Tarountula is a Bug-type Pokémon (National Dex #917) with a low stat total of 210. 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 45, 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, Tarountula takes super-effective damage from Fire, Flying, Rock. It resists Grass, Fighting, Ground. Its ability options are Insomnia, Stakeout, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Tarountula evolves into Spidops (15). 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, Tarountula has 44 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (44) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Tarountula ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
