Deino Evolution: Guide to Capturing and Evolving in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Feb 22,2025 Author: Emma

This guide details how to obtain and utilize Hydreigon, a powerful Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Hydreigon's pre-evolutions, Deino and Zweilous, are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet, requiring trading or Pokémon HOME transfer to obtain them in Violet.

Acquiring Deino and Zweilous:

Pokémon Scarlet: Find Deino in Alfornada Cavern, Dalizapa Passage, Glaseado Mountain, Area Zero, and North Province (Area Two). Higher-level Deino (35-40) reside in Alfornada Cavern and Dalizapa Passage. Zweilous can also be found in these locations, as well as in 4-star Tera Raids. 3-star Tera Raids offer Deino with potential Hidden Abilities and varied Tera Types.
Pokémon Violet: Trading via the Union Circle (requires Nintendo Switch Online) or transferring from Pokémon HOME (compatible with Pokémon Sword/Shield, Pokémon GO, and Pokémon Scarlet) are necessary. Instructions for the HOME transfer method are provided below.

Deino evolves into Zweilous at level 50, and Zweilous evolves into Hydreigon at level 64. Utilize auto-battling or Exp. Candies (L and XL recommended) for efficient leveling.
