Deoxys Movesets Added
Suddenly each of Deoxys's formes have a varied moveset on this site. Did I miss something about them being added recently?

It might be the case that Niantic is moving the role of the EX raid from getting a top shelf attacker that can fill a few roles, (SB Mewtwo, FB Mewtwo, Psychic Mewtwo) to a dex filler. Could be an attempt to pour some cold water on the people who mastered the art of getting an EX pass and have teams of 6 Mewtwo with each charged move.
That's the only reason I can come up with that makes some sense, as a response to the hue and cry from players who weren't in an environment where they could get a Mewtwo (let alone a SB Mewtwo). Give them Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam, but take away Shadow Ball.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the next special research pokemon after Suicune is Mewtwo - remember that they used Snorlax to divide the birds from the beasts. I suspect they won't dive right into the weather trio in November, but will have a pause. Not guaranteeing it's Mewtwo, but wouldn't be surprised, and think that SB may come back, or another new move.
I think they might do Ho-oh or lugia, theres only 3 legendaries in gen 1 that weren't requiring special conditions, EX raids for mewtwo and special research for mew, body slam snorlax was probably just filler that was good enough to be considered valuable but not so good it was overpowered. Personally I hope the research is SB mewtwo (id hate if its random being SB /OR/ hyperbeam)but im not holding my breath
