[@silverthehero1295]

I’m thinking the Deoxys in the meteor attacked because it viewed Rayquaza as the aggressor. Buried in the meteor that was suddenly smashed by an intimidating dragon, why wouldn’t Deoxys assume it was under attack?

[@dirtyrat886]

That’s kinda of like crashing a car (the meteor) into someone’s house (the earth) and being surprised they don’t have a positive reaction and considering Deoxys is described as a mutated virus maybe meteors are how they spread.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

@dirtyrat886 Meteors could also just be how they travel, as the Deoxys that have landed on Earth kind of just sit there (as seen in the Gen 3 events). And considering that they use Psychic powers to manipulate the meteor they are staying in, chances are that Deoxys could have just stopped or greatly slowed the meteor before impact to not planet wipe its new planet. Birth Island from the old games could have very well been made from the meteor that Deoxys came on, and notably the Sevii Islands that are not too far away are still completely intact. Of course, the humans and Rayquaza, not knowing what a Deoxys is, wouldn't let a potentially life-wiping meteor get that close to find out.

[@0OB08O]

@@dirtyrat886 Not if someone tries to explode your car before it hits the house. It was trapped in a meteor and it couldn't be clearer. Deoxys wanted to leave this place and get themselves back in space. And you may think it's not Rayquaza's fault but it's subliminal that Rayquaza overreacted, since the meteor still flew into the bottom of the sea. It was so mad that it attacked.

[@SweetTaleTeller]

Since we have a trend of 7+ odd Pokémon every 2 generations (UBs & Paradox), maybe aliens of the regular Pokémon world could be next. Though People probably wouldn't understand the difference between UBs and non-interdimensional aliens so probably not. Granted not much difference besides one coming out of a portal, and one falling from the sky. Either way, it's Pokémon from another world, and I want more of them. I always found it strange the UBs live alone in their worlds; they must have evolved among some other life, right? I mean, Nihilego is a parasite; what did it adapt that trait for? and we don't even know what Deoxas's world is like at all.

[@SweetTaleTeller]

I'm aware there is more than one Nihilego, I just want to know what else lives in that world because it bothers me if only one species lives in that entire universe because that's not how our world works, Like the main Pokémon world does not just have Pikachus. I'm actually a bit obsessed with the Ultra Beasts and Deosxas, so I love talking about alien Pokémon, I wish we got to see Blacephalon and Stakkatakka's worlds in the video games, but at least we got to see them in the card game if only a glimpse. BTW please forgive me if I misinterpreted what you said.

[@Ghostface1998]

I’ve always liked Deoxys especially its color scheme. It always looked really cool when it would constantly forms in the anime in an instant.

[@RobertLydonReviews]

The mythicals of gen 3 were always so intriguing to me. I also loved the movie Destiny Deoxys. However i will agree it’s very creepy when you explore more about it. The scariest aliens Pokémon i found was Necrozma. It reminded me of the Zenomorph

[@ForgieDusker]

i adore how enigmatic and mysterious Deoxys looks. i've been enamored with it's design since i first learned about it in a book about gen 3 when i was in elementary school, and i think that same allure is why i'm likewise a fan of pokemon like Absol and Annihilape. something about a steely gaze and that particular kind of elegant yet knowing stance is just so raw

[@polybius32]

Despite how epic its Delta Episode segment is, I think my favorite Deoxys appearance is the one in the first Mystery Dungeon game. There, it has its own post game dungeon with an unique mechanic the only enemy in the whole floor is a Mirage Deoxys, and you need to find it and beat it in order to advance to the next floor, until you end up finding the real Deoxys at the final floor. Also, you couldn't bring any party member aside from the team leader, making it a 1v1 between you and Deoxys. It was a hard dungeon, but I loved the atmosphere these conditions created. The remake changing it so much made me a bit disappointed.

[@DrEpicPhD]

What made that dungeon hard to you?

[@polybius32]

@@DrEpicPhD The amount of items you can bring is very limited, there's no food in the dungeon, and each floor's Deoxys is constantly moving, so it's really easy to end up losing by hunger before getting to the final floor.

[@lasercraft32]

What if the "laserbeam" that hit Deoxys came from the Ultimate Weapon from Kalos, in Pokemon XY? That would be a cool lore development imo.

[@jacobfoxfires9647]

Deoxys is S tier in design. It’s actually uncomfortably human enough that it does become uncanny. Especially when the tendrils become hands. Not to mention the emphasis on it being enigmatic is the right choice. We DON’T know what it wants or what its goals are. And it becomes unsettling because of it. Is it the start of an alien invasion? Or a lost traveler that now makes the Pokemon world its home? There is a lot of stories you could tell with this Pokemon. Also shoutout to that one art piece that combines Helldivers 2 and Pokemon. Started with Deoxys and perfectly showcased its uncanny creepiness of it just floating directly in front of the ship’s window. Just staring right in. 10/10

I've always assumed that any non-human creature in the Pokémon world is a Pokémon, regardless of its origin on the Pokémon world or in outer space (Deoxys, Eternatus) or in another dimension (Unown, Ultra Beasts), and hence Poké Balls will always work on them.

[@andrewmalinowski6673]

Didn't Gen1 establish that both Clefairy/Clefable & the Moon Stone came to Earth in a meteor? There was an episode in the anime with a researcher who while not directly calling Clefairy "aliens" he states the theory they're tied to both the Moon an Moon Stone as well as all Pokemon essentially traveling in a "space ark" before crashing on Earth. If you take that idea as canon then anything "Pokemon" is essentially an extraterrestrial with most being "native" after a certain time period and thus Deoxys or anything else could be drawn towards Earth because of a "species link" or something

Perhaps the laser beam could have come from Ultra Space, maybe meaning Deoxys could be a sort of proto-Ultra Beast. Maybe when Necrozma was originally drained of it’s light by the people living in Ultra Space the energy/radiation emitted by it could have been the thing to cause the mutation.

I expected Deoxys to be some ultimate Pokemon villain. Never did see the movie, so that dream of an epic cataclysmic battle for earth against an ultimate adversary just lived on in my mind. Years later, I looked up a synopsis of the movie... imagine my disappointment when I discovered Deoxys was just misunderstood and only wanted to get back together with it's buddy. What a letdown...

Having that movie in my mind I was waiting for that 100th flight, with my Rayquaza on my squad ready to go. I ended up checking in with the Mossdeep space facility worker too late and missed the 100 mark. I thought I lost my shot forever lol.

You can argue in both cases Rayquaza is the aggressor as in the Delta Episode Deoxys is freed because of Rayquaza destroying the meteor it's using as a ship.

The fact that Deoxys’ appears to be immediately intelligent is so weird. Especially in its anime appearances, it’s very clear it’s able to actively think, plan, and has a language system that the characters can’t comprehend. In movie and other episodes it almost always just wants to be left alone, or perceives its actions to be self defense. It’s sad really, it’s a reminder that our tendency to immediately attack what we don’t understand can result in unnecessary conflict.

[@RickyRiceB]

My headcanon is that the triangular egg(spore?) form of deoxys mutates into a humanoid shape is a result of it reading and copying the player’s dna to achieve the bipedal form and gets different tactical combat forms due to also picking up on the player’s experience with mastery over many kinds of pokemon.

CRAZY ENOUGH, it was tradable to Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Emerald got Speed form, and both Ruby and Sapphire were the only way to see normal form.

I remember sending my GBA with Emerald to one of my mom's coworkers in Texas to get Deoxys from the Houston Space Center distribution. Possibly the most anxious I've ever felt waiting.
