This belongs in GB Strategies & Movesets, but I will respond while a mod moves it there. To be honest, that is not a good moveset. At all. Using a Choice Band on a Poke that only has one physical move isn't good strategy. The moveset isn't helping either. Hyper Beam is the absolute worst move you can have on Deoxys-FR. All your opponent has to do is switch in a Gengar, making it miss, and then it has a free shot to murder your Deoxys since you cannot switch out on the second turn while it has to recharge. Zap Cannon is also a very bad idea. At 50% accuracy, if you miss your Deoxys is dead. It is also a special move, so you won't get any CB boost from it at all. Speaking of special moves, having two Psychic-type moves is redundant and really limits its ability to hit different types.

If you want a CB Deoxys-FR, this would be much more effective:

Deoxys-F @ Choice Band
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 SAtk
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Extremespeed
- Psycho Boost
- Shadow Ball
- Superpower

Extremespeed is a go first move (which you need with such a defensively frail Poke) that does more damage attacking twice in two turns than Hyper Beam can attacking once in two turns. Plus you aren't leaving it hanging out to dry. Psycho Boost is self-explanatory. Shadow Ball can destroy other Psychics and especially Ghosts that might resist your other attacks. Superpower takes out Darks and with the CB boost, your 1 stage Atk drop isn't that bad and who cares about Def?

This is indeed better fitting in the Strategies and Movesets forum, so off it goes.

Psychic Attacks aren't needed since most ubers resist Psychic anyways (plus BoltBeam offers greater coverage).

Because Thunder has a decent 10 PP whereas Blizzard only has 5, Thunder gains full accuracy in rain (Which happens quite a bit since Kyogre is such a common sight in uber), whereas Blizzard's accuracy boost requires Hail (An awful move which no-one in their right mind would use) and even then only reaches 90%, and Thunder has a greater paralysis rate than Thunderbolt, whereas Ice Beam and Blizzard have the same freeze rate. Furthermore, ice attacks are primarily there to nail double weaks (like Rayquaza) and thus don't need as much power to get the job done.

Actually, Hail on boosts Blizzard acc. on NB. Doesn't happen in-game. Just an FYI. You can also use something like Calm Mind/Psychic/Ice Beam/Substitute if you have the Emerald version of Deoxys, which is the one form that comes close to doing a decent job at CMing.

for an in-game pokemon, would my deoxys be better of with Psycho Boost or Psychic and for a completely off-topic Question, does torkoal lose Sp. Atk from using overheat even though it has the white smoke ability?

1st question: Doesn't matter, Deoxys-F kills everything in one hit in-game anyways.

2nd question: Yes.
