Released by the Pokémon brand, this Psychic-type Basic Pokémon carries 70 HP and is distinguished by its Rare rarity status within the set. Designed by Hironobu Yoshida, the card showcases the unique lore of the extraterrestrial Pokémon known for its adaptable DNA. Strategically, this card introduces the Form Change ability, allowing players to search their deck for another Deoxys and switch it into play.

Complementing this ability is the PsychicColorless Barrier Attack, which reduces damage taken by 30 during the opponent's next turn, providing crucial survivability in matches. The card’s manageable retreat cost of 1 further enhances its versatility, making it a functional asset for decks focusing on speed and adaptation. Whether you are building a collection centered on legendary or mythic Pokémon or simply appreciate the design of the 2005 era, this card represents a significant chapter in Pokémon history.

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: Barrier Attack (20)
During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Deoxys by attacks is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
