08Competitive Playability
Tier: None
Basic Deoxys with 100 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.
09Card Moves and Abilities
Ability: Form Change
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for any Deoxys and switch it with Deoxys Defense Forme. (Any cards attached to Deoxys Defense Forme, damage counters, Special Conditions, and effects on it are now on the new Pokémon.) If you do, put Deoxys Defense Forme on top of your deck. Shuffle your deck afterward. You can't use more than 1 Form Change Poké-Power each turn.
Psychic Defense
During your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of an attack, and any damage done to Deoxys by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.
Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.
Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
