Deoxys Attack Forme

I received an EX Raid Pass for Deoxys, and I was wondering if Deoxys had much use to begin with.
Having the highest attack stat is great, but having the 4th worst defense in the game sounds terrible, and I was wondering if there was any use for Attack Forme Deoxys. I don't see it being useful in PVP due to it's horrible defense, it might deal damage quickly and might cause the opponent to use up their shields, but I really see no other use for Deoxys (attack) other than having it as a novelty due to its rarity. (Being an EX Raid pokemon)

For raids, your best bet is to give it PJ/DP and use it as a lead for some very brief sky-high DPS.

I'd be curious to see how it fares as a late-game sweeper in PvP, to be used after your opponent has blown through their shields.

That's what I was thinking for PVP, only usable in Great League as a sweeper at the end, use it as almost a surprise. It would be a gamble though, most pokemon could kill it without even using a charge move.
When/If I catch mine, I'll get back with you and let you know if it has any use as a sweeper in Great League.

Fingers crossed for a/d/s spread of 12/15/15. You can power it up once and hit 1500cp on the dot.
