Thanks for watching! I tried something new with this video, making it a bit longer, but making it more in depth.

With the recent release of the Indigo Disk, we've seen Deoxys Speed and Darkrai drop from Ubers, down into the OU tier for the first time, and we see the affects of it sharply now, but in National Dex, why won't Deoxys Speed be dropping? With Darkrai being suspect tested, this question has arised from a few players, and this video is to clear up how it'd affect the metagame, and how it'd function amongst a team in OU. Thanks for watching, subscribe if you enjoyed!

    Honestly national dex is rarely talked about so it's nice to have some insight when you don't know the tier
  • Darkrai’s signature move was nerfed in Gen 7. Also, albeit for a brief time, Deoxys and all of its forms were in OU in Gens 5 and 6.

    Great vid Deoxys speed is legit my favorite mon so I'm hype for him to OU in S/V

    Regular OU has too many bulky offensive threats for deo-s rn. I imagine it could go from UU to Ubers if a few were banned.
  • Meanwhile deoxys-s is battling fraud allegations and has fallen to UU in non-natdex
