Unless they give it the "T6" HP buff similar to Mewtwo it absolutely can be soloed. I've simulated a team from my GP box against all Deoxys-A variants with and without dodging and have been shown a 100% win rate with varying levels of reentry.

From my box:
-Smiley Boy (SC Gengar)
-The Hammer (SB Mewtwo
-Edgelord^TM (SB Mewtwo)
-Vic, Chief Bitey, and X (3x B/C Tyranitar)

Deoxys-A set as T5, ran simulations against each moveset averaged 100 times (600 total). Most troublesome movesets include Zap Cannon, least troublesome include Psycho Boost. Win times ranged from 218 seconds to ~235 seconds. Anywhere from 1-2 re-entry required.

tl;dr: Unless they give it the T6 treatment it'll be a joke of a fight. Even then as few as 2 people could likely reliably take it down.

Wow. And to think I used to fear the attack stat of a Deoxys, GO found the perfect way to utterly make it a joke/

Deoxys was the poster child for glass cannons. Being able to outspeed nearly anything with a monstrous attack stat made sweeping teams easy, so long as you didn't get hit. When you take that speed away by dropping it in a situation where everyone gets equal time to attack... yeah.

I really hope they do something to make Deoxys-A frightening to square up against, but with the battle system in place I have no idea what they could do. Hopefully the web pockets thing leaked on TSR will lead to better server/client sync and allow them to get more creative with combat.

I kinda wish they would give Deoxys gradually regenerating health like how it regenerated fast in the movie, would make it a bit more useful but I hightly doubt they;d ever do that. I really wish they;d give Deoxys something better, such a cool pokemon thats just underwhelming.

Deoxys a strange choice for ex raids, at least once u've done one of each there's little reason to skip work/school to get more. To even think about soloing a Legendary should be ridiculous but that moment may not be too far away....

Even if Deoxys itself is lame after the first one at least it sets the precedent that non Mew-esque mythical can be obtained in multiples. We could see multiple attempts at Darkrai, Arceus, Genesect, etc. down the line.
