Meridans act as invisible pathways that spread energy, if we're assuming deoxys is made of energy it would also need to have these pathways or at least something similar to actually create and/or manipulate it's own body
Meridians are a biological function in Chinese medicine. It's the paths where life energy, qi (chi) flows through. They're not a magical leyline, they are a core part of Chinese medicine.
It's not just a "pathway that spread energy", that is an ignorant summary of what they are. Not all meridians are the same between species and some thing lack them entirely. For example, a Dead body has all its meridians severed.
So no, Deoxys doesn't have Meridians. Deoxys can't even be said to be recognisably alive in the biological sense as it doesn't consume energy, so we cannot assume it has human meridians.
Mori can determine weaknesses from a glance so the second the fight starts he's already know where to hit
For human fighters and martial artists, he has no concept or grasping for what Deoxys is. This is like saying "A seasoned Electrician can diagnose broken fuses at a glance, so they can fix a Flight ready Space rocket." or "A mechanic can read a car engine so they can read a shapeshifting alien nanobot swarm"
Likewise, Deoxys could not be categorised in anyway to be like the people Mori-Jin has fought. It has no breath, bones, muscles, blood, organs and can alter it's cellular structure at will. This is NOTHING like a human, so his understanding of human anatomy and ability to find weaknesses within it do not apply.
Also tbf the skill difference coupled with ANPR is gonna make it much for difficult for deoxys to hit mori than it would be for mori to hit him
This is a pivot. This only applies to evasiveness, not to whether or not the pressure point technique would work. Not even to mention Deoxys' non-standard fighting style.
Deoxys has a broad list of abilities that work from a distance, so Deoxys doesn't need to be in the same physical location as Mori while your only presented argument is based entirely on him getting up close.
Again as long as it's possible to assume it has something at least similar to that then yes it should work.
No. This is entirely backwards logic. You would have to prove that Deoxys would have these Pressure points for a pressure point attack to work. This is l like arguing "My character has a Mana burn attack that destroys anyone with Mana. So prove your character doesn't have mana right now."
Also mori just needs to hit deoxys like once to do this and he scales to characters who have variants of this that can make
characters who also aren't human straight up explode moments after contact
1. Rocks don't have Meridians.
2. Those characters very clearly had Meridians to use a Death-touch attack against them and were very obviously just Human-variants, which Deoxys is not.
You might have an argument for any other pokemon, but Deoxys very clearly does not fall into the human-variant category like Mewtwo or Alakazham.
Doesn't change anything since mori would tell at a glance
Wrong as outlined above.
Also deoxys if I recall currently has a cellular structure which is important since
muscle tissue is formed from muscle cells being bundled together so if deoxys has cells even if we were to assume it has its own structure made up of whatever substance or material as long as those cells are being grouped together we would assume that structurally speaking it resembles a muscle and in that case it would have its own pressure points, wherever they may be
What even is this argument?
Not all cells are muscles. Likewise, they aren't automatically meridians, nerves, pressure points or even human-like tissue structures. Slimes have cells.
The text flat out says it can manipulate it's cellular structure at will, meaning it has no stable anatomy, no consistent weak points and no fixed tissue organisation, which you would need to find pressure points.
Now I'm not a pokemon expert but telekinesis abilities are usually highlighted with effects?
1. That's a visual in the anime.
2. No. It does not always show it.
It does when we're talking about LITERAL BODY STRUCTURE which is literally suppose to describe the form of the body
Body shape and body structure are objectively, categorically different.
I gave you an example which you just chose to ignore;
A humanoid-shaped slime does not have organs, bones, muscles, tendons, nerves or meridians.
Human shape =/= Human.
That's true however moves like force palm which iirc involves using similar logic to induce paralysis can still work on psychic types so unless I'm wrong on this then pressure points is still an option
Force Palm literally creates electricity, it's Japanese name is "Force Discharge". It also never states it uses pressure points;
"The foe is attacked with a shock wave. It may also leave the target paralyzed."
He sees deoxys new cellular structure and adapts via skill and potentially changes his fighting style of need be
Mori can adapt in fighting style, but he's never adapted to an opponent who changes their entire anatomy mid-fight whenever they want. Likewise with no stable internal structure.
These are abilities he doesn't possess.
That's possible at least but as far as deoxys having pressure points to explode goes that stuff still stands so unless he leads with this then mori still has a chance to at least see the core and deduce it's weaknessess that way (assuming he doesn't just figure it out at a glance)
A point blank blast from Rayquaza didn't destroy or damage the core, so it's clearly not a weak spot or point for Deoxys. In fact, considering it's the only thing that survived the attack unharmed, it's their strongest point.
Likewise, the core is it's power source, not it's vulnerability.
Also mori has AD and can also use Jeahbongchim Acupuncture to temporarily make him self like 19x stronger in AP if need be
Where are you getting the 19x stronger from?
