Singapore trainers have a full week \u2014 5 to 11 August \u2014 to chase this regional exclusive, and Shiny Uxie is on the table for every trainer who clears the raid. If you haven\u2019t got one yet, this is your window.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/uxie-mesprit-azelf-raid-pokemon-go.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf in Pokemon GO raid battles\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Niantic \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Event Dates and How to Join<\/h2>\n<p>Uxie appears in local 5-star Gym eggs from <strong>Wednesday 5 August at 6:00 AM<\/strong> until <strong>Tuesday 11 August at 10:00 PM<\/strong> (both in your local Singapore time). You\u2019ll spot it by the 5-star egg tier on any Gym \u2014 tap in, fill your lobby, and battle. As part of the ongoing <a href=\"\/blog\/pokemon-go-shiny-snom-arctic-embers-august-2026\/\">Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers event<\/a>, there\u2019s already solid raid activity across the city, so finding lobbies at popular stops should be straightforward.<\/p>\n<h2>Region Map \u2014 Who Gets Which Lake Guardian?<\/h2>\n<p>The three Lake Guardians split by region every time they rotate in, and the split for 5\u201311 August is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Asia-Pacific<\/strong> (including Singapore): <strong>Uxie<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India<\/strong>: Mesprit<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Americas and Greenland<\/strong>: Azelf<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This matters because these three are genuine regional exclusives \u2014 you cannot encounter Uxie outside Asia-Pacific during a standard rotation. If you want Mesprit or Azelf, you\u2019ll need to raid remotely with a friend in those regions.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Beat Uxie \u2014 Weaknesses and Best Counters<\/h2>\n<p>Uxie is a pure <strong>Psychic-type<\/strong>, which gives it three clear weaknesses: <strong>Bug<\/strong>, <strong>Dark<\/strong>, and <strong>Ghost<\/strong>. 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 \u2014 bring 3 to 4 trainers for a comfortable clear.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/uxie-mesprit-azelf-raid-counters.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Best counters for Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf in Pokemon GO\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Niantic \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Top picks for your Uxie raid team:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Necrozma (Dawn Wings)<\/strong> \u2014 Snarl + Shadow Ball<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mega Mewtwo Y<\/strong> \u2014 Shadow Claw + Shadow Ball<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mega Tyranitar<\/strong> \u2014 Bite + Brutal Swing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shadow Hydreigon<\/strong> \u2014 Bite + Brutal Swing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Darkrai<\/strong> \u2014 Snarl + Shadow Ball<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chandelure<\/strong> \u2014 Hex + Shadow Ball<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shadow Tyranitar<\/strong> \u2014 Bite + Brutal Swing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mega Absol<\/strong> \u2014 Snarl + Dark Pulse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dark- and Ghost-type attackers are your best DPS. If you\u2019re running a smaller group of 2\u20133, stack your top shadows and Megas. Windy weather boosts Uxie\u2019s Psychic moves \u2014 plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2>Raid Hour: Wednesday 5 August, 6\u20137 PM<\/h2>\n<p>The Raid Hour on <strong>Wednesday 5 August from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM<\/strong> SGT is the single best window of the week. During that hour, Gyms across Singapore will have a <strong>significantly higher number of 5-star Raid eggs<\/strong> \u2014 Uxie in every one of them. Completing in-person raids during Raid Hour also earns you <strong>Rare Candy XL<\/strong>, which is worth stacking if you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Get a Shiny Uxie?<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/shiny-uxie-pokemon-go.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Shiny Uxie in Pokemon GO \u2014 golden yellow appearance\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Niantic \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yes \u2014 Shiny Uxie is available from every eligible raid encounter. Normal Uxie has a pale cream-and-blue colour palette; the <strong>Shiny form swaps that out for a warm golden-yellow body<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n<h2>What CP Is a Perfect Uxie?<\/h2>\n<p>After the raid, watch for these catch CPs to identify a high-IV Uxie:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1,442 CP<\/strong> \u2014 perfect 100% IV at standard Level 20 encounter<\/li>\n<li><strong>1,803 CP<\/strong> \u2014 100% IV weather-boosted (Level 25, triggered by Windy weather)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use a <strong>Golden Razz Berry<\/strong> and throw a Curveball for the best catch rate. Because Uxie\u2019s IV floor from raids is 10\/10\/10, any catch already has decent stats \u2014 but if you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p>The full Singapore Pokemon GO event schedule for the week is covered in our <a href=\"\/blog\/pokemon-go-shiny-snom-arctic-embers-august-2026\/\">Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers guide<\/a>.
