This is my guide on how to beat Deoxys. Remeber that Deoxys takes the top charts in time to win perspective and they will come in handy on pvp. Below I will list the best conters for Deoxys and their movesets. Some counters for Mewtwo may not be good against Deoxys. 1. Deoxys Poison Jab, Dark Pulse (As soon as you catch one, use one. They have a very good time to win 😉) 1. Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball 3.Tyranitar: Bite, Crunch 2. Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball 3. Absol: Snarl, Dark Pulse 4. Sharpedo: Bite, Crunch 5. Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play 6. Scizor: Fury Cutter, X-Scissor 7. Pinsir: Bug Bite, X- Scissor 8. Dragonite: Dragon Tail, Outrage 9. Cacturne: Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse 10. Banette: Shado Claw, Shadow Ball 11. Latios: Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw 12. Muk-Alola: Bite, Dark Pulse 13. Shrifty: Feint Attack, Foul Play 14. Kyogre: Waterfall, Hydro Pump 15. Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge 16. Scyther: Fury Cutter, X-Scissor 17. Raquaza: Dragon Tail, Outrage 18. Mew: Shadow Claw, Dark Pulse 19. Alakazam: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball 20. Crawdaunt: Snarl, Night Slash 21. Entei: Fire fang, Overheat 22. Fire Attack, Fire spin Power Chart: 1. Tyranitar 2. Mewtwo 3. Mew 4. Latios 5. Alola Muk 6. Raikou 7. Entei 8. Kyogre If I receive an EX pass, I will use my Houndoom. If I get another? I will use the deoxys I just caught. What will you use?

Wow. Tell him to switch them out for Deoxys when he gets them. ---

I won’t use any Mewtwos until after the 23rd and I pick which one to power up. Probably won’t get Deoyxis until next year when it goes into normal raids. ---

But there are two problems with Mew: It’s very hard to obtain those 2 moves. It’s expensive to power up mew to usable level since it’s just level 15 ---

Deoxys Normal has no fighting fast or charge move, dark type team has no problem against it. ---

Deoxys as attacker on another deoxys only works if you get the attack form. Niantic said we would be fighting the normal form so you probably only get to catch that one. ---

I dont think L20 deoxys is better than any of my L40s so Id rather stay away from including it in my team anytime soon ---
