Bastiodon (Japanese: トリデプス Trideps) is a dual-type Rock/Steel Pokémon.
It evolves from Shieldon starting at level 30.
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.
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.
