Deoxys-N (lol)

[Ranger Mike]

Overview
########

• Probably the most outclassed pokemon in the history of the franchise.
• Has great stats.
• Access to a variety of moves letting it play many different roles, that is until you realize that its other formes do all of said jobs better.
• Defog Giratina-O :[
• Don't use this thing.
• Please don't.

Deoxys-S but not Deoxys-S
########
name: Deoxys-S but not Deoxys-S
move 1: Psycho Boost
move 2: Spikes
move 3: Stealth Rock
move 4: Hidden Power Fire / Taunt / Ice Beam
ability: Pressure
item: Focus Sash
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
nature: Timid

Moves
========

• Psycho Boost allows Deoxys to hit pretty hard.
• Spikes is an ok option because you force some switches.
• Stealth Rock is there to make you look like you know what you're doing.
• Hidden Power Fire to roast Ferrothorn and Klefki.
• Taunt to beat opposing leads but not as fast as Deoxys-Speed so it doesn't outspeed all of them. Also for beating defoggers such as support Arceuses and Giratina-O.
• Ice Beam to beat Gliscor, Landorus-Therian and lure in Giratina-Origin
• Magic Coat to bounce back taunts from opposing Deoxys-Speeds.
• Knock Off once again to make yourself look like you know what you are doing.

Set Details
========

• The EV spread and a Timid nature allow Deoxys to hit as hard as it possibly can along with it being pretty fast but not nearly as fast as Deoxys-S.
• Focus Sash allows you to live a hit which usually otherwise won't happen because it is so frail.

Usage Tips
========

• The best usage tip is to not use Deoxys-N but you are obviously fixated on using it if you are reading the analysis this far.
• If you are using it for whatever reason, it plays pretty much identically to Deoxys-S except you are slower but hit harder. So lead off with it.
• If facing an opposing hazard lead that is not Deoxys-Speed and not a Magic Coat or Magic Bounce user then use Taunt.
• After Taunting try and set up as many hazards as possible before your inevitable demise.

Team Options
========

• Since you are using Deoxys-N it is obvious that you are building a joke team so teammates like Arceus-Bug and Chansey can help you accomplish that goal. Calm Mind Lugia is another possibility.
• If, for whatever reason you are using it on a serious team then Mega Gengar is a great option for Taunting support Arceus formes before they can Defog. It can also function as a spinblocker that traps rapid spinners.

lol

you may as well raid the XY Deoxys-N analysis and copy it, it's not like this thing has stopped being literal garbage in ORAS~

 

[Nayrz]

oi calling the set name something bad was my idea
Anyways this mon is even more useless now that defog tina-o is stronger than ever and we also have new defog users in lati twins so dual hazards sucks as well. i'd have more fun running cosmic power + recover than any viable set (jk it doesnt have a viable set)
im really stumped as to what this mon has to offer, maybe a joke analysis is in order here? either that or just use usual deo-s/a sets and explain that they are stubborn for using this mon over them.

 

[Thugly Duckling]

Since the mon sucks anyways, might as well include Nasty Plot since no other Deo form has "staying power" lol.

 

[Nix_Hex]

Too lazy to look it up now but I remember there being something in its BW analysis about the tiny edge of "bulk" it has over Deo-A allows it to.... do one more thing?

 

[Nix_Hex]

Also no mentioning of "roasting" Ferrothorn, even in a joke analysis, or you'll find yourself floating home.

Where did that come from anyway?

 

[shrang]

I really don't see much point of this tbh. Deo-N hasn't really gained or lost anything significant, so I think the on-site one is fine as it is.

qc rejected 1/3
