How to Get Deoxys Formes

Pokemon BDSP - Veilstone Meteorites

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.

Deoxys Type and Abilities

Deoxys can transform into three other forms with each one adjusting Deoxys' stats so it can be more offensive, defensive, or agile. It can also transform back into its normal form with its stats evenly spread.
