Deoxys (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

==Biology==

[[File:Deoxys purple crystal Recover.png|thumb|250px|left|Deoxys regenerating]]

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.

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 {{p|Rayquaza}}, with the two often clashing with each other, as depicted in the movie ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and the games {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

===Forms===

Deoxys has four forms: Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, and Speed Forme.

;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.

;Defense Forme

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.

==Game data==

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player can win a [[Meteorite]] from an auction at the [[Porto Marinada Market]] if they own a Deoxys. When used, the Meteorite will cycle Deoxys to its next form in the order of Normal Forme, Attack Forme, Defense Forme, Speed Forme.

|forme4=Speed Forme}}

Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes. In this form, it has very high {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, but low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, alongside a low {{stat|HP}} stat (which remains the same in all of its forms).
