Want to get a Deoxys in its normal form? Do you even want to farm the Pokémon for a chance at the Shiny form? Then buffed is the right place for you, because we have the latest counter guide for Deoxys (Normal Form) in Pokémon Go!

Update from February 14, 2022: Deoxys (Normal Form) has not been available in Pokémon Go for a super long time, because the Pokémon was actually only available via the invitation-limited EX Raids. However, since the Corona Pandemic has taken over the world, EX Raids have been paused and therefore you can look forward to lots of Deoxys in Tier 5 Raids. This was the case after Pokémon Go Fest 2021 and is also true for Johto Tour 2022. Deoxys (Normal Form) will spawn from February 16, 2022 starting at 10:00 am until February 19, 2022 at 10:00 am – accordingly, Deoxys (Normal Form) will be the star of the Legendary Raid Hour on February 16, 2022 between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm. So if you want to have Deoxys as a Shiny, you should keep Wednesday evening free! Here is an overview of the current best counters for Deoxys (normal form) in Pokémon Go!

Pokémon Go: Deoxys (Normal Form) as Raid Boss

Deoxys is a mysterious Pokémon, as mentioned above, and belongs to the Psycho type, and should therefore be challenged to battle with Unlight or Spirit attackers. As a raid boss, Deoxys (normal form) has 50,271 CP and is boosted to level 25 in windy conditions. Accordingly, his possible instant attack Zen Headbutt and charge attack Psyschub then cause more damage – fortunately, Unlight attackers in particular take this relatively well without batting an eye. Deoxys (Normal Form) can also use Charge Beam (Electro, Instant), Lightning Cannon (Electro, Charge), and Hyper Beam (Normal, Charge), but even these shouldn’t be too dangerous for your chosen fighters. If you want your Unlight and Spirit fighters to really hit the ground running, attack Deoxys (Normal Form) in Fog.

You should go into battle with the following Pokémon:

Giratina (Original Form) with Dark Claw and Haunted Ball.
Skelabra with Burden and Spookball
Darkrai with tirade and dark aura
Trikephalo with bite and dark aura
Despotar with bite and gnashers
Mewtu with psycho blade and spookball
Genesect with wrath blade and cross scissors
Snibunna with tirade and parasite
Gengar with dark claw and spookball
Regigigas with power reserver and gigastroke
Scherox with Fury Blade and Cross Scissors

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
