PU uxie

[avarice]

[OVERVIEW]
Uxie stands out as a great pivot in PU thanks to its natural Speed, bulk, and support options. Uxie's Speed allows it to pivot out with U-turn before Pokemon like Aggron can otherwise muscle past it. Uxie is able to check weaker physical attackers such as Lycanroc and Archeops and potentially cripple them with Thunder Wave or Knock Off, but it can be worn down due to the lack of reliable recovery. Uxie competes with Xatu, (AC) which has consistent recovery and Teleport. Uxie is also rather passive and can be used as setup fodder by Pokemon like Scrafty.

[SET COMMENTS]
Uxie is able to consistently set Stealth Rock with its natural bulk and pivot against entry hazard removers that it cannot do much to like Claydol and Silvally-Steel. Knock Off is helpful for crippling other passive Pokemon like Gigalith and Aromatisse. Alternatively, Thunder Wave is a great tool for stopping setup sweepers that do not mind Psychic such as Mesprit and Silvally-Fairy. Memento is also an option to support frailer setup sweepers such as Ribombee and Absol. Colbur Berry allows Uxie to stay in against opposing Knock Off users like Absol and hinder it with Thunder Wave or pivot out and get some chip damage. Leftovers is another option to let Uxie stay healthy, as it has no consistent recovery of its own. While Uxie's bulk is well-rounded, it can struggle with stronger special attackers like Ribombee and Charizard due to the lack of Special Defense investment. Specially defensive Pokemon such as Silvally-Steel and Lanturn can help cover for Uxie so it will not be overwhelmed by these special attackers. Uxie is able to take advantage of U-turn to get wallbreakers like Absol and Guzzlord in safely or form pivot cores with Pokemon such as Passimian and Heliolisk. Aromatisse helps Uxie against Dark-types like Absol and Guzzlord and can provide Wish support and Uxie handles Poison-types in return.

[OVERVIEW]
Uxie has solid bulk and a plethora of utility options making it a great pivot in PU. It can comfortably switch into most physical attackers. such as? Uxie can also serve as a weather or dual screens setter. Could also mention here that Uxie's high Speed on top of its better defenses and access to Memento are reasons to use Uxie as a Screens/Weather setter. Levitate somewhat makes up for Uxie's typing which leaves much to be desired defensively. However, Uxie still faces competition from Xatu as a support Pokemon and struggles to be threatening outside of spreading Thunder Wave or Knock Off. I wouldn't even say this is trying to be "threatening" tbh. The first portion of this sentence in regards to being compared to Xatu is fine, but I'd like to see some positivity in regards to Uxie having Knock Off and U-turn comparatively to Xatu (yeah I know Xatu has U-turn but you get what I mean). I think you could actually rewrite this sentence to transition into Uxie's negatives by saying something like "Uxie's diverse movepool consists of utility options from the likes of Knock Off, Stealth Rock, Memento, and U-turn, however it struggles to compare to Xatu due to x, y, and z".

[SET COMMENTS]
Uxie is able to consistently get up Stealth Rock with its natural bulk. Could add a comment here about gaining momentum with U-turn versus hazard removers who aren't threatened at all by Uxie like Claydol, Silvally-Steel, etc. Knock Off is helpful for crippling other passive Pokemon like Gigalith and Vaporeon. Alternatively, Thunder Wave is a great tool for stopping set-up sweepers that do not mind Psychic such as Omastar or Silvally-Fairy. Colbur Berry allows Uxie to stay in against opposing Knock Off users like Absol and hinder it with Thunder Wave or pivot out and get some chip damage. Leftovers is another option to let Uxie stay healthy as it has no consistent recovery of its own. While Uxie's bulk is well-rounded, it can struggle with stronger special attackers due to the lack of investment. such as? Specially Defensive Pokemon such as Lanturn and Silvally-Steel can help cover Uxie so it will not be overwhelmed by special attackers like Heliolisk. I think the sentence in regards to Aromatisse (below) is much more importantly needed than including something about Heliolisk (also include another example than just Helio) first, so could possibly reposition the sentences about teammates here. Uxie is able to take advantage of U-turn to get wallbreakers like Absol and Abomasnow in safely or form pivot cores with Pokemon such as Passimian and Heliolisk. I'd like to see you mention Aromatisse here as well since Uxie commonly invites in Darks like Absol, Guzzlord, or Scrafty - so having a Fairy with reliable recovery can be meaningful in these scenarios. On top of that, Aromatisse appreciates Uxie for being able to check the Poisons like Garb and isn't affected by Toxic Spikes, whilst Uxie loves Tisse's abilities to pass Wishes to it since it lacks recovery.

You mention Screens / Weather in the intro paragraph about Uxie, but there isn't anything listed here in regards to a set for using it. Was this a demand by the other QCers and PU higher-ups to not include this or did you just not write it since that set isn't super commonplace / classifies as a gimmicky idea? Anyways, good work bean !

[OVERVIEW]
Uxie has solid bulk and a plethora of utility options making it a great pivot in PU. It can comfortably switch into physical attackers like Archeops and Talonflame. (on its own, this sentence feels like an incomplete thought. either combine it with the previous one or elaborate on why this is useful.) Uxie can also serve as a reliable weather or dual screens setter with its solid speed stat, compressing Stealth Rock and Memento support. (not worth mentioning here if there's only one set and it doesn't have either a weather move or dual screens on it.) Uxie's diverse movepool of utility options include Knock Off, Stealth Rock, Memento, and U-turn. However, it struggles to compare to Xatu due to lacking reliable recovery or Teleport.

the overall structure of this overview needs work. it starts off strong by mentioning uxie's bulk and utility options before more or less just weirdly combining and listing information about uxie. it then ends by repeating itself about uxie's utility options, only now they're explicitly mentioned before uxie is compared to xatu.

my suggestion would be to start by mentioning uxie's great utility movepool and bulk, explain why both of these qualities are useful (capable of providing immense support for its team + reliably checking stuff like x, y, and z), highlight its speed compared to other defensive mons, and finish with its downsides, those being its passivity, lack of recovery, and competition with xatu, which you do mention.

Leftovers is another option to let Uxie stay healthy, (AC) as it has no consistent recovery of its own. While Uxie's bulk is well-rounded it can struggle with stronger special attackers like Ribombee or Charizard due to the lack of investment. Specially defensive Pokemon such as Lanturn and Silvally-Steel (put steelvally first and lanturn second, the current order implies the former checks charizard.) can help cover Uxie so it will not be overwhelmed by special attackers like Heliolisk. Uxie is able to take advantage of U-turn to get wallbreakers like Absol and Abomasnow in safely or form pivot cores with Pokemon such as Passimian and Heliolisk. Aromatisse helps Uxie against Dark-types like Absol or Guzzlord and can provide Wish support. (in return, uxie handles poison-types.) Uxie can be a weather or dual screens setter with Memento on offensive teams but is vulnerable to Pokemon such as Taunt Lycanroc and Encore Whimsicott, unlike Xatu which can also prevent Defog from removing screens with Magic Bounce. (while recommending alternative moves is fine in this section, idt it's worth recommending entirely different sets.) (edit: keep the memento mention and move it to where you discuss uxie's moveset, though; solid alternative option when you have frailer setup sweepers.)

lmk when you implement this, i want to make sure the overview is ironed out before officially stamping

[OVERVIEW]
Uxie stands out as a great pivot in PU between its bulk, support options, and natural speed. Uxie is able to reliably check common physical attackers such as Talonflame and Archeops and potentially cripple them with Thunder Wave or Knock Off. (slightly less absolute this way.) Uxie's speed allows it to U-turn before Pokemon like Aggron can otherwise muscle past it. However, Uxie is still competing with Xatu which has reliable recovery and Teleport. Uxie is also rather passive and can be used as setup fodder by Pokemon like Scrafty.

Uxie stands out as a great pivot in PU between its bulk, support options, and natural speed. Uxie is able to reliably check common physical attackers such as Lycanroc and Archeops and potentially cripple them with Thunder Wave or Knock Off this feels worth clarifying slightly, Uxie 1v1s things well but doesn't really switch into much. I think that would help get across what makes it more unique. Uxie's speed allows it to U-turn before Pokemon like Aggron can otherwise muscle past it. However, Uxie is still competing with Xatu which has reliable recovery and Teleport. Uxie is also rather passive and can be used as setup fodder by Pokemon like Scrafty.

Knock Off is helpful for crippling other passive Pokemon like Gigalith and Aromatisse.
