It is in this form that Deoxys will be found in the wild on [[Birth Island]], though it will transform after it has been captured, depending on its [[Generation III]] game version.

The Attack Forme is the appearance that Deoxys takes on in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, and it learns noticeably more powerful moves while in this form. Its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats have been maxed out, making it the most powerful of all Pokémon in both aspects, while its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its default form. Its defensive stats, however, take a harsh blow, lowering so much that it is only more powerful in {{stat|Defense}} than seven Pokémon (tied with three others), and is tied for last place in {{stat|Special Defense}} with five others, including {{p|Magikarp}}.

In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, the counterpart version to FireRed, Deoxys takes on a counterpart form to the Attack Forme, the Defense Forme. Whereas the Attack Forme had incredible offensive power (and incredibly weak defensive capabilities), Defense Forme inverts this somewhat, having mediocre offensive power (and a lower Speed stat) and heightened {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. This form of Deoxys learns moves more attuned to attrition than to elimination, raising its already high defenses to protect against opponents' moves rather than attack them before they can attack.
