Kabuto is a Rock/Water-type Pokémon (National Dex #140) with a low stat total of 355. You can have one built for Sword & Shield, BDSP and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Defense at 90, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. 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, Kabuto takes super-effective damage from Grass at 4×, and Electric, Fighting, Ground at 2×. It resists Normal, Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying. Its ability options are Swift Swim, Battle Armor, Weak Armor, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Kabuto evolves into Kabutops (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, Kabuto has 17 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (9), BDSP (3), Let's Go (5) — 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 Kabuto ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
