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

Deoxys has four forms - a neutral form found in Ruby/Sapphire/Colosseum, an attack mode found in FireRed, a defense mode found in LeafGreen and a Speed mode found in Emerald.

Deoxys has the ability pressure, which causes opponents to use 2 PP per move.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything.

Deoxys' signature move is Psycho Boost.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

The DNA of a space virus underwent a sudden mutation upon exposure to a laser beam and resulted in Deoxys. The crystalline organ on this Pokémon's chest appears to be its brain.

Pokémon Sapphire

Deoxys emerged from a virus that came from space. It is highly intelligent and wields psychokinetic powers. This Pokémon shoots lasers from the crystalline organ on its chest.

Pokémon Emerald

A Pokémon that mutated from an extraterrestrial virus exposed to a laser beam. Its body is configured for superior agility and speed.

Pokémon FireRed

This Deoxys has transformed into its aggressive guise. It can fool enemies by altering its appearance.

Pokémon LeafGreen

When it changes form, an aurora appears. It absorbs attacks by altering its cellular structure.

Name origin

Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

It appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the Missingno. glitch.
