Shieldon (Japanese: タテトプス Tatetops) is a Rock/Steel-type Pokémon. It is available in Generation IV games. This Pokémon comes with the ability Sturdy, making one-hit KO moves useless on it. Like Cranidos, Kabuto, Omanyte, Aerodactyl, Anorith, and Lileep, this Pokémon was cloned from a fossil; in this case the Armor Fossil.
Biology
Physiology
Shieldon is a small reptile with a yellow body. It has white toes and bears a white bump on its back. Shieldon has a dark-gray oval-shaped face. Shieldon may be ancient relatives to the Aron line due to identical typing and partially similar movepools, especially the ability to learn Metal Burst.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Shieldon possesses an extremely hard facial hide. However, it is vulnerable when attacked from behind.
Behavior
Shieldon has a habit of polishing its face against tree trunks.
Habitat
Shieldon once lived in dense forests, but has been extinct from the wild for 100 million years and only exists via being cloned from fossil samples, and descendants of said clones.
Fossils from which Shieldon can be resurrected can only be found in the Sinnoh region.

Trivia
Origin
Shieldon is based on a Ceratopsian dinosaur and a shield. Its lack of horns makes it particularly similar to a Protoceratops.
Name origin
Shieldon's name is derived from "shield" referring to the shield-like growth on its head, and don which is a suffix in various dinosaur names. Tatetops comes from the words 盾 tate, shield, and -tops, which is a suffix that's used in the names of horned dinosaurs. Its German name, Schilterus, comes from Schild. Its French name, Dinoclier, comes from dinosaure and bouclier.
