Courtesy of its ludicrous Speed and a spectacular offensive movepool bolstered further by Nasty Plot and Life Orb, Deoxys-S can serve as a fantastic wallbreaker and late-game sweeper. Though the combination of Nasty Plot and Psycho Boost may seem counterproductive, Psycho Boost's massive base power is necessary to muscle past threats like Specially Defensive Galarian Slowking and Gliscor, Ogerpon-W after Stealth Rock, and Raging Bolt. Tera Psychic can further enhance Psycho Boost's tremendous damage output, ensuring that Deoxys-S can eliminate these aforementioned threats without even requiring a Nasty Plot boost while OHKOing even Assault Vest variants of Alomomola and Galarian Slowking after a Nasty Plot. Focus Blast, accuracy permitting, always OHKOes Kingambit and hits other Dark-types like Hisuian Samurott and Darkrai and Steel-types like Iron Treads for tremendous damage; after a Nasty Plot boost, even Ting-Lu and Blissey are cleanly 2HKOed by Focus Blast. Tera Fighting allows Deoxys-S to outright OHKO Ting-Lu at +2 and OHKO Blissey after minimal chip damage, and provides it with the added benefit of resisting Kingambit's Sucker Punch. Shadow Ball rounds out Deoxys-S's coverage by hitting Gholdengo, Iron Crown, Hatterene, and opposing Deoxys-S super effectively while hitting Galarian Slowking and Pecharunt reasonably hard without committing to Psycho Boost's Special Attack drop. Tera Ghost lets Deoxys-S outright OHKO offensive Gholdengo after Stealth Rock while allowing it to spinblock against Great Tusk and Iron Treads in a pinch.

Deoxys-S fits well on offensive teams, both as a wallbreaker and as a late-game cleaner. Entry hazard support from Hisuian Samurott, Ting-Lu, and Iron Treads help Deoxys-S more reliably muscle past Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt, Corviknight, and Gliscor without needing to Terastallize. Great Tusk and Iron Treads also support Deoxys-S well with Rapid Spin, since this set tends to get worn down incredibly quickly through Life Orb recoil and entry hazard chip damage. Powerful setup sweepers like Kingambit and Dragonite appreciate Deoxys-S's ability to handle physically bulky threats like Zamazenta, Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Dondozo. Dragonite can additionally serve as a powerful wallbreaker early-game with a Choice Band set, allowing Deoxys-S to clean up late-game. Booster Energy Iron Valiant is among the very few foes that can outspeed and immediately threaten Deoxys-S, so Gholdengo's ability to check it makes it a powerful teammate. Gholdengo's strong matchup against defensive teams also benefits Deoxys-S greatly, as it tends to get worn down quickly because of its Life Orb recoil and as such cannot muscle past these teams on its own. Iron Valiant itself makes for a solid teammate, with physical and mixed variants' Knock Off providing invaluable support and with Deoxys-S serving as a second fast attacker should Iron Valiant's Booster Energy be wasted. Lastly, Iron Moth also pairs well with Deoxys-S, as it does very well against Steel-types that Deoxys-S would require Terastallization and/or Focus Blast's shaky accuracy to muscle past. Iron Moth can even consider running Toxic Spikes to further support Deoxys-S, since Poison-types like Pecharunt and Galarian Slowking will often find themselves on the receiving end of a Nasty Plot-boosted Psycho Boost should they try absorbing those Toxic Spikes.

Courtesy of its ludicrous Speed and a spectacular offensive movepool bolstered further by Nasty Plot and Life Orb, Deoxys-S can serve as a fantastic wallbreaker and late-game sweeper. Though the combination of Nasty Plot and Psycho Boost may seem counterproductive, (Not sure counterproductive is the word, as you may not only go from 0 to +2, but also from -2 to 0 on a predicted switch in. Perhaps removing this or reworking it a bit could be good) Psycho Boost's massive base power is necessary to muscle past threats like Specially Defensive Galarian Slowking (I get this but perhaps mention a Pokemon that isnt weak to one of your coverage options? Just for this part since you mention Galarian Slowking in the Tera Psychic and Shadow Ball parts. Cinderace and Landorus-T could be options, but up to you though) and Gliscor, Ogerpon-W after Stealth Rock, and Raging Bolt. Tera Psychic can further enhance Psycho Boost's tremendous damage output, ensuring that Deoxys-S can eliminate these aforementioned threats without even requiring a Nasty Plot boost while OHKOing even Assault Vest variants of Alomomola and Galarian Slowking after a Nasty Plot. Focus Blast, accuracy permitting, always OHKOes Kingambit and hits other Dark-types like Hisuian Samurott and Darkrai and Steel-types like Iron Treads for tremendous damage; after a Nasty Plot boost, even Ting-Lu and Blissey are cleanly 2HKOed by Focus Blast. Tera Fighting allows Deoxys-S to outright OHKO Ting-Lu at +2 and OHKO Blissey after minimal chip damage, and provides it with the added benefit of resisting Kingambit's Sucker Punch. (There's an argument to add a couple more moves here like Cinderace's or Hisuian Samurott's Sucker Punch, or Darkrai's STAB moves) Shadow Ball rounds out Deoxys-S's coverage by hitting Gholdengo, Iron Crown, Hatterene, and opposing Deoxys-S super effectively while hitting Galarian Slowking and Pecharunt reasonably hard without committing to Psycho Boost's Special Attack drop. Tera Ghost lets Deoxys-S outright OHKO offensive Gholdengo after Stealth Rock while allowing it to spinblock against Great Tusk and Iron Treads in a pinch, and become immune to Dragonite's Extreme Speed trying to revenge kill it. (Not this exactly but something like this)

This is all pretty good. if possible I would mention Garganacl and Corviknight somewhere as targets, in the Tera Fighting part for example, or the Tera Psychic one in the case of Garganacl.

Deoxys-S fits well on offensive teams, both as a wallbreaker and as a late-game cleaner. Entry hazard support from Hisuian Samurott, Ting-Lu, and Iron Treads help Deoxys-S more reliably muscle past Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt, Corviknight, and Gliscor without needing to Terastallize. (Is there a reason to mention these Pokemon in particular rather than other entry hazard setters? Regardless I think this would go better towards the end of the paragraph, as its a more general "offensive Pokemon likes chip" kinda mention) Great Tusk and Iron Treads also support Deoxys-S well with Rapid Spin, since this set tends to get worn down incredibly quickly through Life Orb recoil and entry hazard chip damage. (Same here, this should probably be below as it is not very Deoxys-S specific) Powerful Physical(?) setup sweepers like Kingambit and Dragonite appreciate Deoxys-S's ability to handle physically bulky threats like Zamazenta, Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Dondozo. Dragonite can additionally serve as a powerful wallbreaker early-game with a Choice Band set, allowing Deoxys-S to clean up late-game. (Kingambit also does well against the likes of Assault Vest Hatterene, Galarian Slowking, and Iron Crown that might try to sponge attacks from Deoxys-S, particularly when unboosted) Booster Energy Iron Valiant is among the very few foes that can outspeed and immediately threaten Deoxys-S, so Gholdengo's ability to check it makes it a powerful teammate. (Odd mention cause if Iron Valiant is coming in to check Deoxys-S, chances are it might click Shadow Ball or Knock Off, both moves Gholdengo wont be switching into) Gholdengo's strong matchup against defensive teams also benefits Deoxys-S greatly, as it tends to get worn down quickly because of its Life Orb recoil and as such cannot muscle past these teams on its own. (Just adjust to match the above, and specify what kind of Gholengo set, as Choice Scarf can do rather poorly vs fat) Iron Valiant itself makes for a solid teammate, with physical and mixed variants' Knock Off providing invaluable support and with Deoxys-S serving as a second fast attacker should Iron Valiant's Booster Energy be wasted. Lastly, Iron Moth also pairs well with Deoxys-S, as it does very well against Steel-types that Deoxys-S would require Terastallization and/or Focus Blast's shaky accuracy to muscle past such as... (Iron Moth also does well vs Iron Valiant, perhaps thats a better mention. It also does well into Scizor and Lokix that might try to revenge kill Deoxys-S). Iron Moth can even consider running Toxic Spikes to further support Deoxys-S, since Poison-types like Pecharunt and Galarian Slowking will often find themselves on the receiving end of a Nasty Plot-boosted Psycho Boost should they try absorbing those Toxic Spikes. Mention partners that do well into Ting-Lu, such as Ogerpon-W and Zamazenta, the latter of which also does well into Dark- and Steel-types, and appreciates Deoxys-S ability to scare Pecharunt, or even Zapdos.
