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

It evolves from Shieldon at level 30.

Biology

Physiology

Bastiodon appears to be a cross between a Chasmosaurus 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 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.
