Charjabug

BugElectric

Available for SV SWSH

Charjabug is a Bug/Electric-type Pokémon (National Dex #737) with a middling stat total of 400. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Defense at 95, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. 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, Charjabug takes super-effective damage from Fire, Rock. It resists Electric, Grass, Fighting, Steel. Its ability options are Battery.

Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt. 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, Charjabug has 27 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (12), Sword & Shield (15) — 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 Charjabug ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
