Bastiodon (Japanese: トリデプス Trideps) is a dual-type Rock/Steel Pokémon.

It evolves from Shieldon starting at level 30.

Contents

Biology

Physiology

Bastiodon appears to be a cross between a Zuniceratops and a bulldozer. The small, shield-like growth this Pokémon had before evolution has grown into a large shield bearing some resemblance to a castle wall. The shield is large enough to protect it from attacks. On its feet, smaller, shield-like growths sprout upward to protect the Pokémon's legs. There are also small gray spikes along Bastiodon's back. Bastiodon could possibly be an ancient relative of Aggron since both have similar typing, appearance, and can learn most of the same moves.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Aside from Bastiodon having amazing defensive capabilities, it can learn some powerful attack oriented moves, such as Metal Burst and Iron Head.

Behavior

Despite its rough, cruel appearance, Bastiodon is surprisingly timid and caring. It will go to great lengths to protect the young in its herd.

Bastiodon in the anime

Habitat

Fossils from which Bastiodon's pre-evolved form can be resurrected are only known from the Sinnoh region.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Despite its mean looking exterior, Bastiodon eats grass and berries.

In the anime

Bastiodon made its debut appearance in the anime in Ancient Family Matters! under the ownership of Byron. It also appeared in Dealing With Defensive Types! where it was used in the gym battle against Ash.
