Deoxys-Speed @ Light Clay
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
- Light Screen

Deoxys-S's great natural Speed allows it to act as a great lead. Taunt allows Deoxys-S to prevent other entry hazard leads such as Skarmory from setting up Stealth Rock or opposing walls such as Chansey and Porygon2 from being able to spread status and recover health. Deoxys-S is also capable of setting up Stealth Rock, chipping the opponent's team with every switch-in, allowing teammates such as Victini to easily clean the opposing team. Deoxys-S is the most reliable dual screen setter thanks to its high Speed, allowing it to set screens even against threatening Choice Scarf users like Victini and Excadrill, allowing sweepers such as Double Dance Mew to more easily set up and sweep. Choice Band Victini appreciates the extra bulk that screens provide to negate the defense drops from V-create, allowing it to break past opposing walls more easily. Mega Gallade also uses the screens Deoxys-S provides to set up Swords Dance more easily, allowing it to more easily wallbreak and clean.

Deoxys-Speed is the fastest pokemon, allowing it to outspeed Choice Scarf threats such as Victini, Excadrill, and Nihilego. Insert a sentence about how it's a great lead thanks to its access to utility moves as well as its high Speed (actual intro for what this mon does). Taunt allows Deoxys-Speed to prevent other hazard leads such as Clefable (I wouldn't really call Clefable a hazard lead, maybe Aerodactyl and Skarmory - actual leads?) from setting up Stealth Rock or pokemon oppsing walls such as Chansey and Porygon2 from being able to spread status and recover health. Deoxys-Speed is the most reliable screen setter (Talk about how its high Speed allows it to set screens on the majority of Pokemon, even Choice Scarf users like x and x [from the sentence I removed] then make Double Dance mew as a teammate a separate sentence and add in mgallade) allowing sweepers such as Dual Dance Mew to more easily setup and sweep. Deoxys-Speed is also capable of setting up Stealth Rock chipping the opponents team with every switchin allowing teammates such as Victini to easily clean the opposing team (Talk about SR before screens, just move the sentence). All three of these qualities make Deoxys-Speed a very nice edition to any Hyper Offensive Psychic-type team. Victini and Alakazam make great teammates for Deoxys-Speed as the former can break annoyingtroublesome Steel-type Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Celesteela, while the latter can check threats such as Mega Sharpedo and Bisharp with Magic Guard + Counter (Remove Alakazam since they don't really help eachother specifically, they're just good on the same team. Talk about using band Victini as a wallbreaker who takes advantage of the additional bulk screens provides).

Deoxys-S's great natural Speed allows it to act as a great lead Pokemon with access to Stealth Rock and Taunt, which prevents other Pokemon from setting up hazards or spreading status. (you literally say that in the next line) Taunt allows Deoxys-Speed to prevent other entry hazard leads such as Skarmory from setting up Stealth Rock or opposing walls such as Chansey and Porygon2 from being able to spread status and recover health. Deoxys-Speed is also capable of setting up Stealth Rock, (AC) chipping the opponent's team with every switch-in, (AC) allowing teammates such as Victini to easily clean the opposing team. Deoxys-Speed is the most reliable dual screen setter thanks to its high Speed, allowing it to set screens even against threatening Choice Scarf users Pokemon like Victini and Excadrill, allowing sweepers such as Dual Double Dance Mew to more easily set up and sweep. Choice Band Victini appreciates the extra bulk that screens provide, (RC) negating to negate the defense drops from V-create, allowing it to break past opposing walls more readily easily. Mega Gallade also uses the screens it Deoxys-S provides to set up Swords Dance more easily, (AC) as setting up Swords Dance becomes easier allowing it to more easily wallbreak and clean through the opposing team.
