E4's Favorite Deoxys (Results)

[inertgeometry]

How this works:

• cards are listed in chronological order based on first release
• • for this poll in particular, I will break the chronological order sometimes to keep cards together if they have a similar aesthetic
• each card will have a picture followed by the option to vote for it.
• • there are a couple options with different versions of the same artwork which will have additional notes below the picture.
• vote for any card that you like.
• on Sunday at 12PM Pacific Time, the polls will automatically close. I will edit this post and title to count down from least to most voted, and we will see which cards are E4’s Favorite.

Note: Most of these images are pulled from quick google searches, eBay, or Bulbapedia if they had a large enough file. If you'd like me to replace an image, you're welcome to post it in the comments.

Polls

Forme Poll

• Before we get to cards, I’d like to see which forme (Creatures likes to add the [e] at the end of Form, so I'll honor the official name) is most popular. We can contrast this with the card results to see if there is any correlation.

"E4's Favorite" Polls - Archive

Overview Why I began doing these polls in December 2023 as a way to see how the community here ranks cards of various Pokemon or types of cards. Sometimes we may have an idea of what is #1, but what might round out the top 10? It’s hard to guess, and we always end up surprised in the end. It is also a great avenue to learn about new cards of Pokemon we may not have seen before. As time goes on and the quantity of these becomes overwhelming, I figured it would be beneficial to have them all g…

[inertgeometry]

I will mention it once more for people who are refusing to read the notes:

some cards have multiple options for a specific release

in particular:

• the lenticular card has its own option separate from each individual artwork
• the fusion strike prerelease promo with the 4th stamp has its own option separate from the non-stamped version

also please vote on the forme poll at the top. it’ll also help give us an idea of how many people participated in the poll overall.

[ReganRampage]

I had to pick a different one because you said not because of the lenticular

[inertgeometry]

if you like the art in particular, go for it, but if you just like the lenticular as a whole concept, then just vote for the lenticular option.

for example,

i personally don’t care much for the lenticular one way or another, but i think the defense artwork is kinda cool.

if i liked it enough to give it a +1, i would just vote for it by itself (still undecided atm)

i know it is confusing without inserting a video, so i tried to add notes.

[azulryu]

I should get a few of these. I love how creepy or crazed a few of these artworks are. I have a few unhinged cards in a side collection and there’s definitely a few here that meet the mark.

[inertgeometry]

yeah deoxys is definitely an unsettling mon. I think that fact hinders a lot of the cards, but i could definitely see it being a bonus

[lyleberr]

Not a fan of its defense form, also unsettling how it has hands sometimes and sometimes tentacles.

[ReganRampage]

It was more like what pushed it into the favorite. Option two was based on art alone so we are all good

[inertgeometry]

alright i edited the lenticular option with this cursed image to make it more obvious

[D3F14NC3]

The lenticular card is my personal favourite because of its uniqueness.

[Dyl]

It’s an unsettling feeling to scroll through each card and have those creep Deoxys eyes stare right back.

[c0ll3ct0r]

One of the greatest Pokemon ever and not a single great card!

[conwaytwitty]

My vote is for testicular Deoxys

[inertgeometry]

this thighoxys slander is outrageous

[bk2021]

kawayoo and You Iribi deserve more votes.

[pfm]

I don’t fully understand why but I would eat this deoxys if I had the opportunity

[mossdeep]

[pfm]

Yeah just pretend like you wouldn’t

[inertgeometry]

it’s the holo bleed surely

[inertgeometry]

in light of this poll, i want to share some epic wallpapers from otumami aka @astroid_ill on twitter
