Can Deoxys be transferred to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?

No, Deoxys cannot currently be transferred into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (BDSP). As a Mythical Pokémon, Deoxys has special restrictions and is not able to brought into BDSP at this time even through Pokémon Home.

As an avid Pokémon player myself, I‘ve dug deep into the details around what transfers are possible, where Deoxys fits in, and the potential for this restriction to change in a future update. Keep reading for the full scoop!

What is Deoxys‘ Status in the Pokémon World?

First, some background on Deoxys itself. This fascinating Psychic-type Pokémon has a truly one-of-a-kind origin emerging from a virus exposed to radiation then mutated and came to life. Its DNA structure allows it to transform between multiple Formes changing its appearance and strengths/weaknesses:

Deoxys holds a special place as a Mythical Pokémon only available through limited events rather than finding in-game. This elusive status also comes with restrictions around trading and transferring capabilities that many Legendaries don‘t face.

Can Deoxys transfer into Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl?

Given its unique status, the short answer is no – Game Freak has not enabled the ability to transfer Deoxys into BDSP. The Mythical restriction separates it from the bulk of the National Pokédex now reachable through the Gen 4 remakes.

Every Pokémon fan would love to be able to collect these rare event specimens within the main story experience! But for now we must yearn from afar and hope restrictions loosen in future updates.

What is Possible with BDSP Transfers Currently?

While Deoxys itself is locked out, BDSP does allow transferring a wide swath of Pokémon from past Generations through the Pokémon Home connectivity added after launch. Let‘s break down exactly what can and can‘t make the trip:

Can Transfer

• Gen 1 through Gen 4 Pokémon
• Most Legendaries from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh
• Some special Mythicals like Mew and Celebi

Cannot Transfer

• Anything Gen 5 and beyond
• Certain recent Mythicals and Legendaries
  • Deoxys
  • Darkrai
  • Shaymin
  • Arceus

So BDSP has very open transfer policies overall. But a handful of the most exclusive recent acquisitions still cannot make it in quite yet. We‘ll cover if and when this list could shrink later on!

Will We Ever Be Able to Transfer Deoxys to BD and SP?

As a Mythical renowned for exclusivity, enabling Deoxys transfers would be a major shift for Game Freak. However, we can look to past precedent on how restricted Pokémon eventually became transferrable later on:

You can see significant loosening of restrictions when new connectivity apps and updates launched over the years. So could this trend reach BDSP eventually as well? In my opinion, it‘s certainly possible!

Game Freak surprised fans by adding Pokémon Home transfers post-launch showing they plan ongoing BDSP support. And with Pokémon Violet & Scarlet introducing new Mythicals on the horizon, I expect pressure to mount around manipulating past event Pokémon.

Will a future BDSP patch enable Deoxys and friends? As passionate Pokémon enthusiasts we‘ll just need to wait and hope! Game Freak has proven they listen to fan feedback so make sure to keep the conversation going.
