In-Depth Analysis
Deoxys totals 600 across its base stats, profiling as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Lean on its Attack (180) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Defense (20).
Defensively, the Psychic combination gives Deoxys 2 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Deoxys a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2, Special Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
