Order Dottler — free

Dottler is a Bug/Psychic-type Pokémon (National Dex #825) with a low stat total of 335. 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 Sp. Def at 90, 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, Dottler takes super-effective damage from Fire, Flying, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dark. It resists Grass, Fighting, Ground, Psychic. Its ability options are Swarm, Compound Eyes, Telepathy, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Dottler evolves into Orbeetle (30). 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, Dottler has 21 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (21) — 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 Dottler ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
