Card 146White Flare #146 Pokémon Card

Deino, the Irate Pokémon, is a Dragon/Dark type introduced in Generation V. It is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a dark blue body, a shaggy mane of black fur around its neck, and a spiky tail. Its head is covered by a bowl-shaped black helmet, leaving only its mouth visible, which is often depicted with a menacing expression. Deino is perpetually hungry and tends to bite everything it encounters, often without discrimination, making it a dangerous Pokémon to approach carelessly. Despite its aggressive nature, Deino is a popular Pokémon due to its unique design and its powerful evolution line into Zweilous and then Hydreigon, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Deino are typically found in caves or dark, secluded areas, reflecting their Dark typing. In the games, Deino is often encountered at later stages, signaling its strength. In the anime, Deino are often portrayed as mischievous but ultimately loyal, once they form a bond with a trainer. Its cultural significance lies in being one of the few Dark/Dragon types, a powerful combination, and its connection to a beloved pseudo-legendary.
