Deoxys' form is locked to the version you have on the Switch. If you have FireRed, you can only have Deoxys (Attack Form). Likewise, LeafGreen has Deoxys (Defense Form) as its exclusive form. Trading a Deoxys in a different form is also not possible, as doing so will just convert it into the version's exclusive form.

Is Mew in FireRed and LeafGreen?

Mew is Not Available in Game

Pokemon FRLG - Mew Mew

There is no way to obtain Mew in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen for the Nintendo Switch.

In the original releases of the game for the Game Boy Advance (GBA), Mew can only be obtained by trading with an Emerald player who got the Pokemon in Faraway Island.

Are Legendary Pokemon Shiny-Locked?

Legendaries are Not Shiny-Locked

All the Legendary Pokemon in FireRed and LeafGreen are not shiny-locked. If you want to catch shiny variants of the Legendaries, then it's recommended to always save before each encounter so you can soft reset if they don't appear as a shiny!
