Byron's Bastiodon (Japanese: トウガンのトリデプス Tougan's Torideps) is Byron's main battling Pokémon in the anime, manga, and games.
In the anime
Histoy
Pre-series
Prior to the start of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, Byron revived Bastiodon from an Armor Fossil and evolved Shieldon into a Bastiodon.
Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl
Bastiodon first appeared in Ancient Family Matters!, where Byron used it to battle against his son Roark and his Rampardos. Roark started the fight by having Rampardos repeatedly using Zen Headbutt, which was counted by Bastiodon's Iron Defense. Bastiodon then went on the offense and used Flamethrower, which was dodged. Rampardos attacked with a powerful Head Smash, which Bastiodon combatted with Iron Head. At a standstill, the two attacked with Flamethrower and Flash Cannon. Rampardos began to show signs of fatigue, but an alarm went off in the Gym, causing the battle to be called off.
The alarm was revealed to be caused by Team Rocket, who had stolen the Fossils from the Gym. Byron and Roark teamed up and had Bastiodon and Rampardos attack the mecha Team Rocket was using, but the attacks caused no damage. Meowth begans to throw chunks of earth at them, causing the two to retreat. Bastiodon stepped in and took the attacks, allowing Rampardos to attack the machine. Worried that they may not survive much more, Team Rocket attempted to flee, only to be hit by Bastiodon and Rampardos. The attack created an opening for Ash's Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, destroying the machine.
In Dealing With Defensive Types!, Bastiodon is used as Byron's last Pokémon in his Gym battle against Ash, fighting against his Chimchar. Wanting to end the battle quickly Ash has Chimchar use Flamethrower. Bastiodon stands its ground and uses Iron Defense to handle the attack and then uses Metal Burst to send the damage back, knocking Chimchar out. It next faces his Gliscor, who starts the battle with Steel Wing from behind, which Bastiodon counters with Iron Defense. It then tries Fire Fang, only to be countered by Flash Cannon. While recovering Bastiodon goes on the offense and strikes with Iron Head multiple times. Although weakened Gliscor manages to get close enough to Bastiodon to grab on to it from behind, allowing it to use consecutive Fire Fangs. Bastiodon shakes it off and attacks with Flash Cannon, but it misses when Gliscor uses its tail to knock Bastiodon over. Bastiodon manages to hit the Fang Scorpion Pokémon with another Iron Head, but is finally defeated when Gliscor gets behind it again and uses Fire Fang.
Bastiodon also appeared alongside Byron during the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Personality and characteristics
Like most of its species, Bastiodon is incredibly defensive, able to withstand many attacks, even having the upper hand in battle against Rampardos, a highly offensive Pokémon. It is Byron's favorite Fossil Pokémon and as a result is his most trusted teammate.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Don
Byron had a Shieldon that first appeared in A Big Stink Over Stunky. Due to his stubborn nature Byron was unable to bond with him. He eventually gave him to Diamond due to Shieldon liking the Trainer. Shieldon has since evolved into Bastiodon and been named Don.
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Bastiodon first appeared in Challenge! The Fortress Of Steel!!, where it was sent out to finish off Hareta's Piplup during Hareta and Byron's gym battle. In The Legendary Pokémon, Captured, Bastiodon took on Saturn's Bronzong where its Take Down was blocked by Reflect and was finished by Bronzong's Earthquake. In Bonds Connect Across Space-Time..., Bastiodon was seen along with the Gym Leaders's other Pokémon where they were battling with Palkia in order to protect Hareta. However, Palkia canceled out their attacks.
