Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
How should I EV my Deoxys? It's Timid so it can't use Extremespeed. So now I'm stuck between using the regular lead set with Shadow Ball over X-Speed, or the Dual Screen lead. But I don't know if Shadow Ball is worth it. What should I do with my Deoxys?

Then we'd later balance New Ubers if it ever becomes an issue, but if it ever does I'd only see that very far down the road. We'd continually balance each tier until we have fairness. But, we wouldn't jump to balance it either if it was a scenario like in RBY where the only two Ubers were Mew...
See my fourth rebuttal. There would have to be stages of testing. We would have, as you said, "super-Ubers." It would just take time and testing to see what qualifies as one. The process would take a lot of hard work, yes, but we already invest so much effort in stabilizing OU. I know because...
Yes, but what I'm saying is that even in the Uber tier there are things that overcentralize it. That is, there are degrees of overcentralization, and more things to be banned to an even higher tier to make the one underneath it playable. I know you're saying that it wasn't meant to be playable...
You're arguing that because any Pokemon can be used it can't become balanced, it's its inherent nature. I didn't spell it out, but what I'm saying is make Ubers balanced by making a banlist for it. You said that every tier could be thought as a banlist to the one that precedes it. Then make one...

But I don't quite understand the frames that you have listed on the...
I'd appreciate a link to this thread, please. I tried to search for it but Smogon says that "RNG" is too short of a term and I couldn't find the topic. Forgive me, I'm still a newb at navigating the site.
