Pokémon Go Uxie counters, weaknesses and moveset explained

Uxie, known as the Knowledge Pokémon, is available in both Pokémon Go raids and the wild. However, it is classified as a regional exclusive Legendary Pokémon, primarily found in Asia. While it can technically spawn in the wild in Asia and the Pacific, the majority of players will likely encounter it only as a raid boss, serving mainly as a Pokédex filler.

Uxie shares its status with other Lake Guardians, such as Mesprit and Azelf. When appearing in raids, Uxie has a five-star rating, which means it can be a formidable opponent. Depending on your Pokémon’s strength, teaming up with other trainers may be necessary. Thanks to Remote Raiding features, players can now participate in raids from home.

Everything We Know About Uxie

Despite being the Knowledge Pokémon, Uxie has a mysterious aura. Its Pokédex entry describes it as “The Being of Knowledge,” with the ability to erase the memories of those who gaze into its eyes. This notion of memory manipulation adds to its enigmatic presence.

Uxie belongs to a trio of Lake Guardians along with Mesprit and Azelf, all sharing a design reminiscent of fae creatures. Uxie’s name, derived from the word “pixie,” reflects this fairy-like theme.

Each Lake Guardian possesses names inspired by various fantasy creatures. Uxie’s name also hints at personal pronouns, with “you” being a significant influence. All three originally appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl alongside the Creation trio, which includes Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.
