Biology

Approaching Deino carelessly is dangerous. They cannot see, so they tend to tackle and bite everything to learn about their surroundings. If it likes what it tastes, it will commit the associated scent to memory.

You will be covered in wounds until a Deino warms up to you. Their bodies are covered in wounds and it is not a picky eater. It nests deep inside a cave.

The food there is scarce, so Deino will sink its teeth into anything that moves and will attempt to eat it.

Design & origin

Deino's name is derived from "one" in German (ein).

Because it can’t see, this Pokémon is constantly biting at everything it touches, trying to keep track of its surroundings.
Shield
When it encounters something, its first urge is usually to bite it. If it likes what it tastes, it will commit the associated scent to memory.
Sword
Lacking sight, it’s unaware of its surroundings, so it bumps into things and eats anything that moves.
