[SET]
Sheer Force (Deoxys-Speed) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Ice Beam
- Energy Ball / Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast / Dark Pulse / Knock Off

[SET COMMENTS]
With its sky-high Speed stat and fantastic coverage, Deoxys-S is able to outspeed a significant portion of the metagame and threaten many common metagame threats with huge damage thanks to Sheer Force. Ice Beam OHKOes Zapdos and offensive Roaring Moon after some chip damage and 2HKOes Mandibuzz. Energy Ball 2HKOes RegenVest Swampert, while Thunderbolt can be run instead to threaten Corviknight. Focus Blast lets Deoxys-S damage Steel-types like Heatran and Hisuian Goodra, while Dark Pulse can be used instead to 2HKO Deoxys-D and Gholdengo. Knock Off is another option that can be used to debilitate opposing Pokemon like Swampert and Manaphy by removing their held items, making them easier for Deoxys-S and its teammates to deal with. Deoxys-S struggles against specially defensive Pokemon like Meloetta and Manaphy, so it pairs well with physically offensive partners like Chien-Pao, Meowscarada, and Galarian Zapdos that can effectively force them out. Due to its relative frailty and lack of recovery, Deoxys-S benefits from pivots like Corviknight and entry hazard removers like Great Tusk that allow it to come in safely. Entry hazard setters like Skarmory, Scream Tail, and Smeargle can also help weaken foes, making them easier for Deoxys-S to handle.

With its sky-high Speed stat, Deoxys-S is able to threaten a significant portion of the metagame and OHKO top tier threats like Great Tusk and Zapdos-Galar with Sheer Force-boosted Psychic (STAB doesn't need mention) (Maybe mention how it threatens the metagame thanks to its phenomenal coverage?). Ice Beam OHKOes Roaring Moon and Zapdos Zapdos and Roaring Moon after slight chip, and 2HKOes specially defensive Mandibuzz. Energy Ball 2HKOes RegenVest Swampert, while Thunderbolt can be run instead to OHKO Corvknight after Stealth Rock damage (Its still a roll after Stealth Rock, maybe simplify it to simply say it threatens Corvi instead). Focus Blast lets Deoxys-S damage Steel-types like Heatran and Hisuian Goodra, while Dark Pulse can be used instead to 2HKO Deoxys-D and Gholdengo. Knock Off is another option that can be used to cripple opposing Pokemon by removing their Heavy-Duty Boots and Assault Vest, making them it easier for Deoxys-S and teammates to deal with. Deoxys-S struggles against specially defensive Pokemon like Meloetta and Blissey, so it pairs well with physically offensive partners like Chien-Pao and Galarian Zapdos that can effectively remove them force them out. Due to its relative frailty and lack of recovery, Deoxys-S benefits from pivots like Corviknight and entry hazard removers like Great Tusk that allow it to come in safely. Entry hazard setters like Garchomp and Smeargle can also help weaken defensive foes like Hisuian Goodra and Scream Tail foes (Deoxys-S appreciates all foes being chipped down, not just defensive ones), making them easier for Deoxys-S to handle.

With its sky-high Speed stat and fantastic coverage, Deoxys-S is able to a significant portion of the metagame and OHKO top tier threats like Great Tusk and Zapdos-Galar Galarian Zapdos with Sheer Force-boosted Psychic. does this really need to be mentioned? explaining what your stab moves hit doesn't really add much Ice Beam OHKOes Zapdos and offensive Roaring Moon after some chip damage and 2HKOes specially defensive Mandibuzz. Energy Ball 2HKOes RegenVest Swampert, while Thunderbolt can be run instead to threaten Corviknight. Focus Blast lets Deoxys-S damage Steel-types like Heatran and Hisuian Goodra, while Dark Pulse can be used instead to 2HKO Deoxys-D and Gholdengo. Knock Off is another option that can be used to cripple opposing Pokemon by removing their Heavy-Duty Boots and Assault Vest held item knock punishes more than just defensive mons, making them easier for Deoxys-S and it's teammates to deal with. Deoxys-S struggles against specially defensive Pokemon like Meloetta and Blissey blissey is pretty meh, i'd rather mention manaphy here-- yes, tbolt/energy ball outdamage regen, but if you're not running knock, it just kills you first with knock into u-turn, so it pairs well with physically offensive partners like Chien-Pao, Meowscarada, if you add manaphy and Galarian Zapdos that can effectively force them out. Due to its relative frailty and lack of recovery, Deoxys-S benefits from pivots like Corviknight and entry hazard removers like Great Tusk that allow it to come in safely. Entry hazard setters like Garchomp Skarmory, Scream Tail, fraudchomp and Smeargle can also help weaken foes, making them easier for Deoxys-S to handle.
