Available for SV SWSH BDSP
Order Chinchou — free

Chinchou is a Water/Electric-type Pokémon (National Dex #170) with a low stat total of 330. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is HP at 75, 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, Chinchou takes super-effective damage from Grass, Ground. It resists Fire, Water, Ice, Flying, Steel. Its ability options are Volt Absorb, Illuminate, Water Absorb, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Chinchou evolves into Lanturn (27). 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, Chinchou has 34 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (5), Sword & Shield (14), BDSP (15) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Chinchou ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
