[SET COMMENTS]

• Deoxys-S clocks in at a blistering base 180 Speed, making it the naturally fastest viable Pokemon in the tier. With a diverse support movepool and passable bulk, Deoxys-S establishes itself as the premier entry hazard setter for hyper offense teams.
• Magic Coat allows Deoxys-S to bounce opposing Taunt from Grimmsnarl and entry hazards from other suicide leads like Shuckle and Smeargle.
• Psycho Boost is an alternative to Spikes, giving Deoxys-S a powerful STAB move that can heavily damage anything that tries to take advantage of its relatively passive nature, like Marshadow and Flutter Mane.
• Rocky Helmet is an alternative to Focus Sash, providing valuable chip damage against foes like Zacian-C, which puts it within OHKO range of Necrozma-DM's Earthquake.
• While Deoxys-S normally runs a maximum HP and Speed EV spread, it can also opt for a bulkier spread; 16 Speed EVs and a Timid nature allow Deoxys-S to outspeed Deoxys-A and Zacian-C, while the HP and Defense EVs avoid a 2HKO from Arceus's Extreme Speed and Rayquaza's combination of Dragon Ascent + Extreme Speed.
• Tera Steel allows Deoxys-S to block Mortal Spin from Glimmora, keeping up hazards, as well as giving a crucial resistance to Extreme Speed from Arceus. However, Deoxys-S generally wants to avoid Terastallizing, saving the slot for one of its teammates instead.
• Deoxys-S is best used as a lead, since it provides little defensive or offensive options to its team, so it is usually worth sacrificing early-game for an extra layer of entry hazards or a fast Taunt to deny opposing sweepers from setting up, such as Mega Salamence and Zygarde-C.
• The hazards Deoxys-S lays serve as an excellent enabler for powerful sweepers like Arceus-Ground, Zacian-C, Mega Mewtwo Y, Primal Kyogre, and Ultra Necrozma, and teammates like Primal Groudon and Meteor Beam Eternatus can threaten hazard removers, especially Ho-Oh.

Apply the stuff below then tell me when it's done so I can then verify for a stamp.
I'd also suggest to take a look at this as it seems you aren't too familiar with the intended terminology for analyses.

• Deoxys-Speed "Deoxys-S" is the way to call it in analyses clocks in at a blistering base 180 speed Speed, making it the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the tier. With a diverse movepool and passable bulk, Deoxys-Speed establishes itself as the premiere suicide lead for Hyper Offensive hyper offense teams in National Dex Ubers.
• Deoxys-Speed usually opts for a traditional Spikes set, with Magic Coat, which allows Deoxys-Speed to bounce opposing Taunts from who? and entry hazards back to their user the foe such as?. Move this bullet point to the usage tips section
• Psycho Boost is an alternative to Spikes, giving Deoxys-Speed a powerful STAB move that can heavily damage anything that tries to take advantage of Deoxys-Speed's relatively passive nature including which foes in particular for example?.
• Deoxys-Speed can also choose to drop hazards entirely and run a Screens set dual screens, forgoing Focus Sash in favor of Light Clay, and running Magic Coat, Reflect, and Light Screen in its 1st, 3rd, and 4th moveslot respectively. Would be implicit with how the moves are slashed now
• While Deoxys-Speed normally runs a max HP and Speed EV spread, it can also opt for a bulkier spread, investing almost fully into HP and Defense instead, as well as equipping Rocky Helmet over the standard Focus Sash. The 16 Speed EVs allows Deoxys-Speed to outspeed Deoxys-Attack and Zacian-Crowned, while the bulk enables Deoxys-Speed to survive a hit or two from what? Give concrete examples to lay an extra layer of hazards.
• Tera Steel allows Deoxys-Speed to block Mortal Spin from Glimmora, keeping up hazards, as well as giving a crucial resist against Extreme Speed from Arceus. However, Deoxys-Speed will generally want to avoid Tera-ing Terastallizing, saving the slot for one of its teammates instead.
• Deoxys-Speed is best when it leads the game, with its hazards serving as an excellent enabler for the many sweepers in the tier like Ultra Necrozma or Arceus-Normal. It provides little defensive or offensive options to its team, so it is usually worth sacrificing early-game add hyphen for an extra layer of entry hazards or a fast Taunt to deny opposing sweepers such as?.

• Psycho Boost is an alternative to Spikes, giving Deoxys-S a powerful STAB move that can heavily damage anything that tries to take advantage of Deoxys-S's relatively passive nature, like Marshadow and Flutter Mane.
• Rocky Helmet is an alternative to Focus Sash, providing valuable chip damage against foes like Zacian-C, which puts it within OHKO range of Necrozma-DM's Earthquake.
• While Deoxys-S normally runs a max HP and Speed EV spread, it can also opt for a bulkier spread, with the 16 Speed EVs and a Timid nature allowing Deoxys-S to outspeed Deoxys-A and Zacian-C, while the HP and Def Defense EVs avoid a 2HKO from Arceus's Extreme Speed and Rayquaza's combination of Dragon Ascent then + Extreme Speed.
• Tera Steel allows Deoxys-S to block Mortal Spin from Glimmora, keeping up hazards, as well as giving a crucial resistance against Extreme Speed from Arceus. However, Deoxys-S will generally wants to avoid Terastalizing Terastallizing, saving the slot for one of its teammates instead.
• Deoxys-S is best when it is used as a lead, since it provides little defensive or offensive options to its team, so it is usually worth sacrificing early-game for an extra layer of entry hazards or a fast Taunt to deny opposing sweepers from setting up, such as Mega Salamence or Zygarde-C.
• The hazards Deoxys-S lays serve as an excellent enabler for powerful sweepers like Arceus-Ground, Zacian-C, Mega Mewtwo Y, Primal Kyogre, and Ultra Necrozma, while teammates like Primal Groudon and Meteor Beam Eternatus can threaten hazard removers, especially Ho-Oh.

• Deoxys-S clocks in at a blistering base 180 Speed, making it the naturally fastest viable Pokemon in the tier. With a diverse support movepool and passable bulk, Deoxys-S establishes itself as the premiere premier entry hazard setter for hyper offense teams in National Dex Ubers. (redundant with 'in the tier' in the last sentence)
• Magic Coat allowing allows Deoxys-S to bounce opposing Taunt from Grimmsnarl and entry hazards from other suicide leads like Shuckle and Smeargle.

notes for amcheck

This was a great check, especially for a first one!
- Abbreviations like maximum/minimum should always be written out fully.
- I split the EVs sentence up with a semicolon to avoid an overlong sentence with 4 different clauses in it; it could just be split into 2 normal sentences instead.
- Resistance to, not resistance against.
- 'x and y' is plural, while 'x or y' is singular. If you're referring to multiple things (teammates, threats, foes etc) then you need to use 'and' in lists of examples to ensure agreement. If you're talking about one thing (a teammate, a threat, a foe etc) then you need to use 'or.' Here, 'opposing sweepers' is plural, so 'or' in that sentence needs to be 'and' to have grammatical agreement.
