On the occasion of the Week of the Enigma and in a very limited way, the legendary of the Hoenn region will be seen in the raids of level 5.
Deoxys is back in Pokémon GO and does so in a very limited way. During Engima Week only, the Legendary from the Hoenn region will appear in level 5 raids (here you can find all the raid bosses for the month of August).
Enigma Week will run from Friday, August 7, 2020 at 10:00 PM CEST to Friday, August 14, 2020 at 10:00 PM CEST; Those are the dates when we can see Deoxys in the raids, including the possibility of meeting his shiny / variocolor variant.
All about Deoxys in the Legendary Raids
As we said, the availability of Deoxys in raids is very limited: from August 7 to 14, but it is enough if we organize ourselves well with our friends. According to our calculations, four people at level 40 is enough to kill him but we recommend going with at least a good team. In normal form, his base stats are 345 aTQ, 115 DEF, and 137 stamina with 3160 CP at level 40.
But let’s go to the breakdown, what forms of Deoxys will be available? The short answer is that they will all be, but the long answer is somewhat more complex. Let’s get to know each of them closely and the best opponents that we can use to defeat them in combat after the Raid. We remember that it is weak to Ghost, Sinister and Bug.
Deoxys Normal Form
Pokémon GO – Deoxys Normal
Let’s start with the normal form, a Pokémon with 50,271 CP and statistics of 345 in Attack, 115 in Defense and 137 in health. His ability to use Zen Headbutt is the greatest of our concerns in fast attacks, although in charged ones the worst thing is that he hits us with Hyper Beam. Their guarantee counters are, without a doubt, Giratina original form (Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball), Mewtwo (Psychocut and Shadow Ball), Tyranitar (Bite and Shred) and, as a reserve exception, Gengar (Lick and Shadow Ball) Shadow). We know that having Giratina is not easy, but with a good Tyranitar in attack statistics we can solve more than a minute of combat if we have fog as weather.
Deoxys Attack Form
Pokémon GO – Deoxys Attack
We continue with the Attack form. In this case, his statistics are somewhat more moderate in everything that is not Attack, where he is a real beast. Take note: 414 in Attack, 46 in Defense and 147 in health. The strategy is clear: good attackers. The sooner we finish him off, the fewer times he will make one of his charged attacks, which can be Electrocannon (140), Dark Pulse (80) or Psycho attack (70). In this case, it is best to repeat with Giratina in original form (Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball), Tyranitar (Bite and Crush) and Honchkrow (Scream and Dark Pulse), the latter especially meritorious for not being legendary or one of the best in the world. competitive scene. In this case it is extremely useful because of the weakness to Sinister.
Deoxys Defense Form
Pokémon GO – Deoxys Defense
A real tank. Deoxys Defense form has no less than 330 Defense, 144 Attack and 137 Health. We must not trust ourselves with their low offensive levels by charged attacks like Thunderbolt and Avalanche; It is better to avoid any Rock and Electric type Pokémon, so our recommendation is, once again, Giratina in original form (Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball), Gengar (Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball) and, if we have been lucky and we have it Already in our team, Deoxys in Attack form (Noxious Puja and Shadow Pulse) for obvious reasons that we have just seen: a vertigo attack.
Deoxys Speed Form
Pokémon GO – Deoxys Speed
The Speed form has very balanced stats, with 230 Attack, 218 Defense, and 137 Health. It does not have any attack that can give us too many headaches, only Lightning, so in this fight it is best to use your head and not risk; The strategy is similar to fighting Deoxys in Normal form: Giratina original form (Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball), Mewtwo (Psychocut and Shadow Ball) and Tyranitar (Bite and Shred).
