How to Get a Hydreigon in Pokémon Black

Reviewed by Ishrak

Looking for the pseudo-legendary of Pokémon Black and White? With Hydreigon, you'll be nearly unbeatable.

Steps

You must first catch a Deino, which can be found on the 1st and 3rd floors of Victory Road by walking, and it has a 20% of showing up. The location of Deino is the same in both Black and White.
It would also be wise to have a Pokémon who knows the move False Swipe. No matter how strong your Pokémon is, the move False Swipe will always leave the target with at least 1 hp.

Dusk Balls are very effective at night, or in dark places such as caves.
Wild Pokémon may surprise you by having high-damage dealing attacks.
Beware of moves that burn or poison, as they will drain the Deino's life, possibly before you can capture it.
Deino doesn't evolve into Zweilous until level 50.

If you feel up to a fight, Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, will be in Undella Town. You can battle her, but be wary that her Pokémon are level 70+.

Once you defeat the Elite Four, you can rematch them. Be wary, their Pokémon will also be in the 70s.

Use the Exp. Share until your Pokémon is strong enough to fight on its own, then have it hold the Lucky Egg.

After defeating the Elite Four, most battles will feature Pokémon level 60+ (the upside is that battles of higher level offer more exp).

Using things that burn or poison the Deino during battle will eventually run its hp out if you don't catch it quickly enough.

Deino is unavailable until you have all 8 gym badges.
