Deoxys (Japanese: デオキシス Deoxys) is a Psychic-type legendary Pokémon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it has three other Formes. In Generation III, its Forme depends on which game cartridge it is on and cannot be changed without trading.

In later generations, its Forme can be changed at will in Veilstone City, Route 3, or Nacrene City.

Biology

Physiology

Deoxys regenerating

Deoxys is an alien-like bipedal Pokémon that has four formes, each with a different appearance. The main components that are constant for all four formes are a dominant reddish orange color, with a bluish-green face and three dots similar in color to its face situated in an upward pointing equilateral triangle on its back. There is typically a purple stripe on the face where a nose would be and it has a purple crustalline organ in its chest that resembles a cell's nucleus. Its eyes are white and circular inside black eye sockets shaped like rounded parallelograms. In the anime, there is a second Deoxys that has a green crystalline organ and stripe on its face.

In its Normal Forme, it has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper legs have a single, segmented blue stripe that goes down to the knees. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its black, vertically lined abdomen. Its arms are often in the form of two pairs of cord-like tentacles, red and blue, sometimes coiled in a double helix. It can reform these tentacles into bluish-green humanoid arms with five-fingered hands, with a red Y shape running down the arms' length. It also has two trapezoid-shaped ears and a short tail.

In its Attack Forme, it has skinny legs that come to a point, with the stripes no longer segmented and run down for mostly all of the legs' length, with a large spike on each knee. In place of its arms, it has a pair of whip-like tentacles that come to a point where its hands would be. It has triangle-shaped ears and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange skin has disappeared to reveal even more of a black, lined inner body, with the lines shown to converge at the crystalline organ.

In its Defense Forme, it is bulky and thick, has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. It has flat, broad tentacles that cannot be twisted and hang down to the ground when it is not defending itself. Its head has been fused with its body, resembling a helmet. Its skin has thickened and covered all of its body parts.

In its Speed Forme, it has a sleek gray body. It only has one tentacle on each side of its body; one red, one blue. The back of its head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange skin from its body and has narrow appendages, making it streamlined and aerodynamic. Almost all of its body is shown to be of black matter, and the lines cover the entire length of its body, from the ends of its legs to its neck.

Deoxys is highly intelligent and can use psychokinetic powers which are useful for its signature move Psycho Boost. As shown in in the anime, it is able to regenerate any part of its body that it may have lost during a battle. It is also shown to be able to create an aurora without changing its forme, and can communicate with other Deoxys with auroras of different wavelengths. In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes, have dulled-down colors, lack of the trademark crystal on the chest, and appears to be unable to use other Formes besides Normal Forme. Unlike Normal Forme for a non-clone Deoxys, clones appear to only use its "tentacles" rather than the hands its tentacles can morph into. When these clones are defeated, they dissolve into shiny dust-like particles. It is said to have come from outer space from inside of a meteor.

In the anime

Major appearances

Defense Forme Deoxys in the anime

Deoxys (M07)

Deoxys first appeared in Destiny Deoxys. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to LaRousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with Rayquaza. As Pokémon Emerald had not been released when the movie was produced, only its Defense, Normal and Attack Formes appeared.

Other

Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the special episode Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!.

A Deoxys appeared in Cheers on Castaways Isle! in all of its formes.

Deoxys appeared in PK21, in which it saved Pikachu, Skitty, and Piplup.

In the manga

Deoxys in its Defense Forme in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Deoxys (Adventures)

Two Deoxys play major roles in the events of the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, referred to as Entity One and Entity Two.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Deoxys plays a large part in a special chapter of volume 3 in the series. Hareta and Mitsumi come upon a large meteorite in Veilstone City. Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a Drifloon. A Murkrow flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a Bibarel's stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, Mars and some grunts see the crash, and begin to battle it, but to no avail.

Deoxys in its Defense Forme in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Professor Rowan shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off a Psycho Boost at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any angrier, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Psycho Boost at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. Onix tries to Headbutt it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of Kricketune to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Psycho Boost, this time hitting a Drifloon. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

Trivia

  • The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base Attack and Special Attack of any non-glitch Pokémon.
    • The Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest Speed base stat of any Pokémon.
    • The Defense Forme of Deoxys has the highest Defense and Special Defense base stats of any Psychic-type Pokémon.
    • Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest Special Defense base stat of all Pokémon, on par with Magikarp and Carvanha.
      • Its Attack Forme has both of the lowest individual base stats of any legendary Pokémon.
  • It has the lowest HP base stat of all legendary Pokémon, with 50 base HP in all four forms.
  • Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
  • When recruited in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld; however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
    • Deoxys is also one of two Pokémon that has defenses over 100 at Level 100 if not given any vitamins or Gummis, the other being Lugia.
  • In Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys's form changes every time its Browser entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
  • In the anime and in Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the Pokémon Adventures manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
  • Due to the cause of Forme change in Generation III being the game Deoxys is in, only Speed Forme Deoxys is banned from the Battle Frontier, as only Speed Forme Deoxys is obtainable in Emerald.
  • In the games, Hoenn, the Sevii Islands, and Orre* are the only regions where all four Formes have not been available.
  • Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music.
  • Using the first letter from the names of three of Deoxys' formes, one can spell "DNA" (Defense, Normal, Attack). The letter "s" at the ending of Deoxys's name could stand for Speed.
  • Before Generation V, Deoxys was the only Pokémon whose stats were recalculated (to apply gained effort points to its stats) immediately after a battle. Other Pokémon had to level up, use the box trick, or be fed a vitamin or stat-reducing Berry in order to have the effort values applied to their stats.
  • While in the wild, or while looking at a Deoxys belonging to another player (e.g. while trading), it will appear in its Normal Forme.

Origin

Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens and visual representations of the DNA double helix.

Name origin

Deoxys is an abbreviation of deoxyribonucleic acid—or DNA—the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms. It was mentioned in the 7th movie that Professor Lund gave it the name Deoxys.
