How to get Pokemon Go Deino?

Deino is a very rare Pokemon. It will be very hard to catch Deino in Pokemon Go. You will only be able to find Deino in the raid battle. Even though this is the case, the encounter rate for Deino is pretty poor. Many players expressed significant disappointment about the encounter rate of Deino. So make up your mind before going after Deino. If you really want to get this Pokemon, then as we’ve mentioned earlier, you will be able to encounter Deino in the raid battle. You have to form a Deino counter Pokemon team, encounter it in a raid battle, and defeat it and add it to your Pokemon collection. The counter Pokemon to defeat Deino are Gardevoir, Togekiss, Granbull, Sylveon, and Kyurem (Black). You will also be able to get Deino by hatching a 12 KM egg.

The biological details of Deino in Pokemon Go

Deino is a small-sized Pokemon that is actually blue coloured. It comes under the quadrupedal family. Its head is completely covered by black fur. This also covers its neck. It conceals everything out of the view except its mouth and the surrounding area. When you watch this Pokemon closely, you will see that the fur in the neck area has six purple coloured spots encircling its body. Those spots resemble bruises. The hair at the top of the head of Deino looks like a single small horn. This Pokemon has a short tail. When you look at its tail, you will immediately think that it is actually bitten off. It doesn’t have the ability to see. As this is the case, it will bite and eat anything that moves. One thing you should note with Deino is that it has the vigour and energy to bite constantly without stopping. Hence, it is never safe to approach this Pokemon without taking any precautionary measures.
