huh?
Another of the Pokemon sent to Ubers from Standard OU due to being too influental in the meta. Deoxys-S has found a home in Dreamworld where he can happily take the throne of being the premier Dual Screener. But what is this? Thundurus is lurking in the shadows ready to taunt Deoxys-S before it can even set rocks!
There are three things Deoxys-S was famous for being able to easily achieve in the Standard OU metagame before he got sent packing. Those three things were:
Deoxys-S @ Light Clay
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SPD / 252 SPE
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
~ Light Screen
~ Reflect
~ Taunt
~ Stealth Rock / Spikes
Deoxys-S @ Focus Sash
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SPE
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
~ Stealth Rock
~ Spikes
~ Taunt
~ Superpower / Hidden Power Fire
Deoxys-S @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 12 ATK / 244 SpA / 252 SPE
nature: Naive (+Spe, -SpD)
~ Psycho Boost / Psychic
~ Ice Beam
~ Thunderbolt
~ Superpower
The diversity Deoxys-S is able to run will leave many an opponent guessing until its first move is made on the field, and then you'll be left scrambling to either prevent it from setting up full screens, atleast 2 layers of hazards, or killing off key pokemon on your team. Will deoxys-S meet the same fate he did in Standard OU due to how diverse it is? that's for us to decide.
