Bastiodon (Japanese: トリデプス Trideps) is a Rock/Steel-type Pokémon. It is available in Generation IV games.

Biology

Bastiodon is a fossil pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from a Shieldon resurrected from an Armor Fossil.

Physiology

Bastiodon appears to be a cross between a Triceratops, and a bulldozer. The small, shield-like growth this Pokémon had before evolution has been completely upgraded to a large, castle wall-shaped shield, 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 grey spikes along Bastiodon's back.

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

Habitat

Fossils from which Bastiodon can be ressurrected are only known from the Sinnoh region.

Diet

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