What it does
During your opponent's next turn, if this Pokémon is damaged by an attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon equal to the damage done to this Pokémon.
This attack does 10 more damage for each of your Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it.
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 Steam Siege expansion, released by The Pokémon Company International in August 2016. This set focused on the theme of dual-type Pokémon, highlighting the mechanical evolution of the game’s card interactions. As a Stage 2 Metal-type Pokémon evolving from Shieldon, Bastiodon is rooted in the design sensibilities of the Sinnoh region, originally debuting in the Generation IV video games as a defensive specialist known for its massive, shield-like face.
The artwork for this particular card was produced by Midori Harada, a long-time illustrator for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Harada’s design emphasizes the creature's formidable, immovable nature, utilizing bold, metallic tones to reflect its elemental type. Within the competitive landscape of the Steam Siege set, the card was received as a niche utility piece, valued more by collectors interested in the completion of the Metal-type roster than by high-level tournament players due to its specific energy requirements and defensive playstyle.
