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.

Evolving Deino:

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.
