Strong point: Attack — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Its weakest point is Sp. Def — lower than 79% of species. Overall it is one of the stronger species — above 94% of the Pokédex. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. On defense it has 3 weaknesses and 2 resistances. This is a Mythical Pokémon — it does not appear in normal gameplay; it was handed out at events and through distributions. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack; weak point: HP.
Attack and Sp. Atk share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Which nature to choose
Attack (150) and Sp. Atk (150) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.
- Hasty +Spe · −Def A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
- Lonely +Atk · −Def The same price, but the boost goes into the stronger of the two offensive stats.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry
The DNA of a space virus underwent a sudden mutation upon exposure to a laser beam and resulted in DEOXYS. The crystalline organ on this POKéMON’s chest appears to be its brain.
