Deoxys

Deoxys (デオキシス, Deokishisu, pronounced /di'ɑks.ɪs/) is one of the species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Deoxys in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon Trainers. It is known as a promotional secret Pokémon because of its extreme rarity and extremely high stats in the games. It belongs to the Psychic type, a generally strong element that plays a role in most Pokémon battles.

Deoxys was introduced in the video games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire for Game Boy Advance and occupies the 386th place in the National Pokédex (last of the third generation) and place #202 in the Hoenn Regional Pokédex. However it was not 'catchable' until the release of the Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen games. It may have a relation to Palkia the Space Pokémon.

Deoxys is also one of the few Pokémon to have its own musical theme, and it is prevalent throughout the seventh Pokémon movie and when it is encountered in the games. The theme mainly consists of three primary notes (the pitches F3, G3 and C3, in that order) delivered by bell strikes, and it carries a very extraterrestrial motif. Deoxys's name is a shortening of Deoxyribonucleic acid.
