With an alien-like form and hints of it being from outer space, many believe Deoxys arrived on a meteor. It also has four distinct forms, which are normal, attack, defence, and speed. These each drastically change Deoxys appearance and stats, as it takes on a size and shape that befits its new abilities. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-deoxys-3.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-39217 lazyload\" title=\"pokemon-go-deoxys (3)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go Deoxys: key art shows the red and blue space Pokemon based on DNA, known as Deoxys\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-deoxys-3-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>How do I encounter Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys?<\/h2>\n<p>Currently, the only way to encounter Deoxys in Pok\u00e9mon Go is through five-star raids. <\/p>\n<h2>Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys raid schedule<\/h2>\n<p>All of Deoxys\u2019 four forms are available in five-star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/pokemon-go\/raids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pok\u00e9mon Go raids<\/a> from September 1, 2022, through to September 13, 2022. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-deoxys-2.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-39218 lazyload\" title=\"pokemon-go-deoxys (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go Deoxys: key art shows the red and blue space Pokemon based on DNA, known as Deoxys\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-deoxys-2-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>How to counter and catch Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys<\/h2>\n<p>All four forms of Deoxys share the same type, which happens to be psychic. As a result, Deoxys is vulnerable to ghost, dark, and bug Pok\u00e9mon. Because of this, here are some of the best counters to use in five-star raids. Remember your weaknesses as well, so while Buzzwole looks like a big beefy boy ready for the task, as a fighting-type, it\u2019s at a disadvantage. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mega Gengar<\/li>\n<li>Tyranitar<\/li>\n<li>Obstagoon<\/li>\n<li>Hoopa<\/li>\n<li>Darkrai<\/li>\n<li>Chandelure<\/li>\n<li>Mega Houndoom<\/li>\n<li>Weavile<\/li>\n<li>Hydreigon<\/li>\n<li>Yanmega<\/li>\n<li>Mewtwo (Shadow Ball)<\/li>\n<li>Genesect<\/li>\n<li>Mega Scizor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do I change Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys form?<\/h2>\n<p>Sadly, in Pok\u00e9mon Go, it\u2019s not possible to change Deoxys\u2019 form like in previous entries. If you want to catch one of the specific forms, you need to find a raid with that form. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-deoxys-5.jpg\" class=\"gallery\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-legion-featured-2022 wp-image-39221 lazyload\" title=\"pokemon-go-deoxys (5)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/themes\/legion\/dist\/images\/lazyload_placeholder.svg\" alt=\"Pokemon Go Deoxys: key art shows the red and blue space Pokemon based on DNA, known as Deoxys\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/wp-content\/sites\/pockettactics\/2022\/09\/pokemon-go-deoxys-5-550x309.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>How do I get Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys shiny?<\/h2>\n<p>In Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys isn\u2019t shiny locked, meaning you can find a shiny version if you\u2019re very lucky. The shiny odds are the same as any other raid \u2013 the average rate of a shiny is one in 500. However, if you encounter the featured Pok\u00e9mon in a raid on a specific raid day, the odds increase to around one in 25. It\u2019s still not ideal (you\u2019d better get saving coins), but it\u2019s a bit easier. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all we have today, and we hope this Pok\u00e9mon Go Deoxys guide helps you to catch the meteoric mythical \u2018mon.
