Deino (#633) is a Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon from the Unova region (Generation 5) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,214 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Deino has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Deino in 2026.
Deino's Attack stat is 116 (Below Average). The lower Attack stat means Deino may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 93 Defense (Below Average) and 141 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 350. Trainers should be mindful of Deino's limited bulk. Compared to other Dark-type Pokémon, Deino's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Deino depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Tackle (Fast) with Dragon Pulse (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Deino has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Deino can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Dark/Dragon typing provides useful matchups against Psychic, Ghost, Dark-type threats while being weak to Fairy, Fighting, Bug types.
In Master League, Deino faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Deino's effectiveness depends on its typing and 116 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Deino use Fairy, Fighting-type moves.
Deino can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Foggy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 5km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Deino is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
