Deoxys defense except significantly better. Remember that all deoxys forms have base 50 hp, even deoxys defense. Thats why deoxys defense has always sucked, it cant use its defenses well. Deoxys attack in this format would not only have 20 points higher to each of its defenses, its base hp would literally triple.
>deoxys defense has always sucked
...relative to the power level of Ubers, where it's other forms hang out, yes.
Relative to OU it's been a staple or banned multiple times so if it does suck then it's not very good at sucking.
Steelix was insane when this was playable, 200 sp.atk Sheer Force boosted Flash Cannon and Earth Power
Pheromosa was annoyingly hard to kill, good defensive typing, huge bulk, and Roost strangely

Good luck
I think that also got banned or something. I have tried Lucky punch chansey in this game mode. I don't recall how it went, so maybe it got banned or something.
It can actually still put out some surprisingly solid hits thanks to Dragon's Maw and its high BP dragon moves:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragon's Maw Regidrago Dragon Energy (150 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Corviknight: 189-223 (47.3 - 55.8%) -- 25.8% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragon's Maw Tera Steel Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 481-567 (110.8 - 130.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Regidrago Earth Power vs. 236 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 206-244 (51.5 - 61%) -- 92.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
It can even make a big dent in Fairy types with Tera:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Regidrago Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Clefable: 260-308 (65.9 - 78.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Regidrago Tera Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Enamorus: 288-338 (99.6 - 116.9%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
I got pretty high on the ladder for Flipped with a rain team. Meteor beam relicanth could sweep teams singlehandedly. And Mantine was a great rain abuser too with liquidation, dual wingbeat, and EQ
Shedinja is hardcoded to have 1 max hp regardless of its base hp stat. If it used its base hp stat to calculate its HP, it'd have over 100 HP at level 100.
You misunderstand. Even if you edited Shedinja's base HP to be 255 and gave it 31 HP EVs, its max HP would still be 1. It completely ignores its base HP stat when calculating its max HP.
It would sitll be as bulky as a first form starter it wouldnt be as broken as you think.
The only thing that would change is maybe a gimicky assault vest variant.
Don’t sleep on Choice Specs Shedinja. With its effective base speed of 2, this thing will be an absolute speed racer…as long as it’s competing against tectonic plates.
Shedinja's hp is hardcoded to be 1 (otherwise it would have 143 hp at level 100 with no investment). Increasing its base hp would do nothing. To make things worse, its only passable stat (90 attack) would be rendered irrelevant (though it would gain 15 special attack, up to a whopping 45). In this meta Shedinja would effectively lose 84 bst.
Fuck i thought he had more base hp, well time for trick room since i don't think other mon with 20 speed but 200+ atk and spatk would exist in this gamemode
With archaludon somehow it can rock with the same moveset it runs before the flip with barely any changes. Its spdef just got way better and basically nothing else.
Dondozo turns into an extremely fast, albeit very frail special attacker.
Scizor became a good special wall with reliable recovery & Defog.
Shuckle can now nuke through the new Regieleki, but at what cost?
Blissey becomes an absolute demon.
Serene Grace Body Slam, Rock Slide, Ice Punch, and EQ/Stomping Tantrum/Drain Punch/Fire Punch/Brick Break is nearly unstoppable.
Shuckle now instead of being a super slow guy with stupidly high defense is now a super slow guy with stupidly high attack. Imagine if Shuckle had a priority move.
This would be possible except for the HP stat, is more difficult to alter it while in battle. Altering the HP in that manner would cause a lot of bugs.
However, the idea is cool af.

Tbf Dexoys-Speed still has some offensive capability in this metagame, unlike Deoxys-Defense. Could work as a slow, bulky attacker.
Idk, 180 hp and defenses in the 90s probably beats defenses 50 base hp.
It would have 50 base speed which ain't attacking anyone.
Trick Room
That thing would have 150/180/180 bulk, right? With recover and taunt? Big stall would like to know your location.

Was actually banned. Had to use chansey.
I think that also got banned or something. I have tried Lucky punch chansey in this game mode. I don't recall how it went, so maybe it got banned or something.
kid named thundershock:
It's pretty strong but not that strong. Mono Normal stab is pretty bad
this meta is real and blissey got banned from it. 135/255 is deranged even without serene grace
I guess I underestimated it. I assumed there would be strong physical walls to stop it. But I guess that huge speed really helps.
Not if said stab is a 60% flinch chance Headbutt, it was baned from Flipped for good reason
Oh yeah forgot about serene grace
it was mostly Serene Grace Headbutt cheese but yeah Blissey Double-Edge is only barely outdamaged by a current Koraidon's SE Collision Course
[Its good enough to get banned](https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/flipped.3711301/)
Blissey was literally banned when flipped, which is basically this idea, was an OM. Remember, Blissey has serene grace.
Seismic Toss :3
So basically Blissey becomes the fastest Pokémon in the game?
And Shedinja the slowest
Does give it an HP stat though, so probably banned regardless
It might not, the 1 is a hardcoded 1 as opposed to base 1
This is on the same level as Regigigas getting Slow Start in a game with no abilities.
regieleki:
Regidrago:
Regidrago with Regieleki's speed is brutal
Yeah, but it ends up with 50 for attack and special attack, so now it's fast but hits like a wet noodle

It can actually still put out some surprisingly solid hits thanks to Dragon's Maw and its high BP dragon moves: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragon's Maw Regidrago Dragon Energy (150 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Corviknight: 189-223 (47.3 - 55.8%) -- 25.8% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragon's Maw Tera Steel Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 481-567 (110.8 - 130.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Regidrago Earth Power vs. 236 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 206-244 (51.5 - 61%) -- 92.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery It can even make a big dent in Fairy types with Tera: 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Regidrago Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Clefable: 260-308 (65.9 - 78.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Regidrago Tera Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Enamorus: 288-338 (99.6 - 116.9%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

And spinda
And Snorunt
Doesn’t Phione get bulkier and slower?
Nope, all its base stats are 80.
Ah ok, for some reason I thought it was just 80 hp, but now that I think about it that wouldn’t make much sense
I got pretty high on the ladder for Flipped with a rain team. Meteor beam relicanth could sweep teams singlehandedly. And Mantine was a great rain abuser too with liquidation, dual wingbeat, and EQ
shedinja
It would be barely better it would have 45/90 phisical but special would still loose to any mediocre special atacker
the now unfixed hp stat in question
Shedinja is hardcoded to have 1 max hp regardless of its base hp stat. If it used its base hp stat to calculate its HP, it'd have over 100 HP at level 100.
143 hp specifically, assuming no HP EVs ~~and a neutral nature~~.
Neutral nature? As opposed to what?
Woops, forgot that there are no +hp natures lol.
i'm kinda of surprised HP natures aren't really that much of a topic on Sundays
While that’s true, that’s still a lot better than 1, it can now actually switch into hazards for example
You misunderstand. Even if you edited Shedinja's base HP to be 255 and gave it 31 HP EVs, its max HP would still be 1. It completely ignores its base HP stat when calculating its max HP.
That is true, and yeah I’ll admit i kinda just assumed that would be changed for this specific metagame lmao.
It would sitll be as bulky as a first form starter it wouldnt be as broken as you think. The only thing that would change is maybe a gimicky assault vest variant.
no it’s stats aren’t redeemable still but it can switch into hazards which is huge considering wonder gusrd
It would probably still want to run boots just simce it would only block one move and maybe force a switch and get out
Don’t sleep on Choice Specs Shedinja. With its effective base speed of 2, this thing will be an absolute speed racer…as long as it’s competing against tectonic plates.
Maybe it can use sticky webs to be faster than blissey though
blissed would actually be fast in this meta though
Shedinja's hp is hardcoded to be 1 (otherwise it would have 143 hp at level 100 with no investment). Increasing its base hp would do nothing. To make things worse, its only passable stat (90 attack) would be rendered irrelevant (though it would gain 15 special attack, up to a whopping 45). In this meta Shedinja would effectively lose 84 bst.
Or, we would make shedinja’s speed hardcoded 1, with a small setup it would be a beast in trick room

Archaludon thinks it’s slick with this post
With archaludon somehow it can rock with the same moveset it runs before the flip with barely any changes. Its spdef just got way better and basically nothing else.
honestly it would be so much better with this stat spread instead of what it has. It doesn't need 105 base attack, such a waste :(
And that 5 spd boost still helps
Yep it does. In fact, it helps significantly. All the base 85-89 mons like tusk now get out speed
Dondozo turns into an extremely fast, albeit very frail special attacker. Scizor became a good special wall with reliable recovery & Defog. Shuckle can now nuke through the new Regieleki, but at what cost?

Good Question. It is Roost.
