Grass
Available for SV BDSP
Order Cacnea — free

Cacnea is a Grass-type Pokémon (National Dex #331) with a low stat total of 335. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 85, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. 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, Cacnea takes super-effective damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug. It resists Water, Electric, Grass, Ground. Its ability options are Sand Veil, Water Absorb, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Cacnea evolves into Cacturne (32). 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, Cacnea has 28 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (4), BDSP (24) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Cacnea ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
