Deoxys Defense Forme, numbered 25 in the 2008 Legends Awakened expansion, stands out in the Pokémon Trading Card Game for its unique defensive capabilities and strategic versatility. Illustrated by Kazuaki Aihara, this rare Psychic-type card is designed for players who appreciate tactical depth and unique creature mechanics. The card features a distinctive reverse holo finish that enhances its visual appeal and makes it a sought-after piece for set completists. From a gameplay perspective, Deoxys Defense Forme offers a compelling mix of utility and protection. As a Basic Pokémon with 100 HP, it serves as a resilient anchor in a deck.

With a modest retreat cost of two Colorless energy, Deoxys Defense Forme can reposition quickly to protect key assets or set up powerful attacks. For collectors, this Legends Awakened reverse holo card represents a significant piece of Pokémon history. Its combination of strategic gameplay, artistic design, and rarity makes it a valuable addition to any Pokémon collection. Whether you are completing the Legends Awakened set or building a specialized Deoxys-themed deck, this card offers both nostalgic value and functional utility.

Ability: Form Change
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for any Deoxys and switch it with Deoxys Defense Forme. (Any cards attached to Deoxys Defense Forme, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Deoxys Defense Forme on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Form Change Poké-Power each turn.
Attack: Psychic Defense (40)
During your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of an attack, and any damage done to Deoxys by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
