What it does
Prevent all damage done to your Benched Pokémon by your opponent's attacks.
If Bastiodon was damaged by an attack during your opponent's last turn, this attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
Any frontal attack is repulsed. It is a docile Pokémon that feeds on grass and berries.

Where it came from
Bastiodon was introduced as part of the Mysterious Treasures expansion, released by The Pokémon Company in 2007. This set focused heavily on the Sinnoh region, specifically highlighting fossil-based Pokémon revived through the new mechanics introduced in the fourth generation of the video games. Bastiodon represents the Shieldon evolution, a creature characterized by its metallic, fortress-like face, designed to reflect the defensive playstyle associated with the Steel type.
The artwork for this card was created by Masakazu Fukuda, a recurring illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game known for his clean, digital aesthetic. In this piece, Fukuda emphasizes the defensive stance of the creature, showcasing its bulky frame and shield-like visage. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid rare in the expansion, valued by players for its ability to anchor defensive decks during the Diamond and Pearl era of the competitive metagame.
