Get ready for the raids.
The Road to Sinnoh event will see Uxie return to Pokémon GO raids on Wednesday February 22. The Lake trio in Pokémon GO are all region specific, so Uxie will be available in the Asia-Pacific region (or by remote raids).
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.
Lake Trio Raid Guides:
Best Uxie counters in Pokémon GO:
Uxie is a Psychic-type Pokémon meaning it is weak to Bug, Dark and Ghost-type Pokémon.
Here are the best Uxie counters in Pokémon GO:
 Mega Tyranitar Bite & Brutal Swing |  Mega Gengar Lick & Shadow Ball |  Shadow Chandelure Hex & Shadow Ball |  Mega Houndoom Snarl & Foul Play |  Hydreigon Bite & Brutal Swing |  Origin Forme Giratina Shadow Claw & Shadow Force |  Darkrai Snark & Shadow Ball |  Mega Scizor Fury Cutter & X-Scissor |  Volcarona Bug Bite & Bug Buzz |  Guzzlord Snarl & Brutal Swing |  Weavile Snark & Foul Play |  Yveltal Snark & Dark Pulse |
There is a wide range of Pokémon that Uxie is weak too available. Mega Tyranitar is by far the most powerful Uxie counter, and if you have any in your storage they are well worth using. Non-mega Tyranitar is also a good pick, so if you have several make sure to use them all.
Darkrai, who is Monday's road to Sinnoh tour event raid boss, is also a great pick. Maybe try and grab one or two of those if you plan to raid Uxie on Wednesday.
