Orthworm is a Steel-type Pokémon (National Dex #968) with a middling stat total of 480. 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 Defense at 145, which makes it a defensive wall. 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, Orthworm takes super-effective damage from Fire, Fighting, Ground. It is completely immune to Poison. It resists Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Steel, Fairy. Its ability options are Earth Eater, Sand Veil, and you choose which one your copy carries.

In-game, Orthworm has 19 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (19) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Scarlet & Violet, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Orthworm ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
