[SET COMMENTS]
Boasting high defensive stats and a plethora of utility moves, Deoxys-D makes for an excellent Unaware wall that can check Iron Hands and setup Great Tusk while also providing additional utility like setting entry hazards and pivoting. Spikes is the preferred hazard, as Deoxys-D can usually set multiple layers, but Stealth Rock is an alternative for teams that lack a Stealth Rock setter otherwise, and Knock Off can be used to limit opposing setup threats like Iron Boulder and Quaquaval while also debilitating walls like Corviknight and Swampert. Teleport can be used in conjunction with Deoxys-D's low Speed to safely switch Pokemon in, while Thunder Wave can be used to cripple Gouging Fire and Iron Boulder. Leftovers is the preferred item for extra longevity, but Heavy-Duty Boots is an option on Teleport sets to enable easier pivoting. Defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Mandibuzz appreciate Deoxys-D being able to take on setup threats such as Iron Hands and Iron Boulder, allowing them to better handle Dark-types like Roaring Moon. Offensive Pokemon like Galarian Zapdos, Chien-Pao, and Ceruledge appreciate Deoxys-D being able to weaken opposing walls with hazards or Knock Off, as well as potentially getting them in safely if it's running Teleport. Deoxys-D narrowly avoids 2HKOs from stronger wallbreakers like Iron Boulder, so hazard control options like Scrappy Great Tusk and Corviknight are highly recommended so that Deoxys-D can have more longevity.
