Bastiodon

Bastiodon is a dual-type Pokémon belonging to the Rock and Steel types. It is the evolved form of Shieldon and is renowned for its defensive capabilities and fortress-like appearance.

Type: Rock/Steel

Abilities: - Sturdy: This ability prevents Bastiodon from being knocked out in one hit by an attack when it is at full health, and it also protects against One-Hit-KO moves. - Hidden Ability (Soundproof): This ability grants immunity to all sound-based moves, such as Hyper Voice, Uproar, and Roar.

Interesting Facts: - Bastiodon's design is inspired by ancient ceratopsid dinosaurs, particularly reflecting a dinosaur with a heavily armored skull. Its face resembles a massive, toughened fortress wall, offering significant protection against physical attacks. - Its name is a combination of "bastion," indicating a strong defensive position, and "odon," derived from the Greek word for tooth
