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}}. | Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of {{wp|alien}}s and visual representations of the {{wp|nucleic acid double helix}}.

Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. Deoxys' arms (Normal Form) can sometimes be seen as represented by overlapping helix strands, which resemble the double helix coil of DNA. | |||
