The attack form of Deoxys in Pokémon GO is not a good defender. Trainers are now using absurd attackers to mock the boss.
What’s new? Players can now battle the attack form of Deoxys in EX Raids in Pokémon GO. This form features increased attack values, but has very little defense.
In fact, the defense is so poor that trainers are now assembling ridiculous teams to defeat this EX Raid boss. Curtain up for Sniebel, Kramshef, and the shiny gang.
Deoxys is too easy, trainers get creative
The background: Until a few days ago, the EX Raid boss Deoxys was active in its “Normal form” in Pokémon GO. A few days ago, Niantic changed the form.
Now trainers face the “attack form” when invited to an EX Raid. This battle does not pose a significant challenge for trainers. Instead of two, only one trainer is needed to defeat the attack form of Deoxys.
Actually, EX Raids should present players with a greater challenge requiring teamwork. For this, you can even invite friends to EX Raids.
How weak is Deoxys’ attack form? There are only four Pokémon in Pokémon GO that have weaker defense than Deoxys’ attack form. Flurmel, Pummeluff, Karnivanha, and Fluffeluff (via Gamepress). Even a Hornliu has higher defensive values.
How players deal with it: The fact that the attack form is such a poor defender is taken humorously by trainers. They build extra-weak teams and show that you can still win with them. There are even challenges that no Pokémon in a battle team can be the same. Videos of the battles are shared on Reddit by TheSilphroad.
