Trivia
- Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Deino evolves to its final form, Hydreigon, later than any other Pokémon, evolving at level 64.
- Deino also evolves into its second form at level 50, later than any other Pokémon that evolves by level than can evolve again.
- Deino's evolutionary family, along with Bagon's, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the Dragon Egg Group.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Deino and its evolutionary relatives.
- Despite being blind, Deino is still affected by accuracy-reducing moves that would seemingly require the target have eyesight to work.
- According to interviews with Sugimori, Deino and it's evolutions were originally intended to be cyborg dragons - part tank and part dragon. They were then scrapped until late in the game when they were revived and re-made to be based on Yamata_no_Orochi.
Origin
Deino is based on a dragon, specifically an infant form of Yamata_no_Orochi. Its blindness and the fact that it is only found in the Victory Road cave may mean it suffers from subterranean blindness.
Name origin
Deino may come from dino, a slang term for a dinosaur, and ein, German for one. Deino could also be derived from the ancient Greek word deinos, which means terrifying. Monozu probably derives from mono, a Greek prefix meaning one, and 頭 zu, Japanese for head, its full name literally reading "one head".
