The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe th goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were it's arms would be. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of it's head.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of it's body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point.

In the anime

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 La Rousse 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 forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!. This is where Deoxys's Speed form debuted.

Name origin

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