You can use a Change Set to deploy Custom Picklists however it will not pickup custom values in the standard picklists such as Account.Industry, Case.Reason, etc.
To deploy the custom values in standard picklists you have to use a method of deployment that uses the Metadata API directly, e.g. Salesforce IDE, Salesforce Deployment tool or workbench. These will need to have the standard picklist field included in the 'custom fields' section of the package.xml and then it will deploy them.
This is a known issue and there is an idea community topic for it.
