Available for SV BDSP
Order Donphan — free

Donphan is a Ground-type Pokémon (National Dex #232) with a middling stat total of 500. 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 120, 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, Donphan takes super-effective damage from Water, Grass, Ice. It is completely immune to Electric. It resists Poison, Rock. Its ability options are Sturdy, Sand Veil, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Donphan evolves into Phanpy (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, Donphan has 28 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (19), BDSP (9) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Donphan ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
