Deoxys (デオキシス Deokishisu) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Facts

It can change its form to excel in the Speed, Defense, or Attack stats though it is usually caught with equal stats at first. Because of this, 46% of Pokémon players don't like using Deoxys since they don't know which form to use. The other 54% use him anyway and hope for the best. Deoxys was given out in the U.S, Japan and Europe at a movie event. All Deoxys that were retrieved during this event would have known the elusive Destiny Bond, which would make the opponent fall as well if the user is to be defeated in battle. Deoxys can also learn most of the TM moves, making him one of the most powerful legendaries to date. It is a vastly powerful Pokémon, learning many attacks like any other, and is also versatile. In the Pokémon anime and manga, Deoxys has the power to regenerate itself.

Movies

Deoxys appeared in the movie Destiny Deoxys where the purple one tried to free the green egg trapped on the meteorite, however it was attacked by Rayquaza being mistaken as an intruder for trespassing in its territory. They eventually had a duel somewhere in the artic where a group of researchers witness the fierce battle between the two, as Deoxys was about to attack, the electrical surge shielded Rayquaza from its vision, giving Rayquaza the opportunity to regain strength, finally Rayquaza manage to defeat Deoxys and fly back into space, while the green egg in the meteorite was brought along by the researchers.

Four years later, the purple Deoxys had fully healed and track down its friend to LaRousse City, it causes a blackout to the entire city and remove all of the city's inhabitants in order to fulfill its search for its friend, however Rayquaza senced its presence and headed to LaRousse City, Deoxys created a shield around the city, but Rayquaza found a way in and defeated all of the Deoxys clones. Ash and the others were able to provide enough amount of energy to revive the green egg, which hatched into the green Deoxys. The green Deoxys tried to stop the conflict, however the city's security system became haywire and attacked Rayquaza, the two Deoxys helped to defend Rayquaza, however they were overrun by the security robots, luckily Ash was able to deactivate the robot leader using the ID card, Rayquaza now convinced that they weren't intruders flies back to space, the Deoxys bids a farewell to everyone and leaves for space.

Game Info

Forms

Form/Stats	Description	Useful Moves
Normal/ 50-150-50-150-50-150	Basically like a weaker Attack forme, but with slightly higher defenses. Attack forme does a much better job, however.	Psycho Boost, Hyper Beam, Superpower, Focus Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt
Attack/ 50-180-20-180-20-150	Lowest base defenses in the game are offset by its incredible offensive capabilities. Normal and Attack formes both have the same speed stats.	Psycho Boost, Hyper Beam, Superpower, Focus Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Zap Cannon
Defense/ 50-70-160-70-160-90	Some of the best defenses in the game on both spectrums. It is offset by its mediocre HP stat.	Recover, Counter, Mirror Coat, Toxic
Speed/ 50-95-90-95-90-180	It has the most balanced stats. This form also has the highest base speed out of all pokemon.	Psycho Boost, Hyper Beam, Superpower, Focus Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Recover
