Deoxys-Speed @ Zygardite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Psycho Boost
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt / Dark Pulse

Deoxys-S amps it up to eleven in Mix and Mega! The newly introduced Zygardite grants Deoxys-S an absurd +125 Special Attack, which combined with its already massive Speed stat makes it a destructive wallbreaker. Focus Blast is used to target down anything that doesn't explode to +2 Psycho Boost, which includes Kingambit, Hisuian Samurott, and Chimechite Milotic. Thunderbolt nails Mandibuzz and Corviknight and is more reliable against Water-types, while Dark Pulse eliminates Lunala and Iron Crown. Despite its amazing offensive capabilities, Deoxys-S gets swiftly KOed by priority users such as Dragonite, Regieleki, and Entei thanks to Zygardite lowering its defenses by a large chunk, requiring support from defensive teammates such as Magearna and Pecharunt. Specially defensive Magearna is very problematic, as it's able to tank any move from Deoxys-S and heal up later with Pain Split, making teammates that can threaten or force out Magearna such as Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Barraskewda much appreciated.

Thunderbolt nails Mandibuzz and Corviknight and is more reliable into the aformentioned Water-types, while Dark Pulse eliminates Lunala and Iron Crown. Despite its amazing offensive capabilities, Deoxys-S gets swiftly eliminated by priority users such as Dragonite, Regieleki, and Raging Bolt u have to play mindgames vs bolt so maybe just write entei/harc here? thanks to Zygardite lowering its defenses by a large chunk, requiring support from defensive teammates such as Magearna and Great Tusk removal doesnt matter much id just add another defensive pivot here like pecharunt. Specially Defensive Magearna is very problematic, as it's able to tank any move from Deoxys-S and heal up later with Pain Split, making entry hazards from Clodsire and the aforementioned Great Tusk and Magearna very helpful in wearing it down id write about offensive partners that pressure mage and stuff here like skewda / zama / rmoon.
qc 1/1
