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

It evolves from Shieldon starting at level 30, after it is revived from an Armor Fossil.

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, with yellow spot patterns on it. The shield is large enough to protect Bastiodon from attacks. On its feet, smaller, shield-like growths sprout upward to protect the Pokémon's legs. There are also small gray spikes on a ridge of black along Bastiodon's back. Bastiodon's tail is also black in coloration.

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, aggressive 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

Bastiodon eat grass and Berries.

Minor appearances


Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP107 Bastiodon Dawn's Pokédex Bastiodon, the Shield Pokémon and the evolved form of Shieldon. Its massively powerful shield-like face can deflect even the strongest of attacks.

In the manga

Diamond's Bastiodon, Don

In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga

Bastiodon made a minor appearance in Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 under the ownership of Mako. The reporter used the large Shield Pokémon to block the titular thief's progress, but didn't actually battle him.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Diamond's Shieldon, nicknamed "Don," evolved into a Bastiodon fighting several opponents at the Galactic Veilstone Building. Already a sturdy Pokémon prior to evolving, this solidified its strong defenses even more.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!
