Choice Specs Deoxys-S is an incredible wallbreaker, boasting powerful Psychic Terrain-boosted Expanding Force alongside the highest relevant base Speed stat in the tier. Ice Beam hits Roaring Moon, Mandibuzz, and Dragonite for massive damage, while Knock Off debilitates foes, especially RegenVest users like Manaphy, Swampert, and Meloetta. Energy Ball hits Swampert and Iron Boulder; alternatively, Dark Pulse OHKOes Azelf and 2HKOes Gholdengo and Deoxys-D while still hitting Iron Boulder. Trick can debilitate defensive Pokemon, but it comes with the cost of weakening Deoxys-S. A Timid nature allows Deoxys-S to outspeed +1 Gouging Fire, +1 Volcarona, and Choice Scarf Sandy Shocks, while a Modest nature gives it more power, allowing it to always 2HKO defensive Gholdengo after slight chip damage. Other special wallbreakers like Iron Moth, Walking Wake, and Latios are appreciated, as they can break down shared checks such as RegenVest users like Manaphy, Swampert, Meloetta, and Hisuian Goodra with Deoxys-S. Deoxys-S is very frail, so slow pivots like Corviknight, Swampert, and Manaphy are very helpful. Additionally, entry hazard support from allies such as Great Tusk and Heatran can help chip would-be checks into range of a KO.

Choice Specs Deoxys-S is an incredible wallbreaker, boasting powerful Psychic terrrain-boosted Expanding Force alongside the highest base Speed stat in the tier. Ice Beam hits Roaring Moon, Mandibuzz, and Dragonite for massive damage, while Knock Off allows you to cripple foes, especially Assault Vest users like Manaphy, Swampert, and Meloetta. Energy Ball hits Swampert and Iron Boulder. Alternatively, Dark Pulse allows you to OHKO Azelf and 2HKO Gholdengo and Deoxys-D. Trick can cripple defensive mons but comes with the cost of weakening Deoxys-S. A Timid nature allows for Deoxys-S to outspeed Timid +1 Gouging Fire and Volcarona and Choice Scarf Sandy Shocks, while a Modest Nature allows for more power, allowing you to always 2HKO max HP Leftovers Gholdengo after Stealth Rock Damage. Other wallbreakers like Iron Boulder appreciate Deoxys-S's ability to force chip onto would-be checks. Is this really true? Most of the time specially-defensive RegenVests will switch into PsySurge Deoxys-S unless the opponent is somewhat desperate with their Steel-types. If you decide to keep Iron Boulder or replace it, name what these checks are Deoxys-S is very frail, so slow pivots like Corviknight, Swampert, and Manaphy are very helpful. RegenVest users like Manaphy, Swampert, Meloetta, and Hisuian Goodra can be hard for Deoxys-S to break through so Knock Off support from Pokemon like your own Manaphy or Walking Wake is very helpful. It's a bit odd to highlight Knock Off support as helpful when you already have Knock Off/Trick of your own. Might be worth it works well with other slower special breakers to overwhelm special walls while acting as pseudo speed control itself. Additionally, hazard support from allies such as Great Tusk or Heatran can help chip would-be checks into range of a KO.

Other special wallbreakers like Iron Moth, Walking Wake, and Hisuian Electrode Latios are appreciated as they can break down shared checks such as RegenVest users like Manaphy, Swampert, Meloetta, and Hisuian Goodra together. Deoxys-S is very frail, so slow pivots like Corviknight, Swampert, and Manaphy are very helpful. Additionally, hazard support from allies such as Great Tusk or Heatran can help chip would-be checks into range of a KO.

Orangex fyi, Bonk’s check was an AMQC, which needs approval from a QCer to be considered a full check.

I’m giving that approval now, the check looks great, but in the future make sure to not count AMQCs as a full check until it’s confirmed!
