Deerling (Japanese: シキジカ Shikijika) is a dual-type Normal/Grass Pokémon.
It evolves into Sawsbuck starting at level 34.
Deerling changes its appearance depending on the current season. However, this change in form does not occur after capture, unless it is present in the player's party at the time of a season change. This applies to eggs as well.
- When the month is January, May, or September, the season is Spring, and it becomes Spring Deerling.
- When the month is February, June, or October, the season is Summer, and it becomes Summer Deerling.
- When the month is March, July, or November, the season is Autumn, and it becomes Autumn Deerling.
- When the month is April, August, or December, the season is Winter, and it becomes Winter Deerling.
Biology
Physiology
Deerling is a deer or fawn-like Pokémon, most resembling a fallow deer, with facial similarities to Shaymin’s Sky Forme. The upper side of its body is colored either pink, green, orange, or brown, depending on the season, and is rimmed and dappled with yellow patterns, with the underside of its body being a lighter beige shade. It sports a yellowish-colored, floral tuft on its head, and similar yellow coloration on the ear insides of its tapering ears. The tips of its limbs are colored black and its pink tail is small.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Deerling changes in appearance with the changing of the seasons: in the spring it is pink, in the summer it is green, in the fall it is orange, and in the winter it is brown.
Behavior
Deerling hide in tall grass when they sense animosity. Deerling tend to move in herds due to their timidity towards humans.
Habitat
Deerling can be found almost anywhere throughout the Unova region. It seems as if this Pokémon can adapt according to the season and temperature, and this is why there is a laboratory in Unova designated to the studies of the powerful ability of adaptation that Deerling and their evolved form possess. This Pokémon dwells in sparsely populated areas, away from humans.

Major appearances
A herd of Deerling (Spring Form) appeared in In The Shadow of Zekrom!. Another herd appeared in Enter Iris and Axew!, where Ash attempted to catch one; however, as he had not weakened it, the Deerling was able to deflect the Poké Ball and fled with the rest of the herd.

Trivia
Origin
Deerling is based on a Fallow Deer fawn, or perhaps a Sika Deer.
Name origin
Deerling is likely a combination of deer and yearling, referencing both its young age and its ties to the year's four seasons. It may also be derived from the suffix -ling, meaning a younger form. It could also represent a mix of dear and darling, both common terms of endearment. Furthermore, it could incorporate "sapling," referring to its Grass-type and abilities. Shikijika is a combination of 四季 shiki, four seasons, and 鹿 shika, deer.
