During September 2022, Trainers have the opportunity to find Speed Forme Deoxys as a 5-Star Raid Boss in the AR Gyms of sci-fi-style pocket monster in Pokémon GO also features a single, long, aerodynamic protrusion at the back of its head. Finally, its legs are slim and form a sharp tip where the feet should be, similar to Camille from League of Legends.

True to its name, Speed Forme Deoxys does sacrifice some Attack power in favor of Speed, but Trainers should not underestimate its high Def stats. Furthermore, understanding its elemental strengths and weaknesses is crucial for beating this Raid Boss in combat. As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Deoxys Speed is resistant to Fighting- and Psychic-type Moves. On the other hand, Trainers can take advantage of this creature's weakness by fighting it with Dark-, Ghost-, and Bug-type Movesets.
