Water
Available for PLZA SWSH BDSP LGPE
Order Staryu — free

Staryu is a Water-type Pokémon (National Dex #120) with a low stat total of 340. You can have one built for Legends: Z-A, 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 Speed at 85, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Special Attack outweighs Attack by a clear margin, so Modest or Timid with a special move set is the natural build. 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, Staryu takes super-effective damage from Electric, Grass. It resists Fire, Water, Ice, Steel. Its ability options are Illuminate, Natural Cure, Analytic, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Staryu evolves into Starmie. 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, Staryu has 44 recorded encounter locations across Legends: Z-A (7), Sword & Shield (8), BDSP (20), Let's Go (9) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Staryu ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
