Thievul is a Dark-type Pokémon (National Dex #828) with a middling stat total of 455. You can have one built for Legends: Z-A and Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Sp. Def at 92, 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, Thievul takes super-effective damage from Fighting, Bug, Fairy. It is completely immune to Psychic. It resists Ghost, Dark. Its ability options are Run Away, Unburden, Stakeout, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Thievul evolves into Nickit (18). 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, Thievul has 20 recorded encounter locations across Legends: Z-A (5), Sword & Shield (15) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Thievul ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
