During my testing in the Catalina beta version I was able to download 10.15, 10.14.6, 10.14.5, and 10.13.6. I was not able to test if 10.13.6 would download the hardware specific build of 10.13.6 for the 2018 MacBook Pro, since I do not have that hardware.

So, to pull 10.13.6 down, you’d use:

softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 10.13.6
