[SET COMMENTS]
This Deoxys-S set uses Heavy-Duty Boots for more longevity, which makes it a great anti-offense tool. Knock Off allows Deoxys-S to punish pivots like Galarian Slowking and Corviknight and threatens defensive Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Moltres by removing their items. Superpower lets it threaten dangerous Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Weavile, and Darkrai as well as other Pokemon such as Kyurem and Blissey. Ice Beam makes quick work of both Gliscor and Landorus-T, preventing them from setting entry hazards or pivoting out. The EV spread allows Deoxys-S to outspeed Speed Booster Energy Great Tusk. Tera Fighting allows Deoxys-S to survive a Sucker Punch from Kingambit and dispatch it on the spot with Superpower, and getting a chance to 2HKO Ting-Lu with Superpower can also come in handy.

This set fits well on bulky offense and balance teams, as it provides the necessary speed control for teams, forcing out strong yet frail sweepers with its coverage as well as helping soften more defensive teams via Knock Off. This set struggles with Deoxys-S's lack of firepower combined with its frailty, making it hard to win games on its own. For these reasons, entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu, Skarmory, Hisuian Samurott, and Gliscor are great partners because they make Deoxys-S's ability to remove items much more dangerous against Pokemon with Leftovers or Heavy-Duty Boots like Ting-Lu, Galarian Slowking, and Moltres. Wallbreakers like Gholdengo, Ogerpon-W, Weavile, Kingambit, and Kyurem appreciate Deoxys-S's efforts to soften up and cripple Pokemon with Knock Off, allowing them to break through defensive teams more easily. Slow bulky pivots like Galarian Slowking and Corviknight can tank hits and bring Deoxys-S safely onto the field. Corviknight also helps defensively by checking Dark-types like Kingambit and Roaring Moon, giving Deoxys-S another layer of security. Alomomola provides momentum via Flip Turn and Wish support to keep Deoxys-S healthy. In return, Deoxys-S threatens Alomomola's greatest counter, Ogerpon-W, with STAB Psycho Boost. Skeledirge makes for an interesting partner, as it switches into common priority like Rillaboom's Grassy Glide and Dragonite's Extreme Speed, which it can then use as an opportunity to cripple them with Will-O-Wisp or start a snowball effect with Torch Song. Zamazenta is another great check to the aforementioned Dark-types, protecting Deoxys-S and using early-game chip damage to brute force its way to victory with Body Press. Deoxys-S and Zamazenta can work in tandem to pressure Galarian Slowking with the combination of Knock Off and Crunch, respectively.

This Deoxys-S set takes a more defensive approach of the offensive set, which makes it a great anti offense tool, as well as a frail yet menacing wallbreaker. Knock Off allows Deoxys-S to punish checks and pivots like Galarian Slowking and Clodsire I wouldn't really consider Clodsire a pivot considering it flat out loses to psycho, why not Corviknight instead? reword the end of sentence accordingly to fit the replacement example, making them susceptible to hazard damage. Superpower lets you it stop threaten wouldn't really say you stop them since both darkrai and rmoon can tank one from full dangerous Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Weavile and Darkrai, as well as other pokemon such as Zamazenta why are you clicking Superpower into Zamazenta?, Kyurem and Blissey. Ice Beam makes quick work of both Gliscor and Landorus-Therian, preventing them from getting hazards or momentum. The EV spread allows Deoxys-Speed remember to keep it consistent to outspeed Booster Energy Great Tusk. Tera Fighting is the preferred type, as it allows Deoxys-Speed to take a Sucker Punch from Kingambit and dispatch it on the spot with Superpower, and getting a higher it's not a higher chance, it is a chance since you can't 2HKO at all without Tera gives a chance to 2HKO Ting Lu with Superpower can also come in handy


This set pairs really well on bulky balance teams, as it helps to be the speed check these teams need, forcing out strong yet frail sweepers with its coverage as well as helping soften more defensive teams via Knock Off, despite this, the main problems with this set are the lack of high firepower combined with Deoxys-S's frailty, make it hard to win games on its own. For these reasons, Hazard Setters, like Ting Lu, Skarmory, Samurrot-Hisui, and Gliscor are great partners because they love Deoxys-S's ability to knock off items, the latter two packing Knock Off as well not really relevant, kinda lessens Deoxys's job if they can knock mons themselves anyways. Wallbreakers like Gholdengo, Ogerpon, Weavile, Kingambit and Dragapult is Pult really a wallbreaker? appreciate the efforts can you specify Deoxys-S do, allowing them to have an easier team time breaking through defensive teams. When looking for teammates that can help Deoxys-Speed survive longer in the match, slow bulky pivots like Galarian Slowking and Corviknight can tank hits and bring Deoxys-S safely into the field, Corviknight also helps defensively checking the Dark-types like, giving Deoxys-S another layer of security. Special mention goes to Alomomola who also provides momentum via Flip Turn, and Wish support to keep Deoxys-S healthy, in return, Deoxys-Speed threatens Alomomola's greatest counter, Ogerpon-W with either STAB Psycho Boost, or in case Ogerpon-W has use Terastalization, Superpower deoxys still does more damage with psycho boost, and you aren't staying in to hit twice for the spattack boost to drop. Skeledirge makes for an interesting partner, as it helps shield Deoxys-S from common priority like Rillaboom's Grassy Glide or Dragonite's Extreme Speed which is then used as an opportunity to cripple them with Will-O-Wisp or start a snowball effect with Torch Song, it can also Set-Up on Garganacl, who is otherwise not instantly scared of Deoxys-S doesn't garg just salt cure + eq and then win. Zamazenta is another great partner, as it the biggest physical stopgap for offensive teams to face, protecting Deoxys-Speed why not talk about how Zamazenta checks a bunch of the dark types instead? and using the damage it did early on to brute force its way to victory with Body Press, both also can work in tandem in making Galarian Slowking unconfortable uncomfortable with the combination of Knock oOff from Deoxys-S and Crunch from Zamazenta.

[SET COMMENTS]
This Deoxys-S set takes a more defensive approach of the offensive set defensive isnt the word i'd use here, especially considering the lack of defensive investment. perhaps phrase this moreso as boot giving deo-s better longevity, which makes it a great anti offense tool, as well as a frail yet menacing wallbreaker you later mention that it lacks high firepower, maybe get rid of this and talk about how knock off helps with defensive pokemon in the next sentence because thats the main utility against defensive teams that you mention. Knock Off allows Deoxys-S to punish pivots like Galarian Slowking and Corviknight by removing their items. Superpower lets it threaten dangerous Dark-types like Roaring Moon, Weavile and Darkrai, as well as other pokemon such as Kyurem and Blissey. Ice Beam makes quick work of both Gliscor and Landorus-Therian, preventing them from getting hazards or momentum. The EV spread allows Deoxys-S to outspeed Booster Energy Great Tusk. Tera Fighting is the preferred type, as it allows Deoxys Speed to take a Sucker Punch from Kingambit and dispatch it on the spot with Superpower, and getting a chance to 2HKO Ting Lu with Superpower can also come in handy.

This set pairs really well on bulky balance teams, as it helps to be the speed check these teams need more of a gp thing i guess but i'd rephrase this to speed control, generally more accessible term, forcing out strong yet frail sweepers with its coverage as well as helping soften more defensive teams via Knock Off, despite this, the main problems with this set are the lack of high firepower combined with Deoxys-S's frailty, make it hard to win games on its own. For these reasons, Hazard Setters, like Ting Lu, Skarmory, Samurrot-Hisui Hisuian Samurott, and Gliscor are great partners because they love Deoxys-S's ability to knock off items. Wallbreakers like Gholdengo, Ogerpon-W more relevant example, Weavile, Kingambit and Kyurem appreciate the efforts Deoxys-S do in softening up and crippling pokemon with Knock Off and its other moves, allowing them to have an easier time breaking through defensive teams. When looking for teammates that can help Deoxys-S survive longer in the match, fluff Slow bulky pivots like Galarian Slowking and Corviknight can tank hits and bring Deoxys-S safely into the field, Corviknight also helps defensively checking the Dark-types like Kingambit and Roaring Moon, giving Deoxys-S another layer of security. Special mention goes to Alomomola who also provides momentum via Flip Turn, and Wish support to keep Deoxys-S healthy, in return, Deoxys-S threatens Alomomola's greatest counter, Ogerpon-W with STAB Psycho Boost. Skeledirge makes for an interesting partner, as it helps shield Deoxys-S from common priority like Rillaboom's Grassy Glide or Dragonite's Extreme Speed which is then used as an opportunity to cripple them with Will-O-Wisp or start a snowball effect with Torch Song. Zamazenta is another great partner, as its also another great check to the Dark-types already mentioned, protecting Deoxys-S and using the damage it did early on to brute force its way to victory with Body Press, both also can work in tandem in making Galarian Slowking uncomfortable with the combination of Knock Off from Deoxys-S and Crunch from Zamazenta.
