Deoxys is an alien-like, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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. Typically, 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. As shown in Destiny Deoxys, some Deoxys can have a green crystalline organ and facial stripe.

As shown in Destiny Deoxys, some Deoxys can have a green crystalline organ and facial stripe.


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. As shown in the anime, 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. This Pokémon came from [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|outer space from inside of a meteor]]. 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.

;Attack Forme
While in its Attack Forme, Deoxys's legs remain tapered. However, its blue stripes are no longer segmented and run the entire length of the leg and there is now a large spike on the knee. Two pairs of whip-like tentacles with pointed tips, one reddish-orange and one blue, replace its previous coiled, blunted tentacles. The protrusions on its head are now triangular with an additional one extending from the top of its head. Most of its reddish-orange skin has receded, revealing a striated, black chest and abdomen. Finally, its tail is now longer and more pointed.

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.

===Main series===
[[File:Deoxys Normal Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Normal Forme Deoxys in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Deoxys (M07)]]=====
Deoxys debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. Two fell to the {{pkmn|world}} in a meteorite; one had a green crystalline organ, and the other had the standard purple one. When the Deoxys with the green crystal (which spent most of its time as a crystal in the {{pkmn|movie}}) was taken to [[LaRousse City]], the purple crystal Deoxys followed behind and began to search for it. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal, and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.
=====[[Deoxys (anime)]]=====
A Deoxys appeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'', where its {{stat|Speed}} Forme made its debut. The DNA Pokémon played a major role in this episode and [[AG172|the follow-up episode]].
=====Other=====
In ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'', a Deoxys was seen in all of its Formes. It crash-landed as a meteor on a deserted island in the middle of [[Diablo's Ocean]], shattering upon impact and leaving only its crystal. As a result, the local {{type|Water}} Pokémon worked together to gather meteor fragments to help restore it. This eventually worked after receiving help from {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
In [[PK21]], a Deoxys saved Pikachu, Piplup, and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Skitty}} when they all fell from a stone staircase.
In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', a Deoxys was battling {{p|Rayquaza}} in outer space. The battle accidentally caused one of the meteors to head towards [[Alola]], though it was ultimately cut up by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}}, saving the [[region]] from harm. In the episode, Deoxys appeared in its Normal and Defense Formes.
====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', two Deoxys were soaring across the sky in their Normal Formes.

An Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes be released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It floats towards the top of the screen and does a spin. It will then shoot a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying. Coming in contact with Deoxys's body will do damage.
====Trophy information====
''A DNA Pokémon born through the mutation of the DNA of a space virus. It has multiple Formes, and the abilities it possesses and the techniques it can remember change from forme to forme. It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].''

An Attack Forme Deoxys will sometimes be released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. It floats towards the top of the screen and does a spin. It will then shoot a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}, drawing in all the opponents near it and sending them flying. Coming in contact with Deoxys's body will do damage.
 
====Trophy information====

It has four forms: normal, attack, defense, and speed. It can be made to change forms by using the power of a meteorite in [[Veilstone City]].''

===Origin===
===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of {{wp|alien}}s and visual representations of the {{wp|nucleic acid double helix}}. It may also be more loosely based on {{wp|virus}}es and {{wp|mutation}}. It also strongly resembles the shape of a {{wp|chromosome}}, a package containing much of the {{wp|DNA}} of an organism. This makes sense due to its ability to duplicate, just like a chromosome does during {{wp|cell division}}.
