Description
Designed by artist Hironobu Yoshida, this Psychic-type Basic card holds 70 HP and serves as a distinct entry in the DX series. Deoxys in this iteration possesses the Form Change ability. This allows a trainer to search their deck for another Deoxys and switch it with the active Deoxys during their turn before attacking. Any attached cards or damage counters transfer with the switch. This mechanic offers strategic depth for those building decks around the Deoxys archetype. The card also features the Link Blast attack. Deoxys deals 40 damage to the Defending Pokémon. However, if Deoxys and the target have a different amount of Energy attached, the base damage reduces to 20. This conditionality makes the attack's output variable based on board state. The retreat cost for this card is one Colorless Energy, allowing for flexible positioning. This product page highlights the catalog details of the 2005 Deoxys set card 16. Whether you are completing a set, analyzing gameplay utility, or studying the artist's work, this card remains a notable piece of Pokémon TCG history from the mid-2000s era.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Ability: Form Change
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for another Deoxys and switch it with Deoxys. (Any cards attached to Deoxys, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Deoxys on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Form Change Poké-Power each turn.
Attack: Link Blast (40)
If Deoxys and the Defending Pokémon have a different amount of Energy attached to them, this attack's base damage is 20 instead of 40.
