Kingambit

DarkSteel

Available for SV

Kingambit is a Dark/Steel-type Pokémon (National Dex #983) with a high stat total of 550. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Scarlet & Violet, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 135, 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, Kingambit takes super-effective damage from Fighting at 4×, and Fire, Ground at 2×. It is completely immune to Poison, Psychic. It resists Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel. Its ability options are Defiant, Supreme Overlord, Pressure, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Kingambit evolves into Bisharp. 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, Kingambit has 21 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (21) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Kingambit ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
