Event Schedule
Local time
Deino spawns abundantly in the wild with a Shiny chance.
3× Catch XP, 3-hour Incense, 1-hour Lure Modules.
Evolve Zweilous into Hydreigon to learn Brutal Swing.
Exclusive move analysis
Slightly better DPE/DPS than Crunch, but Hydreigon falls behind top Dark attackers like Mega Tyranitar / Mega Houndoom for raid use. Still a decent secondary attacker.
An efficient 55-damage / 5-energy Dark Charged Move. Faster to fire than Dark Pulse — strong in Master League and limited cups.
Evolution chain
Usage evaluation
Dark secondary attacker
Strong dual-STAB Dark/Dragon attacker, but Fairy weakness and average bulk hold it back. Shadow Hydreigon ranks #3 among Dark attackers, but the regular form serves as a backup behind Mega Houndoom / Shadow Salamence.
Not recommended
Crowded out by Giratina and Zygarde in the Dragon/Ghost meta.
Situationally recommended
Dual Dark/Dragon typing handles most of the meta outside of Fairy. Brutal Swing offers a fast, hard-hitting Dark option.
1 high-IV for Master League + 1–2 high-Attack IVs for raids + 1–2 Shinies. Send the rest to the professor for candy.
A versatile classic return. A great event for hunting a Master League high-IV Hydreigon and a Shiny Deino at the same time.
Mega Evolution bonus
Catching Pokémon that match a Mega-evolved Pokémon's type gives +1 candy
Mega Evolve any Dragon-type Mega for +1 Deino candy on catch
Mega Evolve any Dark-type Mega for +1 Deino candy on catch

Tips
Hydreigon is a strong Dark/Dragon attacker, also useful in Master League. Prioritize high-Attack IVs for raid/Master use.
Evolution deadline is 9 PM — you have 4 extra hours after the event ends to check IVs and Shinies.
Brutal Swing is a 55-damage / 5-energy Dark Charged Move in PvP (65 damage in raids) — its faster spam complements Dark Pulse (45 energy / 95 damage).
Mega Latios/Mega Latias (Dragon Megas) grant +1 Deino candy on catch.
