Prepare to beat Uxie in Pokémon GO.
Uxie is back in Pokémon GO Raids for the first time since the Sinnoh Tour, and is avaliable from Pokémon May 12 until May 25. The Lake trio in Pokémon GO are all region specific, so Uxie will be only available in the Asia-Pacific region in person. If you're outside that area you'll need to use Remote Raids to add this Pokémon to your collection.
Uxie is not the most powerful Pokémon in terms of offence. However it does have a bulky defence stat, which makes it the hardest of the Lake trio to take down in raids.
This Uxie Pokémon GO raid guide will give you everything you need to win your raids.

Best Uxie counters in Pokémon GO:
Uxie is a Psychic-type Pokémon, giving it a weakness to Bug, Dark and Ghost-type attacks.
Here are the best Uxie counters in Pokémon GO:
 Dawn Wings Necrozma Shadow Claw & Moongeist Beam |  Mega Tyranitar Bite & Brutal Swing |  Mega Absol Snarl & Brutal Swing |  Mega Gengar Lick & Shadow Ball |  Mega Houndoom Snarl & Foul Play |  Mega Rayquaza Dragon Tail & Dragon Ascent |  Tyranitar Bite & Brutal Swing |  Hydregion Bite & Brutal Swing |  Dusk Mane Necrozma Shadow Claw & Sunsteel Strike |  Darkrai Snarl & Shadow Ball |  Black Kyurem Shadow Claw & Freeze Shock |  Origin Forme Giratina Shadow Claw & Shadow Force |  Hoopa Unbound Astonish & Shadow Ball |  Blacephalon Astonish & Shadow Ball |  Dragapult Astonish & Shadow Ball |
Since we last saw Uxie in Pokémon GO, there is a wide range of new options to take on this Raid in Pokémon GO. That includes the super powerful Dawn Wings Necrozma, which has the hard hitting Moongeist Beam Charged Attack. This Pokémon is better than all Mega Evolution options, and you aren't limited to just one of these in your Raid team.
Otherwise, strong options include Mega Tyranitar or Mega Absol. Mega Absol needs Brutal Swing, which was avaliable during the recent Mega Absol Raid Day. Additionally, Black Kyurem, Hoopa Unbound and Blacephalon have all also been in Raids recently and are good counters to use here.
There are also some easily accessible budget options, including Hydregion and standard form Tyranitar.
