Deino (Pokémon)

|}
Deino (Japanese: モノズ Monozu) is a dual-type introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into starting at level 50, which evolves into starting at level 64.
==Biology==
Deino is a small blue quadrupedal with black fur covering its head and neck, concealing everything but its mouth from view. The fur around its neck also has six purple spots encircling it, which resemble bruises. The hair on the top of its head takes the shape of a single small horn. It also has a short tail that appears to be bitten off. Deino's body is covered in wounds.
As Deino is blind, it figures out its surroundings by ramming and biting. It primarily lives in caves with abundant water sources but little food source, so it will eat anything that moves, and memorizes the scents of its favorite things that it has tasted. It has the vigor and energy to bite constantly, making it dangerous to approach without taking precautions. As seen in the episode The Lonely Deino!, it may rear up on its hind legs when happy.
