Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Deoxys Attack is a psychic-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 600 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with top speed tier (base 150) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Pressure ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Deoxys Attack. Build around what Deoxys Attack actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
