Timed Research will focus on curveball throws, and completing them will give players a chance to encounter Elygem.
Deoxys is unique in that he has four different Forms: Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed. Whichever Forma you have, your stats will lean heavily towards the Forma’s name. For example, Attack Deoxys has high attack and Defense Deoxys has high defense. Normal Deoxys has a balance between attack and defense stats. As for what attacks to use in Raid encounters, Deoxys is vulnerable to Dark, Bug, and Ghost-type attacks.
In news related to Pokémon Go, a special investigation of Inkay will be held on September 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time. The chances of encountering Shiny Inkay during the event will increase and if players are lucky they will have a chance of encountering Galarian Zigzagoon.
