Armaldo

RockBug

Available for SWSH BDSP

Armaldo is a Rock/Bug-type Pokémon (National Dex #348) with a middling stat total of 495. You can have one built for Sword & Shield and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 125, 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, Armaldo takes super-effective damage from Water, Rock, Steel. It resists Normal, Poison. Its ability options are Battle Armor, Swift Swim, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Armaldo evolves into Anorith (40). 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, Armaldo has 10 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (8), BDSP (2) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Armaldo ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
