Darmanitan is a Fire-type Pokémon (National Dex #555) with a middling stat total of 480. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 140, 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, Darmanitan takes super-effective damage from Water, Ground, Rock. It resists Fire, Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel, Fairy. Its ability options are Sheer Force, Zen Mode, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Darmanitan evolves into Darumaka (35). 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, Darmanitan has 8 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (8) — 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 Darmanitan ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
