If you’re on the hunt for Deino in Galar, then we’ve got some bad news to get out of the way. Deino is one of the many version exclusives in this generation’s selection of cool Pokemon – it’s exclusive to Pokemon Sword. For a full list of version exclusives, we’ve got you covered right here.

Now, without much further ado – you’re curious about where to find Deino in Pokemon Sword. Well, the answer is pretty straightforward. You’re going to find Deino around the Lake of Outrage in the Wild Area.

Deino evolves into Zweilous and then into Hydreigon, gaining what appears to be both extra heads and better eyesight per each step on the evolutionary ladder.
