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
The Bastiodon card was released in 2007 as part of the POP Series 6 set, a promotional line distributed primarily through the Pokémon Organized Play program. These cards were made available through league play, tournament rewards, and special events, serving as a way to encourage community engagement and competitive participation in the Trading Card Game during the Diamond & Pearl era.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-known for his distinctively bold and expressive depictions of Pokémon. In this illustration, Bastiodon is presented with a focus on its signature shield-like face and metallic plating, emphasizing its defensive capabilities as a Steel-type Pokémon. It was received by the player base as a sturdy, albeit niche, collector's item that represented the expansion of the game into the Sinnoh region's fossil-based mechanics.
