GenPKM's newest game has hit the Grid. Inspired by Disney's 1982 classic TRON, TRON Advanced is a fast, free-to-play lightcycle arena where one wrong turn ends the run.

Archen is a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #566) with a middling stat total of 401. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack at 112, which makes it a slow but heavy-hitting attacker. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Archen takes super-effective damage from Water, Electric, Ice, Rock, Steel. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Bug. Its ability options are Defeatist.
Archen evolves into Archeops (37). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Archen has 8 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (8) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Archen ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
