Cherubi

Grass

Available for SWSH BDSP PLA

Cherubi is a Grass-type Pokémon (National Dex #420) with a low stat total of 275. You can have one built for Sword & Shield, BDSP and Legends: Arceus, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 62, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. 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, Cherubi takes super-effective damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug. It resists Water, Electric, Grass, Ground. Its ability options are Chlorophyll.

Cherubi evolves into Cherrim (25). 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, Cherubi has 60 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (19), BDSP (35), Legends: Arceus (6) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Cherubi ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
