Deoxys

This POKéMON shoots lasers from the crystalline organ on its chest. Its arms are twisted into double helixes, a reference to DNA. Deoxys's Pokédex entry and the Pokémon movie Destiny Deoxys indicate that Deoxys is actually a virus that came to earth inside a meteor and was restored into a Pokémon when it was "exposed to a laser beam". The viral nature of Deoxys is reflected in many of its aspects, its name being one example. The incredibly high offensive statistics of Deoxys coupled with its weak defensive and health statistics mirror the fragility of a virus as well as its destructive potential once inside a host.
