SF Deoxys can theoretically be duoed by high-level Gengar teams in Fog weather with Best Friend Bonuses.

This guide lists the best counters, Forme stats, and possible moves SF Deoxys can have in Pokémon GO. For more information about Deoxys’ role in the Pokémon GO metagame, read our Deoxys Formes and their place in the Pokémon GO meta article.

Speed Forme Deoxys Movesets
As of now, these are the moves that Speed Forme Deoxys has access to in the Game Master:
- Charge Beam Electric, fast
- Zen Headbutt Psychic, fast
- Psycho Boost Psychic, charged
- Thunderbolt Electric, charged
- Swift Normal, charged
Its moves are rather lackluster and will not do serious immediate damage to your Pokémon. Mainly, be on the lookout for Psycho Boost, as that will destroy any Gengar you have on the scene. This is a battle against time, not against Deoxys itself, because the bulk of this Forme is what makes it difficult.

Final Notes
Speed Forme is the most balanced of the Deoxys Formes. As previously stated, don’t expect something as hard as the Defense Forme, nor the easy solo that came with Attack Forme.
