Speed Form Deoxys and Attack Deoxys are actually considered to be the best forms now, with Attack Deoxys being the best overall. Namely because they do their specific roles well and don't really overlap with anyone that does it better. With Defense Deoxys, Giratina, Lugia, and Blissey does its job better. Its 50 base HP really hurts this form, not to mention having a pretty wasted base 90 Speed stat. With Normal Deoxys, Deoxys-A does it better since Normal Deoxy's stat distribution was clearly designed to be a high attack/low defense Pokemon anyway. Mewtwo is considered to be better as well, since Mewtwo's defenses aren't nearly as fragile, and a result, isn't owned as hard by Priority moves. | ||

And Effort is Umbreon (compare their eyes), the dark evolution of Eevee, who is strong against psychic Pokémon like Mewtwo. Umbreon still loses to Mewtwo though. | ||

You obviously don't know how to use Speed Deoxys, or much about Uber battling in general. The point of Speed Deoxys isn't its attack, but its high speed, and actually pretty average defense. It's mainly used as an excellent Support Pokemon/Lead. As a Lead, it can easily get Stealth Rock and Spikes down with a Focus Sash, or 2 layers of Spikes in support of a later Stealth Rock user. It can also be used as a fairly effective Double-Screener, and has the fastest Taunt in the game. These characteristics have earned it spot of #11 of currently used Ubers, while Deoxys-A is at #20, though I consider the threat of A to be a big bigger. Blissey is still a defensive force that should be reckoned with. Being able to tank hits, spread status, Wish support, and Status Healing support should never be underestimated. It can tank even Choice Spec'd attacks, forcing switches. It stops non-Calm Mind Latios and Latias cold in their tracks. It stops Special Palkia and Dialga cold, or at least can make them use up a Draco Meteor. It's powerful Special Defenses have earned the spot of #19 most used Pokemon in Ubers, beating out Deoxys-A, Ho-oh, Mew, Tyranitar, Giratina, Metagross, and Manaphy. | ||
