Everything We Know About Wyrdeer

Wyrdeer was first introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch. Originating from the Hisui region, which is known as the Sinnoh region in modern-day lore, Wyrdeer is the evolution of Stantler from Generation 2. However, it is considered extinct in the current Pokémon world.

Wyrdeer draws inspiration from deer, specifically resembling reindeer with its thicker fur and larger antlers compared to Stantler. The residents of the Hisui region historically used Wyrdeer’s fur for clothing, which may have contributed to its decline. Additionally, the orbs within Wyrdeer’s antlers are said to possess psychic powers that can distort space, leading to speculation that these Pokémon may have simply gone into hiding.
