At first, I thought it would have Greninja tier stats with some good ability like Stakeout. Decidueye is surprisingly tanky and versatile. It can hold well on its own in the current OU meta with beating a good amount of Pokemon depending on its set. It is also a pretty devastating tool against stall.
Deciduye @ Leftovers
Ability: Long Reach
EVs: 248 HP / 120 Def / 140 SpD
Careful Nature
- Spirit Shackle
- Curse/Toxic/Substitute
- U-turn/Baton Pass
- Roost/Synthesis/Haze
-With Spirit Shackle, you can trap any thing on Stall that isn't Chansey, M-Sableye, Blissey, or Porygon.
-Curse can let you kill anything that lacks recover in as simple as 4 turns, but puts you at risk of dying to more physical attacking Pokemon like Hippo. Toxic will automatically kill any non-steel or poison type and if they don't have Heal Bell or Rest. Substitute can also be an option that would go with Baton Pass so you can have 2 turns to set up (unless they get past your Sub in some way) and prevents pretty much any stallmon from poisoning you.
-U-turn can be used after Spirit Shackle or Switch predictions to have the upper hand and Long Reach prevents Rocky Helmet and Rough Barb damage. Baton pass does the same, but is only useful for passing subs (or Nasty Dances if you want on different sets).
-Roost is used as a constant way to heal yourself with consistent results, while Synthesis can get more from Sun if it is up (which I would only recommend if you have Charizard-Y on your team). Haze is used to make Crocune and the likes cry themselves to sleep.
-It Ghost typing allows it to easily escape Stag and Arena Trap (if it comes back) and makes it immune to Normal/Fighting, walling Chansey further. Its grass typing also allows it to avoid Spore, Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, etc.
The EVs given allow Decidueye to tank hits from plenty of OU mons.
+6 0 SpA Suicune (OU Crocune set) Scald vs. 248 HP / 140+ SpD Decidueye: 125-147 (34.5 - 40.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Icy Wind vs. 248 HP / 140+ SpD Decidueye: 142-168 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Life Orb Technician Breloom Bullet Seed (3 hits) vs. 248 HP / 120 Def Decidueye: 129-153 (35.9 - 42.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

0 Atk Hippowdon Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 120 Def Decidueye: 87-103 (24.2 - 28.6%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Stealth Rock, sandstorm damage, and Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Ferrothorn Gyro Ball (110 BP) vs. 248 HP / 120 Def Decidueye: 123-145 (34.2 - 40.3%) -- 48.8% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Decidueye is likely to be High RU to mid-UU, but I can see it having a really nice niche in OU.
