Strategy Overview
Deino may appear to be a strong wallbreaker with its arsenal of good coverage moves backed by Hustle, but its capability in the current Little Cup metagame is actually rather limited. Its Speed is terrible, forcing it to use a Choice Scarf or risk being overrun by faster threats. While its defensive typing gives it useful resistances to Water, Grass, Electric, and Dark, its weaknesses to common Fighting- and Fairy-types only further limit its usefulness. Deino's reliance on Hustle as its main source of power means it is unreliable, ultimately leaving Deino as a poor choice in a metagame full of more potent threats.
