Moveset e set competitivi di Deino

Moves STAB Outrage has insane power with Hustle, but is somewhat unfavorable to be locked into due to Fairy-types. Crunch is the reliable secondary STAB move of choice, with good coverage. Superpower provides coverage on Steel- and Rock-types. Lastly, Zen Headbutt is for coverage on Poison-types such as Trubbish and Fighting-types such as Mienfoo. Set Details The EV spread used maximizes Speed and Attack, its two most prominent stats, while the rest is put in HP and Defense to boost Deino's bulk. A Jolly nature is used to maximize Speed so that Deino can outspeed most of the tier with a Choice Scarf. Lastly, Hustle gives Deino its niche. Usage Tips Use Deino as a late-game cleaner or a revenge killer, as that is all it is capable of. Before trying to clean late-game, make sure all Pokemon with Sturdy aren't at full HP. Entry hazards aid tremendously in this case. Team Options Poison-types such as Foongus, Trubbish, and Croagunk are good teammates, as they resist Fairy-type moves and can pick off Fighting-types for Deino. Additionally, Trubbish also makes a good teammate as it can lay Spikes for Deino to have an easier time cleaning. Finally, Ghost-types make good teammates as they are immune to Fighting-type moves. Honedge and Gastly stand out, as they also resist Fairy.

Deino has just enough Speed to be able to run an effective Choice Scarf set, and with Hustle to boost its Attack to frightening levels, it can pose as a frightening sweeper. Outrage and Crunch are two powerful, reliable STAB moves that can easily tear down unprepared teams or teams that have their Steel-types removed. Outrage hits an astonishing 270 Base Power factoring in STAB and Hustle, and is perfect for cutting through offensive teams. Deino's wide movepool gives it many other options as coverage, and they can be used according to what you want Deino to hit. Here are some calculations that display Deino's power: Outrage vs. 156/196+ Eviolite Mienfoo: 65.21-78.26% Outrage vs. 132/212+ Eviolite Hippopotas: 48-60% Outrage vs. 0/36 Drilbur: 122.72-150% Crunch vs. 0/0 Eviolite Misdreavus: 109.09-136.36% Head Smash vs. 116/156+ Eviolite Shelmet: 86.95-104.34% Superpower is suggested for the third slot, as it smacks Steel-types for a lot of damage. The last slot is for super effective coverage. Head Smash is a really powerful coverage move that smashes Fire-, Ice-, and Bug-types, but has nasty recoil. Zen Headbutt can be used to hit incoming Fighting-types for a lot of damage, and it hits Croagunk especially hard. It should be noted that Deino should be played with caution, because Hustle decreases the accuracy of all of its moves, making it an unreliable attacker. The EVs and Jolly nature give Deino enough Speed to outspeed every unboosted opponent when it holds a Choice Scarf. Then, they are invested in Attack to make Deino as powerful as possible. The rest of the EVs are then split between HP and Defense to give Deino some bulk. Because Deino likes to come in and immediately start smashing things, it appreciates the removal of Steel-types, which prevent it from spamming Outrage. Magnemite can reliably trap Bronzor and also resists the Bug- and Ice-type attacks that Deino is weak to. Fire-types such as Larvesta or Ponyta also make good partners because of their ability to tackle Steel-types. They also resist Ice- and Bug-type attacks, and the former even resists Fighting-type attacks and can pivot with U-turn to bring Deino in safely. Fighting-types such as Mienfoo or Croagunk can work as teammates as well. Mienfoo can hit Steel-types hard with Fighting-type STAB and Knock Off Eviolites from the physical walls it baits in. Croagunk can do the same, and it can check most Fighting-types that give Deino trouble. Entry hazard setters such as Ferroseed or Dwebble make good partners too. They can lay Spikes and Stealth Rock, which damage incoming walls and brings many Pokemon into OHKO or 2HKO range. Psychic-types are great partners, as they can hit physical walls hard with their special attacks and can hit Fighting-types super effectively, removing Deino's checks. Deino, in turn, can remove Ghost- and Dark-types that give Psychic-types trouble.
