The Horror of Deoxys 

Anything: *enters the ozone layer* Rayquaza: "square up"

Thank Arceus we got the green flying lizard in our ozon layer which attacks all alien threats on sight.

Naw, homie raquaza was protecting us from space aids.

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?

Deoxys helped me remember DNA stood for deoxyribonucleic acid in biology class as a kid.

Rayquaza actively protecting Earth from meteors and aliens is why Rayquaza is one of my favorite Pokemon period, he's like Godzilla

Also shout out to the Manga battle between Mewtwo and Deoxys.

just pointing it out. there is a popular theory that the Weapon Used by AZ during the war 3000 years ago is the same laser that mutated Deoxys

The “laser beam” could also have been a gamma ray burst- something that often occurs when a star dies

out of all the ayy lmaos in pokemon deoxys is probably the coolest

Clefairy: You are so sweet☺️🎶 Deoxys: Hello? Human resources??😱😱

The laser beam could have been AZ`s ancient laser. We see it go way past earths atmosphere in the games when the story is recounted.

I love the premise of Deoxys, being from space and DNA. I just love Heonn Legendary/Mythicals in general

Rayquaza : Godzilla Deoxys : Space Godzilla

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

Can't wait until we get pokemon milky way and solar system. Space gyms. Space pokemon. Space everything

That's why Hitmonchan is always wearing gloves.

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

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.

My first Pokemon crush wasn't Misty or May, or any of the traveling ladies, it was the girl with the glasses & the Metagross from 'Destiny: Deoxys'.

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

“I DONT WANT PEACE I WANT PROBLEMS ALWAYS” - Rayquaza probably

I’ve always liked Deoxys especially its color scheme. It always looked really cool when it would constantly forms in the anime in an instant.

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

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

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.

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.

"Destroy! That is my purpose. That is my will. And that is your destiny!" -deoxys 2024 i think

Man I used to be obsessed with Deoxys infected pokemon fanart, such an awesome concept

What if the "laserbeam" that hit Deoxys came from the Ultimate Weapon from Kalos, in Pokemon XY? That would be a cool lore development imo.

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.

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.

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

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.

I always assumed the laser (at least in ORAS) was meant to refer to the Ultimate Weapon.

I like your vids man, good style. Consistent little bits of interesting tidbits about the world, it's perfect.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY SPACE NOODLE THAT LIKES TO THROW HANDS

That Generations episode is so frickin cool. I could watch it all day.

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

Are you gonna do an aliens playthrough as would be cool

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)

The new animation for it reminds me a lot of Rei/Lilith in End of Evangelion during Third Impact. I am also reminded of Lavos from Chrono Trigger.

(4:49) You have an excellent taste in movies my friend.

loved his dungeon in PMD1 as well :D

The crystal in a meteor reminds me of the meteor from Lovecraft's The Color Out Of Space...

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.

Deoxys is a Pokémon that I always forget exists.

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.

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

That research laser hittin' different.

As a kid this was my fave cause it came from space and was just more mysterious than others and almost impossible to get

Rayquaza: those damn monk- are in my lawn(ozone layer) again, sonny (Kyogre)bring my whip

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.

This was one of those school yard legends where if you talked to one of the space facility workers in Mossdeep City and when they mention they are on the 100th flight, you are then offered to go on the ship (for some reason) and from there take on Deoxys. I to, love the Destiny Deoxys movie and its probably one of, if not, my favorite Pokémon movie. Having that movie in my mind I was waiting for that 100th flight, with my Rayquaza on my squad ready to go. I ended up checking in with the Mossdeep space facility worker too late and missed the 100 mark. I thought I lost my shot forever lol. I miss silly gaming rumors like, but having Deoxys be the center of that was so cool. I love Deoxys and was floored when I saw it reappear in the Delta Episode.

Maybe the beam references the beam that was user to wake up the "other Deoxys" from the film.

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!

the space beam that hit deoxys came from "Az" Blk and White

He might just be a scout…just a scout

My favourite Pokémon Something about its backstory, theme and powers fascinate me

Great video! The design reminds me of the Eva units from evangelion.

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.

Deoxys is always in the GOAT conversation

"The alien pokemon" Poor clefairy...

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 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.

The representation in the generations episode gives me such creepy Evangelion vibes. It's absolutely perfect

Anyone else remember the Deoxys Infection form trend on DA? That was kinda cool.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT THING

Darkrai gets nightmares of deoxys but deoxys sees a therapist about rayquaza 🤝🏽

It's one of those Pokemon I've more recently gained interest in, to the point I successfully shiny hunted a Deoxys.

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

The beam is from x and y. From the great war.

Theory: AZ's weapon creating Deoxys using life energy is very intriguing since that could open the idea to mutations like this

I can't say much about the Ultimate Weapon theory, but I did hear a theory that Deoxys was initially the Pokerus virus.

Remember that Jirachi is, canonically, also an alien. It came to Earth due to a comet or meteor, like Deoxis.

So, horrifying enough, mankind can trap anything it wants into a tiny sphere

Prior to Darkrai, this was one of ym fav legendary/mythical pokemon. Mostly cause the movie it had

it also gives me major neon genesis angel vibes

Deoxys is such a cool Pokemon, I would love to get more like it and learn more about outer space in the Pokemon world.

as a yugioh player it was cool to see these cameos

Psychic pokemon just have that Sauce man

Ah yes, the very first Ultra Beast.

I love how you used Yugioh's Alien Archetype. Tgank you😁

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.

Criminally underutilized, Deoxys walked so Ultra Beasts could jog

I remember as a kid back in 2003-2005 I believed everything about Deoxys, we didn't use internet back then so we were told that you have to go to mosdeep space center to fly to the space or speak to every NPC in the game, get every ribbon in battle factory, catch all pokemon, I still never made it to space.

What music did you use in this video besides the Deoxys battle theme?

Hm, it's possible that the Deoxys asteroid was the result of an ancient collision that caused bits of earth to actually be launched into space, carrying Pokemon DNA along with it, which was eventually irradiated and mutated into Deoxys (much like how bacteria on the ISS has mutated and evolved), and eventually that Deoxys asteroid circled around back into a collision course with it. Kinda like how SpaceGodzilla was born from mutated Godzilla cells that were irradiated in the depths of space

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.

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 always assumed the laser beam was Rayquaza attacking Deoxys with Hyper Beam

The nostalgia

"The crystalline organ on its chest appears to be its brain" Okay, I'm highly suspicious this is where Rebecca Sugar got the idea for Steven Universe from.

My fav part in DD is when Rayquaza decides to vaporize Deoxys point blank. The epitome of "Ef around n find out". 😂

3:22 ¿El rayo laser que llego al espacio ocurrió hace 3000 años de manos de un tal AZ?

i think the laser beam came from a quasar since those things can do a lot of damage

And it ran hands with Rayquaza. Think he was only one able to beat it. Hmm means Rayquaza is Pokemon space x

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.

Deoxys is the king of Deodorant
