Pokemon GO: Deoxys Encounter Guide

As a devoted Pokémon GO player, I’ve been noticing an incredible surge in Deoxys appearances lately. Known for its alien origin, Deoxys is one of the rarest Pokémons out there. What sets Deoxys apart is that it transforms into four distinct forms depending on which Pokémon it clashes with in battle. This aspect is crucial because while Deoxys seldom appears in the wild, it predominantly shows up during Deoxys Raid Events.

For each of these Deoxys, there’s a common vulnerability that players can exploit. To overcome Deoxys effectively, consider using Pokemon from Bug, Dark, or Ghost types, as they inflict 160% damage on Deoxys. Some top choices for battles with Deoxys include Chandelure, Mega Tyranitar, Shadow Tyranitar, Mega Banette, and Dawn Wings Necrozma. However, if you don’t have these specific Pokemon, Fighting-Types and Psychic-Types still deal damage but at a reduced rate of 63%.

After successfully defeating Deoxys in a raid, utilize a Golden Razz Berry and perform an optimal or excellent curved throw. Doing so will provide the player with the highest likelihood of capturing Deoxys.

Players should also be aware that there is a shiny version available for each of the Deoxys.
