Hippowdon

Ground
Available for SV PLZA SWSH BDSP PLA
Order Hippowdon — free

Hippowdon is a Ground-type Pokémon (National Dex #450) with a high stat total of 525. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A, 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 Defense at 118, 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, Hippowdon takes super-effective damage from Water, Grass, Ice. It is completely immune to Electric. It resists Poison, Rock. Its ability options are Sand Stream, Sand Force, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Hippowdon evolves into Hippopotas (34). 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, Hippowdon has 55 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (12), Legends: Z-A (8), Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (20), Legends: Arceus (5) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, BDSP, Legends: Arceus, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Hippowdon ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
