![]() Deoxys-D is one of the best hazard stackers in the meta game period. It has great amounts of bulk that allow it to either get off 1 or even two kinds of hazards being Spikes & Stealth Rock. Deoxys is kinda good for that thing. But, They're some major set backs to Deo-D. One being that it can do nothing to Ghosts. Being the only attack that most carry is Seismic Toss. It could perhaps get off a status like Toxic. But, Gengar laughs at that completely. And can get off a free substitute in it's face. It does have the Taunt to stop it but without investment in Speed. Lot of things can surely get off something before being Taunted. Shown Below, Is mentions of Pokemon & abilities that can completely stop Deoxys-D. Counters Stats: 50/70/160/70/160/90 Edited by Jet Stingren, Dec 5 2013, 03:12:12 AM.

There actually is Mega Absol as well, But avoid that subject. Deoxys-D and Deoxys-S are mainly for utility uses and or trick scarers, There is no real reason for any of them to be Ubers. |

It's not a threat at all to be honest. All it does is set up hazards. Now with the introduction to defog, hazards will be used far less. In my opinion it should be in OU. No one would use Deoxys-D in UBERs anyway. |

- Tho not really a offensive counter. Blissey can definitely eat up Seismic Tosses without a care in the world! With Deoxys HP stat being only at 50. Compared to it's amazing HP stat of 255. Blissey can surely outstall Deoxys with repeated status and Seismic Tosses on it's own.
- Espeon gets a special mention, Due to it's ability of Magic Bounce. While not bulky in the HP field. Espeon can come in on any predicted turn of stealth rocks and or spikes and simply bounces it back at the opponent's team at will. Shutting down Deoxys and forcing it to only attack Espeon.
- Every Gengar runs Shadow Ball. It's common knowledge now in days! Most Gengars tend to run Timid + Life Orb or now with Gengarite. After a LO Boosted hit it will take about 252 SpA Life Orb Gengar Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Deoxys-D: 174-211 (57.23 - 69.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO. And that is fully invested.
- Kyurem-B is not something that has SE damage to it. But, it hits hard and fast. 252+ Atk Choice Band Kyurem-B Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Deoxys-D: 204-240 (67.1 - 78.94%) --guaranteed 2HKO and if you had Stealth Rocks it has a chance to completely OHKO poor Deoxys-D.
- Scizor will forever and always be a counter to Deoxys-D. With it's amazing add new mega forme. It can easily one shot Deoxys-D. With the new megas people are using the SD set alot more than usual now. With the stat & attack boosts it can surely knock it out with a X-Scissor. Or even U-Turn. 252+ Atk Scizor X-Scissor vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Deoxys-D: 150-176 (49.34 - 57.89%) -- 51.95% chance to 2HKO
- Again not really a offensive counter to it. Persay, But this is for the Deoxys-D that don't really carry Taunt. Jellicent can be immuned to Deoxys-D main attack being Seismic Toss. And it can retaliate with Shadow Ball or with a Taunt on it's own.
