#386 Deoxys Defense Form
“Deoxys (Japanese: デオキシス Deoxys) is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Deoxys has four forms: Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, and Speed Forme. It can change between its forms by interacting with certain meteorites.
It is associated with Rayquaza.
Deoxys is an alien-like, bipedal Pokémon that has four forms, each focused on a different stat. The main components that are constant for all four forms are dominantly a red color, a light blue face, and three light blue dots on its back arranged in a triangle. There is a purple stripe running down the center of its face and a purple, crystalline organ in its chest. Its white, circular eyes are set inside rectangular, black eye sockets.
Deoxys was formed by the mutation of a virus from space. The Pokémon is highly intelligent; its brain appears to be the crystal in its chest. This organ is capable of firing laser beams. It was also shown the ability to morph its tentacles into human-like hands. While inactive, it can also take the form of a triangular, stone tablet. As shown in Destiny Deoxys, it is able to regenerate any part of its body that it may have lost during a battle. It has also demonstrated the ability to create an aurora without changing its form. These auroras can have different electromagnetic wavelengths and are used to communicate with other Deoxys. It is also shown that the various electromagnetic waves given off by people, Pokémon, and all electronics can obscure its vision if there is enough interference with its communication. Deoxys’s different forms each possess different abilities and techniques.
In Destiny Deoxys and Pokémon Adventures, Deoxys has been observed to create clones of itself. These clones have lifeless eyes and duller color, lack of the trademark crystal on the chest, and seem to be unable to change from the Normal Forme. Furthermore, they seem unable to morph their tentacles into hands. When these clones are defeated, they dissolve into dust-like particles. Deoxys is bitter enemies with Rayquaza, with the two often clashing with each other, as depicted in several media.
Deoxys is an extraterrestrial Pokémon that was coming towards the planet inside the Grand Meteor Delta during the Delta Episode, however, the meteor is destroyed and Deoxys is defeated or caught by the player and Mega Rayquaza.
Deoxys is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Psycho Boost by leveling up.
Deoxys’s Defense Forme has bulky, wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end with a bluish-green spot on each knee. It retains its two pairs of red and blue tentacles, but they are now flat and broad. The head has fused with its body and all protrusions are gone, causing it to resemble a helmet. The reddish-orange skin now covers the entire body, so none of its inner black portions are visible. There is now a single blue stripe on each shoulder, and its tail has disappeared. It is the most defensive form.“-Bulbapedia.
