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?
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.
@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.
@@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.
@@Jordan-dr3woI'd like to think that similar to Pikachu, Rayquaza breaks out of your pokeball whenever it fucking wants to in order to protect Earth :^)
It's one thing to remember DNA is a acronym (which I forgot/didn't know), it's a whole other ordeal to actually remember that bundled up mess of a word xD
That wouldn’t explain its existence in the timelines where mega evolution doesnt exist. I always assumed that Rayquaza hyper beaming the asteroid the virus was on was the cause of its mutation into Deoxys
@@theredblooperThey kinda moved on from the non-mega timeline though, plus the ultimate weapon literally fired a beam of life... S it ain't too farfetched.
I thought this was a given that it was his laser...ok so normal lore doesnot specify directly that it was AZ's laser but hints it indirectly???...i guess i am the only one with such a simplistic view on this
Couldn't be. AZ's cannon never is set off in the original Gen 3 games (which are canonically a separate universe to the mega evolution universe as explained by Zinnia in the delta episode of ORAS)
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
Super true!! Deoxys has the perfect amount of mysterious lore and design. And the helldivers fan art is awesome! Happy to find another with distinguished taste. 👍
The eyes bro, if the eyes did not looked like that,if only they were different, but no, Deoxys eyes are what give him that uncanny feel, those cursed eyes bro
i love the gen 3 event because of the contrast between the cute little innocent puzzle that you do and then the music getting scary and this terrifying alien getting unleashed by the players curiosity.
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
When official media focuses on Deoxys' eyes, I love that they choose to make them seem fake, like they are just face markings ad that he only only has them because we have something simillar
Deoxys most DEFINITELY scared me when I was younger, and so did its battle theme back in Gen 3 days. I have grown to love it and it’s theme as well as appreciate the cooler premise of not all Pokemon are necessarily terrestrial animal like beings of earth and can very well be “alien” if you will.
Deoxys being so ungodly powerful for what was just a microscopic virus at first is also pretty terrifying. I feel like a larger or more potent strand would’ve become something unstoppable.
Deoxys is an interesting pokemon it brings a lot of questions to the franchise like how many of the pokemon we know about that are actually native to earth in the pokemon world and i wish they did more alien pokemon its a neat but fun idea like mew it kinda looks kinda like an alien pokemon
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.
also, Starmie and Pokémon like it are amazing; if they have other worlds, I also want to know. I find it sus Starmie and Deoxas both have crystal middles as well.

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
Always nice to know I'm not the only one who still really appreciates Deoxys's concept and lore (and movie and Generations short, too)! It's been my favorite since 2003 or 2004 and I honestly don't foresee anything taking its place at this point.
Deoxys drew the line between Pokemon "from space" (Solrock/Lunatone, Clefairy & Minior) and "Actual Freaking Space-Aliens!" Pokemon (Elgyem/Beheeyem & the Ultra Beasts)
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 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.
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.
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
Shoutout to the "Pokemon Cryptids" video. There's been a few examples of regular animals showing up in official artwork or in the anime, but i don't think anyone at the pokemon company has thought too hard about it 😅 They seem to avoid doing that kind of thing nowadays, so yeah. Basically everything that's not a human is a pokemon.
I'm personally more partial to the story they gave Deoxys in the Pokemon Adventures manga in FireRed and LeafGreen. Somehow tying it to the Kanto Pokedex Holders and also tying it later in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Arc is so great!
There's a reason Deoxys was a major component in the villain scheme when I was running a Pokemon D&D game (the bad guys were essentially trying to do an upgraded version of the Mewtwo and Type Null experiments)
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.
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. Had Rayquaza not started attacking immediately, Destiny Deoxys may have not occured with the scientists freeing the other one. While Deoxys appear mostly passive when left to themselves, if provoked one will quickly find they are combat ready beyond most Pokemon.
I had a little plastic figure of this thing as a kid. I thought it was really cool, but until this day I didn't even know what it was. To be honest, I completely forgot it existed until I saw the thumbnail.
The laser beam thing came into being with rayquaza in Mystery Dungeon, where it’s role is to protect earth’s atmosphere from external stuff, so it’s laser is what interacted with rayquaza’s laser Interestingly to note is that Deoxys’ shiny colours VAGUELY have similar color hues to rayquaza’s main colours of green and yellow, so that’s always interesting to think about
That note about the meteor in Delta Episode made me realize that there is a lot of similaritied between Deoxys and Chrono Trigger's Lavos. Makes me wonder if the big guy has some biological failsafe for if it fails to make contact with a planet similar to a Deoxys-like mutation.
I remember the hype around Deoxys when I was a kid, and how frustrated I was that there was no way to catch it without attending special events. I also remember hearing speculation about the (then) upcoming movie, and the big fight between Rayquaza (my favorite legendary at the time) and this mysterious virus from space. 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...
I saw Destiny Deoxys first and when I saw the anime, I was super confused as to why Deoxys suddenly went bald 😐 It was his defense form, never shown in the movie
it is interesting to think that the "Laser Beam" may have been a Hyper Beam from Rayquaza. and it mutated to adapt to the new threat, becoming a "Pokémon". i love the idea, the concept, of "you create your own worst enemy"
I remember playing my copy of Pokémon White that had a Deoxys on it, since my cousin gave it to me. Imagine my shock and surprise when I found out it could even change forms. At first, I jumped because I saw the sprite of Speed Form Deoxys in battle. Then I looked into it more and found myself fascinated when I saw it had different forms.
I hate that I missed these distribution events back in the day.(being a kid and all) I will say it did make this Pokémon feel more mysterious. You hear about it from some kid at school and that’s all you knew about it until a movie or you happened to hear about the distribution event. I wish there was a little more fanfare with the newer releases.
I remember looking at Deoxys' official artwork as a kid and it scaring the shit out of me, to the point where I couldn't look at another picture of Deoxys for a month.
I mean, Pokémon form bonds through shows of compassion and strength. Legendary Pokémon only join us because they view our strength as surprising. A Master Ball isn’t gonna stop Kyogre from escaping if it wants to flood the world. It’s merely a matter of appealing to the godly being’s sense of fun and introspection. So, yeah, if the protagonist wasn’t essentially their region’s Jesus, most games would end with death.
Deoxys, alongside Jirachi are my absolute favourite mythical pokemon, I started with pokemon Ruby, and just gen 3 as a whole, and those two had so much mystery involving them, like why couldnt I get them, but I had access to every other pokemkn in the dex, between playing and trading, but nobody had these aliens Pokemon. One day, a friend got pokemon colosseum as well as the bonus disc, and I got given the Jirachi, but still never any sign of Deoxys, I have actually thought about finding a "Legitimate" means of getting Deoxys, just to experience first hand the majesty of Deoxys in one of my own games. ❤
@@GatorEX in game of sun and moon, wormholes called warpholes and miles from earth made not alter universes maybe cab travel light years ahead between dimensions of the same universe
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.
The thing with alien creatures outside of earth is that, we don't know what kind of species there currently are outside of the solar system. One of them, interviewed in the 1950s, depicts an alien with the ability to talk through telepathy and huge black eyes with no pupils, who despises humans and doesn't trust them giving info unless kindly asked and such (knowing how the government treats us human beings as much as it would with their own monster creations and such). On the other hand, the xenomorphs are usually referred to as animal/feral aliens that sees humans are new tasty food to want to kill and eat, same with the insect aliens. So in reality, even if we try to find aliens out there, we also need to know how to do food, water, and electric production, as well as our own version of the world wide web in order for many people to enjoy posting stuff online as well as accessing the site in a way that takes shortcuts too and from say, portals from one location to another that people can walk through without having to take a rocket to get to the planet (as I've seen from a book released in the 2000s that predicted what could happen sometime in the mid to late 21st century and such.
I remember watching the movie and thinking, wait what if they ain't pokemon, like if humans ain't pokemon wouldn't there be other examples of non pokemon life, could probably say the same thing about plant life in the pokemon universe.
Deoxys is actually based on a proposed model of the beginnings of life on earth. The model states that some dna was carried onto the primordial earth trapped inside a meteor. That's why deoxys looks like dna strands.
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.

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.
ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY SPACE NOODLE THAT LIKES TO THROW HANDS
The crystal in a meteor reminds me of the meteor from Lovecraft's The Color Out Of Space...
That Generations episode is so frickin cool. I could watch it all day.
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. Had Rayquaza not started attacking immediately, Destiny Deoxys may have not occured with the scientists freeing the other one. While Deoxys appear mostly passive when left to themselves, if provoked one will quickly find they are combat ready beyond most Pokemon.
I had a little plastic figure of this thing as a kid. I thought it was really cool, but until this day I didn't even know what it was. To be honest, I completely forgot it existed until I saw the thumbnail.
Darkrai gets nightmares of deoxys but deoxys sees a therapist about rayquaza 🤝🏽
Deoxys is always in the GOAT conversation
oh 100%
The representation in the generations episode gives me such creepy Evangelion vibes. It's absolutely perfect
I'm pretty sure there was a scene in that movie where they put a laser test to the meteorite and that was how deoxys emerged from it.
The laser beam thing came into being with rayquaza in Mystery Dungeon, where it’s role is to protect earth’s atmosphere from external stuff, so it’s laser is what interacted with rayquaza’s laser
Interestingly to note is that Deoxys’ shiny colours VAGUELY have similar color hues to rayquaza’s main colours of green and yellow, so that’s always interesting to think about
That note about the meteor in Delta Episode made me realize that there is a lot of similaritied between Deoxys and Chrono Trigger's Lavos. Makes me wonder if the big guy has some biological failsafe for if it fails to make contact with a planet similar to a Deoxys-like mutation.
When I was exploring the ultra wormholes in Ultra Sun I brought a Deoxys with me as I thought he'd be a good astronaut to lead my team
I remember the hype around Deoxys when I was a kid, and how frustrated I was that there was no way to catch it without attending special events. I also remember hearing speculation about the (then) upcoming movie, and the big fight between Rayquaza (my favorite legendary at the time) and this mysterious virus from space. 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...
I saw Destiny Deoxys first and when I saw the anime, I was super confused as to why Deoxys suddenly went bald 😐
It was his defense form, never shown in the movie
Defense was in the movie, speed form was the one that wasn’t in the movie
@@maxschendell7630 ah yea. The pointy one
As a kid this was my fave cause it came from space and was just more mysterious than others and almost impossible to get
it is interesting to think that the "Laser Beam" may have been a Hyper Beam from Rayquaza. and it mutated to adapt to the new threat, becoming a "Pokémon". i love the idea, the concept, of "you create your own worst enemy"
Last i remember (at least in the movie trailer), deoxys was created in a lab orbiting the earth.
it also gives me major neon genesis angel vibes
I remember playing my copy of Pokémon White that had a Deoxys on it, since my cousin gave it to me. Imagine my shock and surprise when I found out it could even change forms. At first, I jumped because I saw the sprite of Speed Form Deoxys in battle. Then I looked into it more and found myself fascinated when I saw it had different forms.
I hate that I missed these distribution events back in the day.(being a kid and all) I will say it did make this Pokémon feel more mysterious. You hear about it from some kid at school and that’s all you knew about it until a movie or you happened to hear about the distribution event. I wish there was a little more fanfare with the newer releases.
Yeah, I just barely got a handful of DS events. Nothing on the GBA. 😔
One of the coolest Pokemon of all time. I can just imagine a Legends Delta or something with a Deoxys fight like Giratina or like Pokemon Generations
Deoxys is a Pokémon that I always forget exists.
Same
Alien type as a pokemon being explored in space as a special type of pokemon with weaknesses and super effectivenesses could be the next pokemon move
I remember looking at Deoxys' official artwork as a kid and it scaring the shit out of me, to the point where I couldn't look at another picture of Deoxys for a month.
the space beam that hit deoxys came from "Az" Blk and White
I love how you used Yugioh's Alien Archetype.
Tgank you😁
So, horrifying enough, mankind can trap anything it wants into a tiny sphere
I mean, Pokémon form bonds through shows of compassion and strength. Legendary Pokémon only join us because they view our strength as surprising. A Master Ball isn’t gonna stop Kyogre from escaping if it wants to flood the world. It’s merely a matter of appealing to the godly being’s sense of fun and introspection. So, yeah, if the protagonist wasn’t essentially their region’s Jesus, most games would end with death.
Deoxys, alongside Jirachi are my absolute favourite mythical pokemon, I started with pokemon Ruby, and just gen 3 as a whole, and those two had so much mystery involving them, like why couldnt I get them, but I had access to every other pokemkn in the dex, between playing and trading, but nobody had these aliens Pokemon. One day, a friend got pokemon colosseum as well as the bonus disc, and I got given the Jirachi, but still never any sign of Deoxys, I have actually thought about finding a "Legitimate" means of getting Deoxys, just to experience first hand the majesty of Deoxys in one of my own games. ❤
My fav part in DD is when Rayquaza decides to vaporize Deoxys point blank. The epitome of "Ef around n find out". 😂
Deoxys is such a cool Pokemon, I would love to get more like it and learn more about outer space in the Pokemon world.
7:22 To be fair you'd be pretty pissed of if someone suddenly blew up your home/bed/room while you were sleeping peacefully in it.
Yknow, I actually see more and more of "the thing" in deoxys. The double helix sprouting from a stone. The stone is deoxys.
Maybe the beam references the beam that was user to wake up the "other Deoxys" from the film.
It's one of those Pokemon I've more recently gained interest in, to the point I successfully shiny hunted a Deoxys.
Are you gonna do an aliens playthrough as would be cool
Gotta figure which game has the most available 🤔
@@GatorEXmaybe just egg it
@@GatorEXWHERES LITTLE SUWSI
@@GatorEX in game of sun and moon, wormholes called warpholes and miles from earth made not alter universes maybe cab travel light years ahead between dimensions of the same universe
@GatorEX or the altered timelines just in the same universe but be like how sonic created altered universes by shatter Paradox prism
The movie where it shows up terrified me as a child. I still can’t watch it to this day 👀
I can't say much about the Ultimate Weapon theory, but I did hear a theory that Deoxys was initially the Pokerus virus.
Prior to Darkrai, this was one of ym fav legendary/mythical pokemon. Mostly cause the movie it had
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.
I like your vids man, good style. Consistent little bits of interesting tidbits about the world, it's perfect.
Thank you! Glad you like them! 👽
The thing with alien creatures outside of earth is that, we don't know what kind of species there currently are outside of the solar system. One of them, interviewed in the 1950s, depicts an alien with the ability to talk through telepathy and huge black eyes with no pupils, who despises humans and doesn't trust them giving info unless kindly asked and such (knowing how the government treats us human beings as much as it would with their own monster creations and such). On the other hand, the xenomorphs are usually referred to as animal/feral aliens that sees humans are new tasty food to want to kill and eat, same with the insect aliens. So in reality, even if we try to find aliens out there, we also need to know how to do food, water, and electric production, as well as our own version of the world wide web in order for many people to enjoy posting stuff online as well as accessing the site in a way that takes shortcuts too and from say, portals from one location to another that people can walk through without having to take a rocket to get to the planet (as I've seen from a book released in the 2000s that predicted what could happen sometime in the mid to late 21st century and such.
Great video! The design reminds me of the Eva units from evangelion.
My favourite Pokémon
Something about its backstory, theme and powers fascinate me
Deoxys is a pretty cool and creepy Pokémon since it is basically an extraterrestrial virus that was mutated into a humanoid form.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT THING
Anyone else remember the Deoxys Infection form trend on DA? That was kinda cool.
I always assumed the laser beam was Rayquaza attacking Deoxys with Hyper Beam
I had been under the assumption that deoxys got his form because humanity touched it giving it the form we see
The lazar could be the ultimate weapon fired into space by AZ
Theory: AZ's weapon creating Deoxys using life energy is very intriguing since that could open the idea to mutations like this
Criminally underutilized, Deoxys walked so Ultra Beasts could jog
I remember watching the movie and thinking, wait what if they ain't pokemon, like if humans ain't pokemon wouldn't there be other examples of non pokemon life, could probably say the same thing about plant life in the pokemon universe.
Deoxys is actually based on a proposed model of the beginnings of life on earth. The model states that some dna was carried onto the primordial earth trapped inside a meteor. That's why deoxys looks like dna strands.
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.
That research laser hittin' different.
Birth Island was cool.
Especially for it's real life inspiration tbh.
loved his dungeon in PMD1 as well :D
