switch out, giving Uxie a chance to switch as well
- Stealth Rock is causes damage to the opponent on enemy switch in, which discourages enemies from constantly switching in and out.
- Light Screen and Reflect help Uxie's allies survive while setting up and attacking.
- U-turn or Memento help to keep momentum up. The difference is that U-turn keeps Uxie alive but makes it more difficult for its ally to set up, while Memento seriously facilitates the subsequent set up but makes Uxie faint.
Set Details
========
- Light Clay increases the duration of Light Screen and Reflect.
- Maximize Health for increased longevity. Increasing Speed helps to potentially get screens up before Uxie is hit by an attack.
- Timid increased Speed at the expense of Attack.
- Levitate gives Uxie immunity to Ground-type attacks.
Usage Tips
========
- Uxie's entire purpose is to help allies set up.
- Stealth Rock are most useful if used in the beginning of the match.
- Set up the Light Screen or Reflect depending on what kind of Pokemon is presently matched up against Uxie.
- Follow up with U-turn or Memento in order to maintain momentum.
Team Options
========
- Pokemon that appreciate dual screens, like Yanmega.
- These same Pokemon tend to appreciate Stealth Rock, as it eases the damage they need to put out to be a significant threat.
- Pokemon that discourage Defog through Defiant, like Braviary or Tornadus, and Pokemon that block Rapid Spin, like Doublade and Banette.
Other Options
########
- Special Sweeper with a Choice Scarf or Calm Mind
- Other utility moves: Heal Bell, Thunder Wave, Knock Off, Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Toxic, Trick, Trick Room, Yawn, Magic Coat
- RestTalk
- Elemental Punches are pretty cool
Checks & Counters
########
**Knock Off**: Not only does Knock Off hit Uxie for super effective damage, it removes Light Clay, meaning that Light Screen and Reflect will stay up for five turns instead of eight turns.
**Taunt**: Taunt stops Uxie from running any of these moves, with the exception of U-turn. This keeps it from being useful to its team and forces it to switch out.
**Defog**: Defog, from the likes of Gligar or Golbat, not only removes Stealth Rock from the opposing side, but removes both screens.
**Offensive Typing Advantage**: There are many Dark-types in the tier, such as Zoroark, Sharpedo, and Skuntank, deal quick and powerful super effective attacks to Uxie.
