Order Whirlipede — free

Whirlipede is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon (National Dex #544) with a low stat total of 360. 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 Defense at 99, 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, Whirlipede takes super-effective damage from Fire, Flying, Psychic, Rock. It resists Grass, Fighting, Poison, Bug, Fairy. Its ability options are Poison Point, Swarm, Speed Boost, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Whirlipede evolves into Scolipede (30). 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, Whirlipede has 13 recorded encounter locations across Legends: Z-A (6), Sword & Shield (7) — 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 Whirlipede ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
