For the final month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Tapu Fini, Tapu Buli, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit, with Shadow Raids featuring Regirock on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Houndoom, Mega Gyrados, Mega Altaria, and Mega Kangaskhan.

Top Uxie Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Uxie counters as such:
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Shadow Claw, Moongeist Beam
- Mega Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
- Mega Gengar: Lick, Shadow Ball
- Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Chandelure: Hex, Shadow Ball
- Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play
- Shadow Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
- Mega Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Uxie with efficiency.
- Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Darkrai: Snarl, Shadow Ball
- Blacephalon: Astonish, Shadow Ball
- Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Black Kyurem: Shadow Claw, Freeze Shock
- Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
- Dragapult: Astonish, Shadow Ball
- Gholdengo: Hex, Shadow Ball
- Hoopa Unbound: Astonish, Shadow Ball
- Hoopa Confined: Astonish, Shadow Ball
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Uxie can be defeated with three trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have four or more players. Uxie will be the most difficult to take down of the Lake Trio. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Uxie will have a CP of 1442 in normal weather conditions and 1803 in boosted conditions.
