Deoxys (Attack Forme)'s Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Deoxys (Attack Forme) PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Deoxys Attack Forme has an absurd attack stat of 414, but its low max CP and lack of defense or stamina mean it won’t stay on the battlefield long enough to be worthwhile. It’s better to stick with something like Mewtwo for your Psychic raid team.

🛡️ Gyms

As a mythical Pokémon, Deoxys cannot currently be placed in a gym.

Deoxys (Attack Forme) PvP Analysis

Preferred Moveset

Poison Jab, Psycho Boost, and Zap Cannon

🔵 Great League

I cannot recommend using Attack Forme Deoxys, outside of a meme pick. This form was not built for PvP and will fold faster than you can imagine.

🟡 Ultra League

Attack Forme Deoxys performs no better in the Ultra League than in the Great League. If you somehow land a charged move without fainting and with shields down, you’ll deal absurd damage to most Pokémon… but sadly, this will be a rarity.

🟣 Master League

Watch how quickly your Attack Forme Deoxys disappears!
