BDSP Uxie Best Moveset
130/130 in both defenses with AbilityLevitate for Ground immunity on a Psychic-type. The moveset runs defensive support with real bulk from both sides. Dropped from A-tier to E because 75/75 offenses at 95 Speed provide no offensive pressure, and opponents set up freely against a wall that can't threaten back.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Uxie cleanly, with Future Sight and Dream Eater anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.
