Nidoran♂

Poison
Available for SWSH BDSP LGPE
Order Nidoran♂ — free

Nidoran♂ is a Poison-type Pokémon (National Dex #32) with a low stat total of 273. 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 57, 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, Nidoran♂ takes super-effective damage from Ground, Psychic. It resists Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug, Fairy. Its ability options are Poison Point, Rivalry, Hustle, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Nidoran♂ evolves into Nidorino (16), Nidoking. 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, Nidoran♂ has 47 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (10), BDSP (26), Let's Go (11) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Nidoran♂ ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
