Could OU handle it?
>>31760671
it's like pheremosa but with larger stats and priority and spikes and knock off
it doesn't get poison jab though, but it can run tbolt for fini or shadow ball for lele
Not yet. Give it another gen or 2 and you'll see shit like deoxys drop down to OU.
>>31760671
Not yet. Deoxys N is my favorite from but it is in limbo.
It's way too good for OU (unless a few other things drop) but at the same time it will always be overshadowed by Deoxys A.
Maybe if Darkrai, Aegislash (with a ban on king's shield), Blaziken, Giratina-O, Genesect, one of the worst Arceus types, and Shadow Tag Gothitelle were put into the mix a tier between OU and Uber could exist, but that's the only way this could see any play in the near future.
>>31760671
Not really. Its offensive movepool is virtually unwallable and its mixed attacking stats are unmatched by anything else in the tier. It's staying in F-rank Uber until the power creeps a little further.
Why don't Smogon just drop all of the F/E rank Ubers into OU at once?
Deo-N would be centralizing on its own but if there were other equally strong picks it'd be (more) balanced
>>31760987
Because then OU would simply be 13 pokemon instead of 49-53 like it usually is.
>>31760987
the F/E ubers are still on another level compared to the top-tier OU threats.
>>31760987
A lot of people seem to want all of the banned from OU/cutoff and below mons into their own tier, but it would be completely unbalanced. I haven't seen it tried in years, though. I think it would be cool to try.
>>31760671
literally half of the ou wall this shitmon
>>31760987
Because ubers is a ban list first and a tier second. Shit like Deoxys-N is still too strong for OU.
It dies to dugtrio so no
>>31760742
Deoxys does get poison jab.
>>31760671
Honestly i don't believe it could. Between handling hazard control and not getting annihilated by one of its attacks, there's not enough Pokemon available that could take it on
>>31761288
Alolan muk or mimickyu could handle it
The only Deoxys I could see dropping is maybe defense form, and that's only because it's buddy Bisharp isn't really what it used to be with all the overpowering super-fairies and priority nullification going on.
