How to best use Normal Forme Deoxys

Normal Forme Deoxys is a Psychic-type Pokémon, and it’s the basic form of this Pokémon. It has four forms: the Normal, Attack, Speed, and Defense Forme. Each provides a unique series of stat changes to make it stand out from the others, with Normal having the most baseline of the four.

Normal Forme Deoxy has a maximum CP of 3,160, an attack of 284, a defense of 102, and stamina of 120. Unfortunately, Normal Forme Deoxys is not a Pokémon you want to use in the Battle League because of its meager defense.

Is Normal Forme Deoxys good?

We highly recommend sticking this Pokémon in PvE battles, typically used to fight against specific options, such as Flying and Water-types, because of its number of Electric-type attacks. The best fast move it can learn is Charge Beam, and the best charged moves it can learn are Psycho Boost and Thunderbolt. While it is a Psychic-type, Normal Forme Deoxy is superb against Flying-types in PvE scenarios but likely not in raids.

The moveset available to Normal Forme Deoxys holds it back, making it a poor choice for players to utilize in any form of PvP. If you’re looking for a better option, we highly recommend you go with the Defense Forme Deoxys, which can be used in the Great or Ultra Leagues in Pokémon Go, or you can always go with the Speed Forme Deoxys, too.
