Attack Deoxys Raid Guide for Pokémon GO: Tales of Transformation

Deoxys returns to Pokémon GO in all four of its Formes this October. With this Raid Guide, you can build a team to defeat its Attack Forme.

The September, October, and November season of Pokémon GO, titled Tales of Transformation, continues this month. This season focuses on Mega Evolution, Gigantamax power-ups, and form changing. For the second month of Tales of Transformation, Five-Star Raids will feature Deoxys (including Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed Formes), Genesect (including standard, Douse, and Shock Drives), and Giratina (including Origin and Altered Formes). Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Sceptile, Mega Blaziken, Mega Swampert, Mega Mawile, Mega Salamence, Mega Gengar, Mega Sableye, Mega Absol, Mega Banette, and more. We will also see the debut of two Mega forms in Raid Days, including Metagross and an as-of-yet unannounced arrival. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Attack Forme Deoxys, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let's get into it.

Top Attack Forme Deoxys Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Attack Forme Deoxys counters as such:

• Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Shadow Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Mega Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
• Shadow Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
• Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
• Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play
• Shadow Regigigas: Ghost-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
• Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Attack Forme Deoxys with efficiency.

• Black Kyurem: Shadow Claw, Freeze Shock
• Eternatus: Dragon Tail, Dynamax Cannon
• Kingambit: Snarl, Foul Play
• Dawn Wings Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Moongeist Beam
• Crowned Shield Zamazenta: Metal Claw, Behemoth Bash
• Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Force
• Crowned Sword Zacian: Metal Claw, Behemoth Blade
• Dusk Mane Necrozma: Shadow Claw, Sunsteel Strike
• Regigigas: Ghost-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
• Darkrai: Snarl, Shadow Ball

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Attack Forme Deoxys can be defeated by a solo player. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.

Shiny Odds & 100% IVs

The Shiny rate for Mythical Pokémon in Five-Star Raids is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Attack Forme Deoxys will have a CP of 1474 in normal weather conditions and 1842 in boosted conditions.
