A Utility set Uxie can use in Gen 9 NU. Psychic is used for Uxie's Psychic STAB, as it has decent power to threaten Poison- and Fighting-types such as Qwilfish, Salazzle, Toxtricity, Flamigo, Hariyama, and Tauros-Paldea-Aqua. Psychic Noise is an option for the Psychic STAB since it prevents opposing Pokemon from recovering HP for two turns. Knock Off allows Uxie to cripple opposing Pokemon by removing their items. U-turn lets Uxie bring in a teammate and chip opposing Pokemon while doing so. Uxie gets Pain Split now thanks to DLC 2, meaning Uxie actually has reliable HP recovery that can also lower the HP of opposing Pokemon. Leftovers is used to give Uxie a little HP recovery each turn. Tera Fairy turns Uxie's Dark weakness into a resist. Tera Fairy also lets Uxie still resist Fighting moves.
252 HP EVs are used for bulk. 176 Speed EVs with a Timid Nature allows Uxie to outspeed Jolly Toxicroak. The rest of the EVs are used in Defense. Timid Nature is used since Uxie doesn't want to compromise its bulk with a Hasty or Naive Nature. Knock Off and U-turn are used for utility rather than damage output, which is why Timid Nature is used.
