Ferrothorn is a Grass/Steel-type Pokémon (National Dex #598) with a middling stat total of 489. 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 Defense at 131, which makes it a defensive wall. 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, Ferrothorn takes super-effective damage from Fire at 4×, and Fighting at 2×. It is completely immune to Poison. It resists Normal, Water, Electric, Grass, Psychic, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy. Its ability options are Iron Barbs, Anticipation, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Ferrothorn evolves into Ferroseed (40). 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, Ferrothorn has 14 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (14) — 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 Ferrothorn ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
