Uxie, the Lake Guardian of knowledge, is returning to Asia-Pacific 5-star Raid Battles starting tomorrow, 5 August. Singapore trainers have a full week — 5 to 11 August — to chase this regional exclusive, and Shiny Uxie is on the table for every trainer who clears the raid. If you haven’t got one yet, this is your window.
Event Dates and How to Join
Uxie appears in local 5-star Gym eggs from Wednesday 5 August at 6:00 AM until Tuesday 11 August at 10:00 PM (both in your local Singapore time). You’ll spot it by the 5-star egg tier on any Gym — tap in, fill your lobby, and battle. As part of the ongoing Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers event, there’s already solid raid activity across the city, so finding lobbies at popular stops should be straightforward.
Region Map — Who Gets Which Lake Guardian?
The three Lake Guardians split by region every time they rotate in, and the split for 5–11 August is:
- Asia-Pacific (including Singapore): Uxie
- Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India: Mesprit
- The Americas and Greenland: Azelf
This matters because these three are genuine regional exclusives — you cannot encounter Uxie outside Asia-Pacific during a standard rotation. If you want Mesprit or Azelf, you’ll need to raid remotely with a friend in those regions.
How to Beat Uxie — Weaknesses and Best Counters
Uxie is a pure Psychic-type, which gives it three clear weaknesses: Bug, Dark, and Ghost. It resists Fighting and Psychic moves, so avoid those. Its unusually high Defence stat means Uxie hits harder on the clock than its Attack suggests — bring 3 to 4 trainers for a comfortable clear.
Top picks for your Uxie raid team:
- Necrozma (Dawn Wings) — Snarl + Shadow Ball
- Mega Mewtwo Y — Shadow Claw + Shadow Ball
- Mega Tyranitar — Bite + Brutal Swing
- Shadow Hydreigon — Bite + Brutal Swing
- Darkrai — Snarl + Shadow Ball
- Chandelure — Hex + Shadow Ball
- Shadow Tyranitar — Bite + Brutal Swing
- Mega Absol — Snarl + Dark Pulse
Dark- and Ghost-type attackers are your best DPS. If you’re running a smaller group of 2–3, stack your top shadows and Megas. Windy weather boosts Uxie’s Psychic moves — plan accordingly.
Raid Hour: Wednesday 5 August, 6–7 PM
The Raid Hour on Wednesday 5 August from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM SGT is the single best window of the week. During that hour, Gyms across Singapore will have a significantly higher number of 5-star Raid eggs — Uxie in every one of them. Completing in-person raids during Raid Hour also earns you Rare Candy XL, which is worth stacking if you’re building out a powered-up Uxie for PvP. Coordinate a raid group at a busy Pokestop cluster (Orchard, Marina Bay, Dhoby Ghaut) for the easiest lobbies.
Can You Get a Shiny Uxie?
Yes — Shiny Uxie is available from every eligible raid encounter. Normal Uxie has a pale cream-and-blue colour palette; the Shiny form swaps that out for a warm golden-yellow body, which makes it immediately recognisable on the catch screen. The shiny rate on Legendary raids is roughly 1 in 20, so running multiple raids over the week gives you a realistic shot. Raid Hour is your best single opportunity to burn through several in one go.
What CP Is a Perfect Uxie?
After the raid, watch for these catch CPs to identify a high-IV Uxie:
- 1,442 CP — perfect 100% IV at standard Level 20 encounter
- 1,803 CP — 100% IV weather-boosted (Level 25, triggered by Windy weather)
Use a Golden Razz Berry and throw a Curveball for the best catch rate. Because Uxie’s IV floor from raids is 10/10/10, any catch already has decent stats — but if you’re targeting the Great League, be aware you may want to trade to reroll IVs, since raid catches are locked above the 1,500 CP cap without powering down very far.
