These raids will happen during the Season of Light from September 1 to 13. This will be a five-star raid, which means you will want to bring a handful of allies into the battle to increase your chances of victory. Defense Forme Deoxys is likely the toughest of the four Deoxys forms because of how much damage it can take. It can also unleash a decent amount of damage itself, but with reasonable time on your side and a few other players helping you out, things should be relatively easy for you to complete, so long as you can find this raid.

Regardless if you catch a shiny version, Deoxys Defense Forme is an extremely good Pokémon to go after. We highly recommend every player interested in competing in the Great League to hunt after it.
