Stats & Training
Deino's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Speed trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 1 Attack EV, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
They cannot see, so they tackle and bite to learn about their surroundings. Their bodies are covered in wounds.
Lacking sight, it’s unaware of its surroundings, so it bumps into things and eats anything that moves.
Deino Weakness
Fairy, Ice, Fighting, Bug, and Dragon moves hit Deino for super-effective damage. Fairy hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Psychic-type moves can't touch it at all. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that.
