Deoxys 

(デオキシス, Deokishisu, /diːˈɒksɪs/) is a species of Pokémon from Nintendo's and Game

Freak's Pokémon media franchise. The result of an extraterrestrial virus's exposure to a laser beam,
[2]
 Deoxys frequently appears around auroras. It is recognized as a Mythical Pokémon of the third
generation. It exists in four forms: Attack, Defense, Speed, and Normal, which differ by base stat
values, effort value yield, and appearance. Originally, there was no Speed Forme; this was added
after the movie.
Deoxys first appeared in the 2002 video games Ruby and Sapphire, accessible via a Nintendo
promotional event known as the Aurora Ticket.[3] This event took place at several events starting
2004 and 2005 and has conitinued onward into the present.[4][5][6] The legendary Pokémon would see
a massive surge of popularity in 2004 and 2005, which was around the same time that the franchise
was quickly regaining its popularity[7], due to various events promoting the Pokemon in the games,
most notably in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as playing a major role in the
film Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys.[8][9][10][11] It has since appeared in several video games and
the Pokémon anime series. The Pokémon has also been featured in official merchandise and a
collaboration with NASA, and has received positive remarks from critics.[12][13][14][15][16][17]

Design and characteristics[edit]

Deoxys's arms resemble the double helix structural form.

Along with all the other third-generation Pokémon, Deoxys was created by Ken Sugimori with the aid
of a development team.[18] Its National Pokédex number is 386, the last of the third-generation
Pokémon.[19] Its name is contracted from the term deoxyribonucleic acid, the long-form name of DNA.
[20]
 The character is associated with auroras, and frequently appears with them.[21][22] It is recognized as
a Legendary Pokémon throughout the franchise, though today it is recognized as a Mythical
Pokémon.[citation needed]
Deoxys has a crystalline organ on its chest considered to be its brain, and is able to shoot lasers and
regenerate its body after any attack.[23][24] Overall, it has an agile body configured for speed.[25] Deoxys
is unique among Pokémon for its ability to change freely between Formes, of which it has four:
Attack, Defense, Speed, and Normal. These Formes differ by base stat values and appearance.[26] In
the Game Boy Advance games, Deoxys's Forme depends on the game version it is used in. In later
games, Deoxys's Forme is changed by having it in the player's party and interacting with certain
meteorites.[27]

Appearances[edit]
Deoxys made its gaming debut is in 2002's Pokémon Ruby  and  Sapphire, but would not legitimately
be made public until Pokémon FireRed  and  LeafGreen in 2004. After visiting a Nintendo promotional
event, the player activates the "Mystery Gift" gameplay option, then visits an in-game PokéMart and
inputs the text "LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL" on a questionnaire. Once it is typed in, the player
could download an Aurora Ticket at an event. This unlocks Birth Island, an island where Deoxys can
be found. The player must follow a triangle at a specific path, and once it turns red, a level 30
Deoxys appears. Another event in which Dexoys and the Aurora Ticket could be obtained was with
the Pokemon Rocks America events which ran from 2003 to 2005, though Deoxys was only
available for the 2004 event and the 2005 event specifically.[28] Deoxys introduces its Attack Forme
in FireRed, Defense Forme in LeafGreen, and then its Speed Forme in Emerald.[26] Deoxys was
distributed to Diamond and Pearl players at GameStop locations in June 2008.[29]
Deoxys, in its Attack Forme, appears as a randomly generated Pokémon springing from the Poké
Ball item and attacking players in the fighting game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Deoxys also returns
in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U as a random generated Pokémon from a Master Ball.[30] In
both games, it'll use the move Hyper Beam. The character's likeness also graces a trophy in this
game.[27] Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs features a mission accessed with Nintendo Wi-Fi
Connection that allows the player to obtain a Deoxys and carry it over to other Pokémon games.[31]
In Pokémon Omega Ruby  and  Alpha Sapphire, Deoxys is available within the game without the
need for event distribution. Deoxys is available at the end of the Delta Episode after beating the
game for the first time. The player must first capture Rayquaza at Sky Pillar at Level 70 to progress
with the story line. After capturing Rayquaza, the player is taken into space to stop an incoming
meteor. As soon as it is destroyed, Deoxys's famous triangle can be seen performing the same
pattern that the player on Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen has to perform to summon
Deoxys. Deoxys appears at level 80 and on par with Arceus and Calryex for the highest level
legendary or mythical Pokémon encountered in any game in the Pokémon series. Should the player
fail to capture Deoxys, then the player will be given a second and final chance to capture it. The
player must defeat the Elite Four for the 2nd time. After this, the player must return to Sky Pillar. At
the same spot where Rayquaza was caught, Deoxys will be waiting there instead and once again at
Level 80.
Deoxys also appears in the mobile game Pokémon Go, where it is obtainable thro
