Deino: Guide to Capture and Evolution in Pokémon S&V
This guide details how to obtain and utilize the powerful Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon Hydreigon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Hydreigon, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, boasts impressive stats and is a valuable asset to any team. However, its evolutionary line (Deino and Zweilous) is exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet.
Acquiring Deino:
Deino and its evolution, Zweilous, are found in various locations within Pokémon Scarlet:
- Alfornada Cavern: Located southwest Paldea; requires Koraidon's high jump ability.
- Dalizapa Passage: Situated between Medali and Zapapico.
- Glaseado Mountain: A readily accessible mountain area.
- Area Zero: A late-game area.
- North Province (Area Two): Another accessible area.
Deino and Zweilous also appear in 3-star and 4-star Tera Raids, respectively, offering a chance for a Pokémon with a Hidden Ability. Hydreigon can be found in 5 and 6-star Tera Raids.
Obtaining Deino in Pokémon Violet:
Since Deino is Scarlet-exclusive, obtaining it in Violet requires trading or transferring via Pokémon HOME. The Nintendo Switch Online membership is needed for Union Circle trading; otherwise, Pokémon HOME allows transfers from Pokémon Sword/Shield, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon Scarlet.
- Move Deino to your Basic Box in Pokémon HOME.
- Open Pokémon Violet in HOME and transfer Deino to a PC Box.
Evolution:
Deino evolves into Zweilous at level 50, and Zweilous evolves into Hydreigon at level 64. Utilize auto-battling or Exp. Candies (especially L and XL) to expedite the process.
Hydreigon's Strengths and Weaknesses:
Hydreigon's base stat total is 600, with high Special Attack and Attack, and good Speed. A Timid or Jolly Nature is recommended.
- Strengths: High offensive stats, versatile movepool.
- Weaknesses: 4x weakness to Fairy-type moves, also weak to Fighting, Bug, Dragon, and Ice.
- Resistances: Grass, Water, Fire, Electric, Ghost, Dark.
- Immunities: Ground, Psychic.
Terastallizing mitigates the 4x Fairy weakness. Consider using Flash Cannon (Steel-type TM) to counter Fairy types. Other recommended moves include Nasty Plot, Dragon Pulse (or Draco Meteor), and Dark Pulse.
| Stat | Base Stat |
|---|---|
| HP | 92 |
| Attack | 105 |
| Sp. Attack | 125 |
| Defense | 90 |
| Sp. Def | 90 |
| Speed | 98 |
| Total | 600 |
Hydreigon's impressive stats and movepool make it a formidable Pokémon, despite its vulnerabilities. Strategic move selection and Terastallizing are key to maximizing its potential.
