From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Deino (Japanese: モノズ Monozu) is a dual-type Dark/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Zweilous starting at level 50, which evolves into Hydreigon starting at level 64.
Biology
Deino is a small blue quadrupedal Pokémon with black fur covering its head and neck, concealing everything but its mouth from view. The fur around its neck also has six purple spots encircling it, which resemble bruises. The hair on the top of its head takes the shape of a single small horn. It also has a short tail that appears to be bitten off. Deino's body is covered in wounds.
As Deino is blind, it figures out its surroundings by ramming and biting. It primarily lives in caves with abundant water sources but little food source, so it will eat anything that moves, and memorizes the scents of its favorite things that it has tasted. It has the vigor and energy to bite constantly, making it dangerous to approach without taking precautions. As seen in the anime, it may rear up on its hind legs when happy.
Evolution
Deino evolves into Zweilous, which evolves into Hydreigon.

A Team Plasma Grunt used a Deino in a flashback in Unforgettable Memories. It fought against Hugh's Purrloin and Trapinch after Hugh refused to listen to them when they convinced him that he was causing pain to his Pokémon.

Hugh's sister was shown with a Deino in Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony.
In the TCG
Main article: Deino (TCG)Trivia
- Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Deino evolves to its final form starting at the highest level, evolving at level 64.
- According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Deino and its evolutionary family were originally intended to have aspects of tanks. These Pokémon were scrapped until late in development, when they were revived and remade to be based on Yamata no Orochi.[1]
- Deino is the only Pokémon whose English name's letters are in alphabetical order.
- Deino and Zweilous are the only Pokémon who have Hustle as their only Ability.
Origin
Deino resembles a juvenile dragon or sauropod. Due to its blindness and the fact that it is only found near water in a cave, Deino may also be based on a cave salamander.
Name origin
Deino may be a combination of dino (short for dinosaur) and ein or eins (German for one). It may also derive from δεινός deinos (Ancient Greek for terrible), which has been used for the names of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals such as Deinosuchus and Deinonychus. Deino is also the name of one of the Graeae, the three sisters in Greek mythology who shared one interchangeable eye, leaving two blind while one could see.
Monozu may be a combination of mono- (prefix meaning one) and 頭 zu (head).
