No other Pokémon shares the same type combination as Deerling and Sawsbuck.
It is one of the five Normal-type Pokémon which have a secondary type that is not Flying. The others are Girafarig, Bibarel, Meloetta and its own evolution Sawsbuck.
Out of all the dual Normal type Pokémon, Deerling has the most weaknesses. This is shared with its evolution, Sawsbuck.
Deerling is based on either a Fallow Deer or a fawn.
Deerling's Japanese name is a combination of 四季 shiki, four seasons, and 鹿 shika, deer. The English name was formed with "deer" (since it resembles one) and "ling" since some baby animals carry that suffix, as in the words: duckling, fledgling (a bird who has just learned how to fly), and gosling.
Deerling and Sawsbuck are the only Pokémon that have seasonal forms.
