Biology
Physiology
Deerling is a quadrupedal mammalian Pokémon that resembles a deer fawn. Its pelt changes color during the four seasons, matching the color of foliage. It varies from a flowery pink (in spring), a lush green (in summer), a brilliant orange (in autumn), and a dull brown (in winter). In the spring it matches the pink flowers, in the summer it matches the green leaves, in fall it matches the orange leaves littering the ground, and in winter it matches the bare brown branches and dead leaves of trees. Deerling has a yellow flower-like feature atop its head that does not change with the seasons. It has large long deer-like ears with yellow insides, brown eyes and a pointed snout with a round shiny black nose. Its face and underside are always cream-colored.
Evolution
Deerling evolves into Sawsbuck at level 34.
