Watchog is a Normal-type Pokémon (National Dex #505) with a middling stat total of 420. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Legends: Z-A, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Attack 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, Watchog takes super-effective damage from Fighting. It is completely immune to Ghost. Its ability options are Illuminate, Keen Eye, Analytic, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Watchog evolves into Patrat (20). 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, Watchog has 34 recorded encounter locations across Legends: Z-A (34) — 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, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Watchog ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
