So yeah, what's coming:

Choice Band
Choice Specs
Perhaps a mixed set too

Deoxys-A

Overview:

[OVERVIEW]
-Highest Attack and Special Attack in the game
-3rd lowest defense in the game, lowest spdef
-Is OHKO'd by almost anything, best used as a hit and run Pokemon
-Base 150 speed stat allows Deoxys-A to still outspeed almost anything



[SET]
name: Life Orb
move 1: Ice Beam
move 2: Thunder
move 3: Low Kick/Superpower
move 4: Psycho Shock/Shadow Ball

[SET COMMENTS]

  • The Life Orb set from 4th gen makes a return
  • Ice Beam and Thunder give great coverage in ubers
  • low kick is generally at full power in ubers, making it the prefered option
  • Psycho Shock is a way to eliminate pesky Blissey that switch in on Deoxys-A
  • Safest set to use, as you can easily be trapped by pursuit on a choice set


[SET]
name: Choice Specs
move 1: Psycho Boost/Psycho Shock
move 2: Ice Beam
move 3: Focus Blast
move 4: Shadow Ball
nature: Timid
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA /252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

  • Choice Specs allow Deoxys-A to do an absurd amount of damage with its massive Special Attack stat
  • Psycho Boost deals massive damage to anything that does not resist it
  • Ice Beam allows you to hit the dragons of ubers as well as groudon
  • Focus Blast hits Dialga, Arceus-Steel and Darkrai
  • Shadow Ball hits mewtwo and giratina

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
  • Psycho Shock can be used to hit Blissey and Chansey

[SET]

move 2: Low Kick/Superpower
move 3: Ice Punch
move 4: Thunderpunch
nature: Jolly
evs: 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

  • Takes advantage of Deoxys-A equally impressive attack stat
  • Zen Headbutt is Deoxys-A's only physical STAB
  • Extremespeed allows Deoxys-A to revenge kill weakened sweepers, making it the prefered option
  • Superpower is a reliable 120 bp fighting attack with a fairly unwanted drawback
  • Low Kick generally has the same power as superpower, without the drawback
  • Ice Punch allows you to damage Dragon types as well as Shaymin-S
  • Thunderpunch hits Kyogre and Manaphy


[SET]

move 1: Shadow Ball
move 2: Extremespeed
