Talk:Deoxys vs Metal Sonic/@comment-26418719-20151030134942/@comment-26418719-20151031161823

'Minor' copy ability? Excuse me, but SINCE WHEN is Metal's copy 'minor', if it can copy Shadow's Chaos Control FLAWLESSLY, right down to not needing an emerald to do so?! Deoxys may be a moon buster, but he just CANNOT KEEP UP. And eventually, the Copy ability is going to bridge the gap, or, if he's already Metal Overlord, make it so that Deoxys just can't keep up. Sure, Metal may come second in terms of destructive capability, but he's much faster and tougher.

And yes, Metal Overlord DOES ruin Deoxys in terms of stats, considering that Moon Buster doesn't equate well when you're powerful enough to no sell Super Sonic, who's an FTL Planet Buster.

Deoxys is way, WAY too slow to keep up with Metal, unless he's in Speed Forme, which makes his chances of hitting Metal kinda slim. Add onto that the various defensive options Metal has (Black Shield, copying Deoxys' Iron Defense, Agility, Amnesia and Protect), and Metal actually has a good shot at winning this.

Deoxys can't take a hit unless it's in defense form. Both the games AND the movie that Deoxys starred in prove this- where Deoxys' body was OBLITERATED sans the core by Rayquaza's Hyper Beam. I've watched Destiny Deoxys (I.e. the only movie it appeared in).
