Since the northern and southern hemisphere experience the seasons at a different time, this means that there are currently two different Deerling forms available in Pokémon Go. Though you'd have to do some significant travelling to capture both! Trainers in the northern hemisphere can catch Winter Deerling, while those in the southern hemisphere may encounter Summer Deerling. Winter Deerling can be found in the northern hemisphere, while Summer Deerling can be found in the south. Deerling and Sawsbuck forms in Poké mon Go explained Deerling and Sawsbuck are unique in the Pokémon universe as being the only Pokémon to have an appearance that changes along with the seasons. This means that both Pokémon have four unique forms - spring, summer, autumn and winter. This design choice originates from how the games both Pokémon debuted in - Pokémon Black and White - had a seasonal mechanic; every month would cycle through a new season, allowing players to experience different weather conditions and catch different Pokémon. The appearance of Deerling and Sawsbuck would alter along with this seasonal change both in the wild and within your party. This change, however, is purely cosmetic, with both Pokémon retaining their moveset and typing - normal and grass-type. With the arrival of Gen 6, Deerling and Sawsbuck would become permanently stuck in their spring forms, as the seasonal mechanic was abandoned. Thanks to Pokémon Go being tied to the real world seasons, we will, however, be able to catch all four forms for both Pokémon throughout the year.
