Best Natures for Deoxys

Normal Forme

Best Natures
Jolly (+Spd, -Sp.Atk)	Timid (+Spd, -Atk)

Normal Forme Deoxys' massive offensives and poor defenses mean it's best used as a fast but frail attacker. Thanks to its relatively wide movepool, it can rub either Jolly or Timid depending on your team needs.

Attack Forme

Best Natures
Jolly (+Spd, -Sp.Atk)	Timid (+Spd, -Atk)

Attack Forme Deoxys has higher offenses but very poor defenses, which means it needs to be fast and hit as hard as possible. It can go with either Jolly or **Timid depending on your team's needs

Defense Forme

Best Natures
Bold (+Def, -Atk)

Defense Forme Deoxys' great mixed defensive stats and above-average speed make it a great support Pokemon A Bold nature is the best choice as Deoxys will mostly take physical hits and it still has great Special Defense even without investment.

Speed Forme

Best Natures
Timid (+Spd, -Atk)

Speed Forme Deoxys' balanced stats and massive Speed stat may appear that it's best used as a fast attacker, but it's actually better as a lead support Pokemon. Despite this, it still appreciates a Timid nature so that it can move first against other leads who may be using a Speed-boosting Held Item.
