 I solved this with an xy-wing.
 
 Below is a grid that had me stumped for quite awhile. Yes, more basics have to be taken out before getting to the xy-wing.
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +---------------+---------+------------------+
 | 7  1345 13459 | 13 8  2 | 359   359   6    |
 | 58 2    35    | 7  9  6 | 358   1     4    |
 | 89 13   6     | 13 4  5 | 89    7     2    |
 +---------------+---------+------------------+
 | 26 156  1259  | 59 3  4 | 7     569   8    |
 | 59 7    359   | 6  2  8 | 1359  4     1359 |
 | 4  356  8     | 59 1  7 | 23569 23569 359  |
 +---------------+---------+------------------+
 | 1  8    57    | 2  67 9 | 4     356   357  |
 | 26 9    257   | 4  67 3 | 1256  8     157  |
 | 3  46   247   | 8  5  1 | 269   269   79   |
 +---------------+---------+------------------+
