Gastrodon

WaterGround

Available for SV SWSH BDSP PLA

Gastrodon is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon (National Dex #423) with a middling stat total of 475. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, BDSP and Legends: Arceus, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is HP at 111, which makes it a defensive wall. 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, Gastrodon takes super-effective damage from Grass at 4×. It is completely immune to Electric. It resists Fire, Poison, Rock, Steel. Its ability options are Sticky Hold, Storm Drain, Sand Force, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Gastrodon evolves into Shellos (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, Gastrodon has 25 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (7), Sword & Shield (3), BDSP (13), Legends: Arceus (2) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Gastrodon ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
