Attack Forme Deoxys Movesets
Deoxys Attack Forme learns the following moves:
Fast Moves | Charge Moves |
---|---|
|
|
The only move you should be afraid of is Dark Pulse, as it will be super effective against your Ghost and Psychic type Pokémon.
If we had to give a recommendation: don’t be concerned over which moves this boss has. Only Dark Pulse should give your Pokémon any concern, but even then the battle should be easy for most trainers. Attack with your best team, be it a Tyranitar army, legacy Shadow Ball Mewtwo, or even some Houndoom, it’s not a terribly hard battle.
