It's a shooting star! It's a meteorite! This is a Deoxys Raid EX in Pokemon GO!

Gather your Bug, Dark and Ghost Pokémons (or at least Pokemon with these types of moves), stock up on potions and relive and watch the sky! The extraterrestrial Pokemon Deoxys invades Pokemon GO very soon.

Earlier today, the official Pokemon GO website revealed that Deoxys would be part of the next cycle of the EX Raid. This psychic-type Pokémon sinks into the hearts and minds of players through its literal alien design, its everlasting rivalry with Rayquaza and its theme song (which could be the biggest battle theme song in the series) . Oh, and we can not forget the many forms of Deoxy that completely change his statistics and his movements.

Although Deoxys is known for his ability to switch between a jack-of-all-trades, a tank, a glass cannon and a scarlet speedster (sunny speedster if you catch a shiny Deoxys), Niantic starts slowly with just Deoxys & # 39; Normal Form. This leaves the defense, the attack and the speed in a strange void. Trainers will probably be able to catch these forms soon, but Niantic does not say when. For all we know, they will feature in the next cycles of Raid EX.

As with all other EX raid battles, players can not use standard raid passes to fight Deoxys. No, they need special EX Raid Passes that are only dealt out after qualifying raid battles. While players can now see if a gym can host qualifying battles with an update, EX Raid Passes are always limited to specific dates, times, and locations. As a result, players who have a medical appointment at the same time as a Raid EX will have essentially won a digital clipboard.

Now, you may be wondering how the new Pokemon GO friendship system will play in Deoxy battles, and I have good news. Not only will the coaching Pokémon hit harder if they attack with friends, but coaches can now invite their friends to participate in EX raids with only two conditions. Players can only receive the invitation if they are Ultra or Best Friends (that is, their friendship counter has three or more hearts), and the coaches do not can invite only one friend per raid. Keep sending gifts to your friends and you'll be the best friends in no time.

As long as Deoxys does not invade the Pokemon GO Raid EX, coaches must continue to build their best psychic counters and make as many friends as possible. Players will need as much help to have a chance to fill this inter-planetary powerhouse in a Pokeball.
