I myself only have one Deoxys, so I only have one moveset that I actually use.

Deoxys (Base Form): This is the one I have. EV trained in Sp. Attack and Speed. I've tried to add a bit for the Uber enviroment battling.
Psychic
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast

Instead of nitpicking, post the suggestions you have in mind, and make sure they make sense. My set makes sure it covers the Uber Metagame's popular types that are usually left uncovered.

Like I said, if you feel I left out something, actually post it, instead of just criticizing.

Deoxys-D

Night Shade/Seismic toss-They both do the same amount of damage. It depends on what type coverage you want. Seismic toss has a bit higher PP, 32 to 24 max.

Recover/spikes/toxic spikes/stealth rock-Restores health, or if you're feeling really lucky, you could set up two hazards. The recovery is more important to me.

Spikes/toxic spikes/stealth rock-whichever you deem necessary.

Taunt-Forces opponent into attacking or switching. Either way it keeps them from interrupting you.

My Deoxys-D Moveset:

Deoxys Defense@ Leftovers

Trait: Pressure

EVs: 252 HP, 184 Defense, 72 Sp. Defense

Careful Nature:(-Sp. Attack +Sp. Defense)

  • Rest
  • Sleep Talk
  • Psycho Shift
  • Night Shade

This is my Deoxys Set, which can only be utilized with Deoxys Defense only. Rest+Sleep Talk+Psycho Shift makes a deadly combination if used correctly, putting the foe to sleep. If you happen to get Taunted, Night Shade is there to help with that, causing 100 Damage each time. EVs give it 302, 411, 402 Bulk which is very nice to have. Bulky as can be :)

Maybe Psycho Boost.
not very sure.....as it has a nature that lowers s.attack and with psycho boost it will just kill its special attacking ability and wont even be able to help psycho boost...

Deoxys Attack: @Life Orb

EV's: 252 Spe, 128 Atk, 128 SpA
Trait: Pressure
Nature: Naive (+Spe -SpD)
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball
- Superpower
- Extreme Speed

This set seriously kicks butt, with extreme speed for quick finishing, and superpower to demolish the opponent...but then you are at risk...

This set usually gets 1 or 2 KOes before it falls to priority or super bulky opponent.
Pretty good
Yeah. Good. 8/10

that seems like the perfect moveset i would suggest attack form becuase no one can out run deoxys( other than ninjask) anyway my only suggestion is that if you want to teach it his super move

Deoxys-S @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 200 HP / 20 Atk / 100 Def / 100 SDef / 88 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Psycho Shift
- Facade
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock

S-rocks first turn, then psycho shift Poison to the opponent. If they switch, double pursuit damage. If they don't, double facade damage. A lot of prediction, though.

Wasted EVs, why improve Bulk when it has terrible Bulk?

Don't go crazy with EVs, because it's not doing you any good :P
This isn't Deoxys-Attack's practically nonexcistent defenses we're talking about here.
When invested in HP, 50 / 90 / 90 are actually not bad.
Umm... that's suitable for Deoxys D... :(
Me again. 3/10

Well, because deoxys got new event moves, why don't I use them in a set:
Deoxys speed@ focus sash
enter image description here
EV's: 252speed/ 252 sp att/ 4 hp
Nature: +speed -att
nasty plot
psychic/ ice beam
dark pulse
focus blast
This is his setup sweeper set. He will only be outsped (sometimes) by other deoxys.
Psychic is for STAB. Ice beam is for all of the dragon and flying types in Ubers.

Deoxys Defence Form: @Leftovers

EV's: 252 HP, 252 Spe, 4 (SpD/Def)
Nature: Jolly (+Spe -SpA)
Trait: Pressure
- Recover
- Toxic
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam

This is one of my favourite D-D sets, it has its flaws but is a really reliable moveset.

That's one of the best! Nice!
Also, 8/10
Why not timid? +spe -atk since it has no physical moves :D
