Nidoking is a Poison/Ground-type Pokémon (National Dex #34) with a middling stat total of 505. 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 Attack at 102, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. 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, Nidoking takes super-effective damage from Water, Ice, Ground, Psychic. It is completely immune to Electric. It resists Fighting, Poison, Bug, Rock, Fairy. Its ability options are Poison Point, Rivalry, Sheer Force, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Nidoking evolves into Nidorino. 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, Nidoking has 62 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (12), BDSP (27), Let's Go (23) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Nidoking ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
