Klefki has arguably one of the best defensive typings in steel/fairy, and prankster.... Deoxys-D I feel suffers the same plight as shuckle, monstrous defences with a meager Health Pool... imo Deoxys-D would have been a much better contender if they reduced his offensive stats from 70-->35 and increased his base HP from 50-->110 because no-one was using him for offence anyways....I wonder what a mega form of deoxys would look like? 😅
It would be cool if base form had higher HP than the others or something to give it a leg up on the others. I think that the base form wasn't supposed to be as good as the others since it's whole gimmick is that it has other forms
False Swipe: "no new video this week because next week is a lot of work." Me: "oh cool. Maybe like a 20 or 25 minute video. Probably something good from generation 3." False Swipe: "and now for our 55 minute feature presentation" Love it!!
I’m actually surprised about 2 things: 1. You covered all of Deoxys’ forms in one single video. 2. This video was only 54 minutes and 13 seconds long. I actually thought it would be longer.
When you said you wouldn’t be uploading a video last week because you were working on a longer one, I didn’t expect it to be a mythical. It’s quite impressive to see Deoxys’s video almost an hour long since it’s never been allowed in VGC
Vanilla Deoxys is pretty interesting to me. It might be the best bad Pokémon of all time. It is undeniably incredible in battle. But it has a form that’s just the exact same thing but better. I can’t tell if that was cruel or brilliant.
Isn't that the point of different forms from an original? Meant to be better? So it makes sense, and isn't cruel if you think that all the forms are the same pokemon so deoxys isn't really suffering.
Rest in peace anyone that played the beginnings of gen 5 OU. All deoxys forms were unleashed, darkrai was unleashed with no sleep clause, and unrestricted drizzle + swift swim was still allowed. What a crazy time
They should have made Deoxys-Normal have base stats of 110 in everything except HP (which would stay 50) so that it would have balanced stats instead of just being a worse Deoxys-Attack
When there is an entire meta-game designed around using one variation of your OP Pokemon to hard counter the version that you think your opponent is packing, you know you've truly created a monster.
Deoxys has a special place in my heart. It's the reason I remember that DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. Worthless information for someone like me, but I still think that's pretty cool. It's also still up there as one of my favorite pokemon. Being the rival of my absolute favorite, rayquaza, made it one of the coolest when I was growing up.
This Pokemon has my favorite battle theme of them all. It's got just the right blend of awesome and surreal to be a soundtrack I always come back to, both in Firered/Leafgreen/Emerald and in ORAS.
Clearly being an overpowered nuclear bomb equivalent to Dr. Gero making 17/18/Cell when only seeing the power of the Saiyans in the Saiyan arc is his idea of fun.
I really like all of the animations for Deoxys in Gen 4. Especially Speed and Attack. Attack's idle animation is just flailing its limbs around like "I'm gonna be doing this now. If you get hit, it's your fault." Speed's attack animation has it whip twice and then do "spooky wiggly arms".
Also, a note on not retesting any deoxys form. Doexys-Defense is currently UU in natdex, albeit it an unoffical format, seeing as how it competes with mew as a bulky spikes stacking psychic type, and with the introduction of heavy duty boots to relieve the pressure to keep hazards off the field, it's less oppressive than ever.
@@geometrydashtzolkin1025 I doubt it. It's a godlike hazard setter + that ridiculous speed stat enables it to run viable np sets.

Excited to see FSG cover my favorite legendary Pokémon! Deoxys was always neat in my eyes but it’s recently really grown on me because of it being based on biology and biochemistry. Can’t wait to see this genetic juggernaut performed in the competitive scene!
I think Deo-A Gets the ice type (best offensive type) Deo-N gets Normal (of course) Deo-D gets steel (Best defensive type and Deo-S gets electric (Fastest type from an average standpoint)
The idea of not being able to tell what Deoxys form you're facing in a GBA battle is terrifying to me, especially with no Team Preview. It's seems like how people expected Zoroark Illusion to be when people were first speculating about that.
12:40 this might be the saddest thing to ever happen to a Pokemon. Imagine never seeing play but unable to drop down to a lower tier for being too strong. And to add salt to injury, it was due to yourself in a different form. Being normal sucks
I SERIOUSLY can't wait until he remakes the Venusaur video!! Can't wait to see how long that one lasts. Especially when he starts on weather wars in Gen 5, mega evolutions in 6-7, and the tyranny that is gen 8 Gmax forms. And VGC
@@lyingcorn true it's a almost a one trick pony honestly. The only thing added to it is interaction with new mons. but then again fsg keep surprising me on how long they make the video.
Somewhere in an alternate timeline in the "Pokemon with multiple forms club": Groudon: "I gained a 2nd form and plot armor just so I could try and kill a whale harder." Kyogre: "I gained a 2nd form and plot armor just so I could try and kill a dinosaur harder." Rayquaza: "I gained a 2nd form and plot armor just to babysit gods even harder." Necrozma: "I have 4 forms and I came to earth from another dimension to eat the sun in an attempt to subside my never ending pain." Deoxys: "I have 4 forms and came to earth in a *space* *Dorito* ."
finally this episode comes out, this is a staple on all of my uber teams, the physical set is so powerful, Superpower, Knock off, Extreme speed and Psycho boost. insanely powerful set
You mean physically based mixed set, you have psycho boost. Tho it doesn't need much investment to hit super hard (specially in terrain), I think deoxys attack has like 390 something base attack/spatk even uninvested right? Lol
@@vdd1001 something like that yeah, insanely cracked Pokémon dud, I’ve dropped half a team with just deoxys A. He doesn’t need special investment for psycho boost though, literally a 210 power move coming from 390 sp atk. He just shreds
Just another testament to Gen 4 having been the pinnacle of niche and balance and complete Pokemon battling experience. Really truly ANY Pokemon could be used and useful in some way in its own way and it could flip flop anywhere between NU and Ubers.
@@gamesnig Not likely, actually. The Pokemon that are in the Ubers tier are extremely powerful, and having base 50 in any stat is already considered to be bad at best in any other tier. To put it into perspective: Deoxys Defense has a base 50 HP, and isn't even considered to be a good defensive Pokemon anymore, so what good do you REALLY think that the extra base 30 in it's defensive stats makes that big of a difference?
I'll break my episode streak of asking for that one thing to say you caught me off guard! I was expecting Ferrothorn/TTar/Kyurem but this is a pleasent surprise! Don't burn yourself out FSG, you did a great job
Yeah.... when it takes a Interdimensional God like Necrozma to dethrone a super alien it makes sense how powerful Deoxys has been, great video as always FSG
The ending of the delta episode is arguably one of the highest peaks in the history of fan service. Takes a lot of courage to make the "true ending" of a game something that appeals only to non-causal fans!
@@BeeEmpress there is probably a fair bit of personal bias involved, thinking about it, I always considered event pokemon to be something known only by more involved audiences but that might be because in my home country most of those were never distributed in the first place!
You could have easily made one video for each form, but I love this super long video! It's the perfect companion for a meal since I can watch with while I cook, while I eat and it's still going when I'm washing the dishes!! :)
@@Skullhawk13 Yeah movepool would be something. But having defensive moves make it switch to say, defensive form. Just recover and get a ton of defense and tank a hit whilst also recovering half your health. Though I'm not quite sure how they'd have to divide the movepool. Maybe start as Normal form, change to speed for some support moves, defense for others, attack for any attacking move?
Imagine if Deoxys got a mega evolution for each of its forms! I think it'd be safe to say we'd then have at least one other Pokemon to thank for creating the "Anything Goes" tier along side Mega Rayquaza. One thing I was thinking was unfortunate for Deoxys Defense was how it didn't get any boost to its HP, if it didn't have recover then I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with Shuckle's problem of having incredible defense stats but without any HP to back them up. I'm pretty sure Mega Evolutions could have higher HP than their normal form, so if there was a Mega Deoxys Defense it might have taken Lugia's title of "The great wall".
Deoxys constantly adapting is much like a virus mutating to become harder to get rid of, which I think is a really cool coincidence considering Deoxys' orign
Thanks for putting the time and effort / research into compiling this much info on this poke! I fondly remember it from the Rayquaza movie so it's awesome to hear about its competitive past since I don't play comp.
Deoxys is my favorite pokemon of all-time - so this video was bittersweet. Seeing it dominate every generation up to 7 was fulfilling, but seeing its fall in gen 7 and knowing it hasn't gotten a chance to redeem itself yet.... I really hope he comes back and gets some kind of buff. Also I think it's funny that Deo-D and Deo-S, despite having such different stat builds ended up having similar roles - because at the end of the day they were both just trying to get extra turns to stack hazards be it through speed or bulk.
@@M3rtyville To be fair, We are almost done with gen 2. All we have left is Stantler, Noctowl, Lanturn, Girafarig, Ursuring, Macargo, Corsola, Octillery, Mantine, and Sunflora. And depressingly, they all are likely to be low-tier lifers. Also Unown technically, but I don't think that one's gonna happen.
This video was so informative, I always wondered why deoxys speed was always useful since you could just use one regular move + priority for denying double hazards
slight error at 17:40 - Mewtwo's special attack isn't 147, it's 154. 147 would put it behind many other cover mons, while it's supposed to be the most powerful through many generations.

Excited to see FSG cover my favorite legendary Pokémon! Deoxys was always neat in my eyes but it’s recently really grown on me because of it being based on biology and biochemistry. Can’t wait to see this genetic juggernaut performed in the competitive scene!
Giving each form a different hidden ability to differentiate themselves further would be cool
Deoxys-A with Huge Power.
Deoxys-S with Speed Boost
These replies are scaring me…
How about the idea of each Deo form getting getting their own separate typing? Like deoxys-d becoming a steel type or deoxys-s becoming electric, etc.
I think Deo-A Gets the ice type (best offensive type) Deo-N gets Normal (of course) Deo-D gets steel (Best defensive type and Deo-S gets electric (Fastest type from an average standpoint)
Deoxys Speed: NOOOO! I AM MEANT TO BE THE FASTED POKEMON
Regieleki: Haha light bulb go ZOOM
Giving Deoxys-A Close Combat, Expanding Force and V-Create is some of the most cursed stuff I have ever heard about
The idea of not being able to tell what Deoxys form you're facing in a GBA battle is terrifying to me, especially with no Team Preview. It's seems like how people expected Zoroark Illusion to be when people were first speculating about that.
"Its so good it outclasses itself" Deoxys is pokemon's Chuck Norris
I was feeling kinda bummed in a rainy, lonely Sunday.
You have just saved my day with one of my most awaited reviews.
Thanks man
12:40 this might be the saddest thing to ever happen to a Pokemon. Imagine never seeing play but unable to drop down to a lower tier for being too strong. And to add salt to injury, it was due to yourself in a different form. Being normal sucks
I SERIOUSLY can't wait until he remakes the Venusaur video!! Can't wait to see how long that one lasts. Especially when he starts on weather wars in Gen 5, mega evolutions in 6-7, and the tyranny that is gen 8 Gmax forms. And VGC
Who’s ready for the 3 hour movie: How GREAT was ferrothorn actually?
The ferrothorn video will be like, 40 minutes at most. It's never dropped below OU, it hasn't got any new forms and was introduced in gen 5
@@lyingcorn true it's a almost a one trick pony honestly. The only thing added to it is interaction with new mons. but then again fsg keep surprising me on how long they make the video.
@@lyingcorn Ferrothorn works in VGC in Uber and non-Uber years alike, and is slightly different in singles vs doubles.
How FEROCIOUS was ferrothorn actually?
@@lyingcorn Lando, on the other hand...
That way that Deoxys Defense Rose to Ubers from UU in Gen 5 was such an inspiring story.
Idk why but it made me happy to hear it go up like that.
Somewhere in an alternate timeline in the "Pokemon with multiple forms club":
Groudon: "I gained a 2nd form and plot armor just so I could try and kill a whale harder."
Kyogre: "I gained a 2nd form and plot armor just so I could try and kill a dinosaur harder."
Rayquaza: "I gained a 2nd form and plot armor just to babysit gods even harder."
Necrozma: "I have 4 forms and I came to earth from another dimension to eat the sun in an attempt to subside my never ending pain."
Deoxys: "I have 4 forms and came to earth in a *space* *Dorito* ."
"How many times can you say Deoxys Speed in one segment?"
FSG: YES!
It’s nice to see that Deoxys TRIANGULATED it’s way to success
My favorite Deoxys moment is where he gets hyper beamed point blank by Rayquaza
I love that one.
finally this episode comes out, this is a staple on all of my uber teams, the physical set is so powerful, Superpower, Knock off, Extreme speed and Psycho boost. insanely powerful set
You mean physically based mixed set, you have psycho boost. Tho it doesn't need much investment to hit super hard (specially in terrain), I think deoxys attack has like 390 something base attack/spatk even uninvested right? Lol
@@vdd1001 something like that yeah, insanely cracked Pokémon dud, I’ve dropped half a team with just deoxys A. He doesn’t need special investment for psycho boost though, literally a 210 power move coming from 390 sp atk. He just shreds
45:17
I mean teeeeeechnically Deo-D is allowed in Gen8 NatDex OU, but Deoxys isn’t even in gen 8, so… idk just wanted to throw that out there lol
Just another testament to Gen 4 having been the pinnacle of niche and balance and complete Pokemon battling experience. Really truly ANY Pokemon could be used and useful in some way in its own way and it could flip flop anywhere between NU and Ubers.
Deoxys Base: Who are you?
Deoxys Attack: *I’m you but better*
Priority though...
@@gamesnig 50/50/50 Bulk is still rice paper that dies to priority in ubers. Bulk only matters if it helps you survive
@@Skullhawk13 yeah but it could have a chance against taking something atleast
@@gamesnig Not likely, actually. The Pokemon that are in the Ubers tier are extremely powerful, and having base 50 in any stat is already considered to be bad at best in any other tier. To put it into perspective: Deoxys Defense has a base 50 HP, and isn't even considered to be a good defensive Pokemon anymore, so what good do you REALLY think that the extra base 30 in it's defensive stats makes that big of a difference?
That's kinda the point since Attack Is a boosted form
When your main competition is you but more aggresive.
You: „You are weak!“
Also you: „I am you!“
You still: **visible confusion**
Yes! Now we just need the 12 hour Arceus special!
Here from the future: Arceus was 33 minutes.
I'll break my episode streak of asking for that one thing to say you caught me off guard!
I was expecting Ferrothorn/TTar/Kyurem but this is a pleasent surprise!
Don't burn yourself out FSG, you did a great job
Yeah.... when it takes a Interdimensional God like Necrozma to dethrone a super alien it makes sense how powerful Deoxys has been, great video as always FSG
Can't wait for 4 generations of "UNFORTUNATELY Deoxys normal form was outclassed completely"
At the very least, there was the interruption of Deoxys-Normal being good against Deoxys-Speed and other leads
@@iantaakalla8180 and then by gen 7 all forms got the unfortunately
"It went from Johnny Cash in his prime to Johnny Cash singing 'Hurt'."
Ow. I felt that more than I wanted to.
The ending of the delta episode is arguably one of the highest peaks in the history of fan service. Takes a lot of courage to make the "true ending" of a game something that appeals only to non-causal fans!
What are you on about. I saw a bunch of casual fans get really excited by deoxys showing up. I really don’t get how it only appeals to non casual fans
@@BeeEmpress there is probably a fair bit of personal bias involved, thinking about it, I always considered event pokemon to be something known only by more involved audiences but that might be because in my home country most of those were never distributed in the first place!
You could have easily made one video for each form, but I love this super long video!
It's the perfect companion for a meal since I can watch with while I cook, while I eat and it's still going when I'm washing the dishes!! :)
I really hope Deoxys gets an active form-change ability at some point. Switching mid-battle would make it an amazing pokemon.
The problem with that is movepool. Attack, Defense, and speed want radically different moves.
I don’t think the world is ready for Aegislash 2
@@Skullhawk13 Yeah movepool would be something. But having defensive moves make it switch to say, defensive form. Just recover and get a ton of defense and tank a hit whilst also recovering half your health. Though I'm not quite sure how they'd have to divide the movepool. Maybe start as Normal form, change to speed for some support moves, defense for others, attack for any attacking move?
@@Skullhawk13 attack and speed have fairly similar move pools
@@cameronballz6154 you must be joking. Speed is a support member, Attack is a wall breaker.
Deoxys normal success in gen 4 is one of the coolest things I've seen in mons ngl
32:56 Actual usage of Foresight in the competitive scene, never thought I would see the day
Scarppy
@@PyroPlays0 Hitmontop does not get Scrappy as an ability
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LONG I’VE WANTED THIS THANK YOU KELLEN
This is one of your best in a while! Such an amazing video! Thanks for the years of great content FSG :)
FINALLY!
Been wating for this, for ever! Actually expected you to give us multiple videos, one for each form... but one hour long one works too X-D
Imagine if Deoxys got a mega evolution for each of its forms! I think it'd be safe to say we'd then have at least one other Pokemon to thank for creating the "Anything Goes" tier along side Mega Rayquaza. One thing I was thinking was unfortunate for Deoxys Defense was how it didn't get any boost to its HP, if it didn't have recover then I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with Shuckle's problem of having incredible defense stats but without any HP to back them up. I'm pretty sure Mega Evolutions could have higher HP than their normal form, so if there was a Mega Deoxys Defense it might have taken Lugia's title of "The great wall".
Deoxys was always my favorite mythical, I was so happy when they made it catchable in a main game.
Deoxys constantly adapting is much like a virus mutating to become harder to get rid of, which I think is a really cool coincidence considering Deoxys' orign
Man! Congrats on such a long and thorough video about a multi-form Pokemon! It was awesome!
They were able to make a video THIS long with deoxys never even appearing in VGC, that's impressive
Lol
Deoxys attack is one of my favorite Pokémon. Just so brutal. The other forms are still pretty legit as well
Thanks for putting the time and effort / research into compiling this much info on this poke! I fondly remember it from the Rayquaza movie so it's awesome to hear about its competitive past since I don't play comp.
dude! what an episode!
thanks to the fsg team for this high quality content!
Deoxys is my favorite pokemon of all-time - so this video was bittersweet. Seeing it dominate every generation up to 7 was fulfilling, but seeing its fall in gen 7 and knowing it hasn't gotten a chance to redeem itself yet.... I really hope he comes back and gets some kind of buff. Also I think it's funny that Deo-D and Deo-S, despite having such different stat builds ended up having similar roles - because at the end of the day they were both just trying to get extra turns to stack hazards be it through speed or bulk.
When you take a week off to make a video worth the wait you don't mess around. This is fantastic quality
And with this, FSG reviewed all the Hoenn legendary pokemon
Edit: Scratch that, Latios is the last legendary in Hoenn
at this point Gen 3 will be done before Gen 2
There’s still Latios.
@@M3rtyville To be fair, We are almost done with gen 2. All we have left is Stantler, Noctowl, Lanturn, Girafarig, Ursuring, Macargo, Corsola, Octillery, Mantine, and Sunflora. And depressingly, they all are likely to be low-tier lifers.
Also Unown technically, but I don't think that one's gonna happen.
@@NotSpecialDude Unown for April fools
@@Skullhawk13 Unown but he reviews each form separately
8:08 "Deoxys defense was effective at quickly depleting the peepee " XD
🤣🤣
This video was so informative, I always wondered why deoxys speed was always useful since you could just use one regular move + priority for denying double hazards
And if you didn’t do enough damage to do that? Speed’s defenses are enough
YES!! Deoxys was my favorite legendary as a kid, i was really looking forward to this episode
Shout-out to Steven’s Psycho-Boost spamming Deoxys in Kaizo Emerald
Deoxys is my favorite mythical pokémon. It’s such a cool concept and it’s pretty damn strong.
“Powerful Yet Weak: Outclassed By Myself, a Biography,” by Deoxys-Base
Its funny how deoxys was outclassed by itself
This is gonna be one of those 1-hour long videos that I will 100% watch through, the work FSG puts in is mad
slight error at 17:40 - Mewtwo's special attack isn't 147, it's 154. 147 would put it behind many other cover mons, while it's supposed to be the most powerful through many generations.
