Available for SV SWSH BDSP LGPE
Order Sandshrew — free

Sandshrew is a Ground-type Pokémon (National Dex #27) with a low stat total of 300. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, 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 85, 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, Sandshrew takes super-effective damage from Water, Grass, Ice. It is completely immune to Electric. It resists Poison, Rock. Its ability options are Sand Veil, Sand Rush, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash (22). 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, Sandshrew has 54 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (10), Sword & Shield (7), BDSP (32), Let's Go (5) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Sandshrew ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
