Does Deoxys still count as an Event Legendary?

Jan. 7, 2015

Since Deoxys can legitimately be found in ORAS at the end of the Delta Episode without an Event, is Deoxys now a Required Pokemon or is still an Event Legendary?

ORASHoenn PokeDex>Have owned all (Generation VI) Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon except Rayquaza, Jirachi, and Deoxys.

ORASNational PokeDex>Have owned all Pokémon except Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, and Diancie.

So to answer your question, no! Deoxys no longer counts as an event Legendary (at least in ORAS), as Deoxys was not required to complete the National PokeDex in X&Y, but is required to complete the National PokeDex in ORAS.

In XY and previous Generationyes, Deoxys is an event Pokemon.

Various sources confirm you don’t need Deoxys for the XY National DexHereandthis

For ORAS you need Deoxys

Since Dexoys is capturable in ORAS, it’s required. So that’s what I’m missing.
