Any use for Xatu?

I caught a fairly good Natu a while back that I later evolved into a Xatu (battle with the best, atk, best I've ever seen). Does it have any actual use in the metagame or even in raids? It's currently the only psychic pokemon I have with future sight and it has air slash as a quick move.

Omgniceeee.

As a person living in a small town where it's rare to find other people to do raids with, that's going to be super useful. Thanks^^

Agreed, I can't wait to acquire six perfect 100% Xatus that I can TM to this moveset, and power up to level 40, in order to solo Machamp. This will be much better than doing it with easily obtainable level 30 Espeons and Alakazams.

Wow... so my 100% Xatu could be a good addition to my team I guess. I won't be filling it with Xatus though but I guess now it might have a spot next to my Hurricane Dragonite, my 100% Exeggutor, and well... still pondering if I should TM my Alakazam or wait for an abra nest. It has Focus Blast and Confusion. I need to find a good Eevee for Espeon.

Xatu has the same attack as Lugia... but nearly half the defense and stamina.

they are slightly better than a Pidgey for holding a gym. so I evolve a 1550 CP Xatu and toss it in a gym and throw him away when he comes back. I've probably done that 10 times.

I actually had a 100% xatu though i may have trasferred it. Honestly hate. Dumb design. Looks ridiculous with its animations. Just lame. What ever floats your boat. Different strokes for different folks. A mans house is his castle. One mans trash is another mans treasure. One mans loss is another mans gain. Touch on wood. If a bear poohs in thewoods does it still make a sound? If you drop your toast the buttered side always hits the floor. 5 second rule. Too much of a good thing isbad. Look at ozzy Osbourne. How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?
